Til 1983, I wrote primarily for other psychologists and expected that they would be the principal audience for my book.
While I've worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences.
Telling writers to shut up is a sure way to keep them talking.
Next to the bestowal of life itself, the right to direct that life is God's greatest gift to man.
IT is difficult to speak or write with becoming moderation or propriety, on topics to which we are biased by prejudice, interest, or even principle.
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
Collecting facts is important. Knowledge is important. But if you don't have an imagination to use the knowledge, civilization is nowhere.
The conscious process is reflected in the imagination; the unconscious process is expressed as karma, the generation of actions divorced from thinking and alienated from feeling.
Now where people are - at least the people I talk to - they are focused on issues of trust. Accountability also comes up, to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
Is there any purpose to translating poetry? A poem does not contain information of importance, like a signpost or a warning notice.
Poetry and prose are of equal importance to me as a reader, and there doesn't seem to be much difference in my own writing.
We explore our environment, more than we are compelled to utter poetry, when we're toddlers. We start doing that later. Before that happens, every child is a scientist.
I began the way nearly everybody I ever heard of - I began writing poetry. And I find that to be quite usual with writers, their trying their hand at poetry.
I used to write sonnets and various things, and moved from there into writing prose, which, incidentally, is a lot more interesting than poetry, including the rhythms of prose.
As far as I am concerned, poetry is a statement concerning the human condition, composed in verse.
The romantic appeal of solar sailing has ensured that its advocates consistently come from the worlds of both science fiction and science fact.
Being a monarchist - saying that one small group is born more worthy of respect than another - is just as warped and strange as being a racist.
I have so much respect for directors. It's a tremendous amount of pressure; you have to keep steadfast and keep what you know is right.
Most science fiction, quite frankly, is silly nonsense.
It was generally believed that Catholics were not interested in arts and science graduate schools. They weren't going to be intellectuals. And so I put the theses to the test. And they all collapsed.
With a background in science I am extremely interested in the meeting ground of science, theology, and philosophy, especially the ethical questions at the border of science and theology.
