Minicars produce miniprofits.
I can focus on writing, or I can get lost in wonderfully fun but endless conversations and produce nothing new at all. I count on those people who enjoy my work to understand this.
In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded. . . . He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.
The inversion of external compulsion into the compulsion of conscience. . . produces the machine-like assiduity and pliable allegiance required by the new rationality.
Private, accidental, confidential conversation breeds thought. Clubs produce oftener words.

The main thing is that you have a good editor - one that believes in you and who will give you the feedback that you need to produce a good book.
I know [canned music] makes chickens lay more eggs and factory workers produce more. But how much more can they get out of you on an elevator?
Balanced budget requirements seem more likely to produce accounting ingenuity than genuinely balanced budgets.
I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It's by no means sour grapes.
[On sex:]. . . the total deprivation of it produces irritability.
I think one of the most valuable things Aerosmith has is the energy we produce when we all play together.
As individuals express their life, so they are. What they are, therefore, coincides with their production, both with what they produce and with how they produce. The nature of individuals thus depends on the material conditions determining their production.
I don't feel that one instrument has more weight than others. Any sound that you can produce adds to your vocabulary of possibilities.
All those who, since Adam Smith, have turned their attention to Political Economy, agree that in reality we do not buy articles of consumption with money, the circulating medium with which we pay for them. We must in the first instance have bought this money itself by the sale of our produce.
