Not only the entire ability to think rests on language... but language is also the crux of the misunderstanding of reason with itself.
I am inspired by human sexuality. The act itself is mechanical and holds little interest to me.
Life is an end in itself, and the only question as to whether it is worth living is whether you have had enough of it.
I've not really spent much time in proper studios. The room itself where you're recording, and how you live while you're there is what appeals to me.
Every time you make a film, you create a world. You make decisions about sets and costumes, and you create a universe connected to reality, but not reality itself.
The problem with Myspace was always that it was never as strong a product as it needed to be. It left itself vulnerable to competition. It was only a matter of time before someone created something better.
The less you struggle with a problem, the more it's likely to solve itself. The less time you spend frantically running around, the more productive you are likely to be.
Spending time with the military certainly lends itself to some remarkable experiences, and I've been privileged to have had my share.
The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.
I focus on the writing and let the rest of the process take care of itself. I've learned to trust my own instincts and I've also learned to take risks.
Abraham Lincoln: A house divided against itself... would be better than this!
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.
All evolutionary biologists know that variation itself is nature's only irreducible essence... I had to place myself amidst the variation.
The name Peace River itself is the monument of a successful effort on the part of the Company to bring about a better understanding between the Crees and the Beavers.
Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace.
That is to say, epic poetry has been invented many times and independently; but, as the needs which prompted the invention have been broadly similar, so the invention itself has been.
I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.
That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information, and indigestible glut of information, and less and less understanding.
Without renouncing the support of physics, it is possible for the physiology of the senses, not only to pursue its own course of development, but also to afford to physical science itself powerful assistance.
Science does not limit itself merely to what is currently verifiable. But it is interested in questions that are potentially verifiable (or, rather, falsifiable).
You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.
