The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group cooperative experience.

We are different in essence from other men. If you want to win something run 100 meters. If you want to experience something run a marathon.

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.

The essence of the Hebrew Bible transmitted by Christianity is separation: between life and death nature and God good and evil man and woman and the holy and the profane.
