One note is not music. It is what lies between the notes that makes the music. And what is between them is: their relationship. Relationships are the music life makes. Context creates meaning. Asking, "What is the meaning of life?" is the wrong quest...
It’s hard to walk briskly at this time of year; the accelerating pace of unfolding spring slows my own. I repeatedly stop- to watch what’s moving. Soon the torrent of migrants will completely overwhelm my ability to keep up with all the changes. ...
What has happened to create this doubt is that a problem (such as a deep conflict or a bad experience) has been allowed to usurp God's place and become the controlling principle of life. Instead of viewing the problem from the vantage point of faith,...
Liberals and conservatives tend to view the economy in purely materialistic terms. They make growth, security, and prosperity ends in themselves. They exalt enlightened self-interest. They tell us that productive work is the fundamental source of hum...
Whenever we take the focus off ourselves and move it outward, we benefit. Life's most fortunate ironies are that what's best for the long run is best now, and selflessness serves our interests far better than selfishness. The wider our circle of cons...

In general, I think you can watch a movie in two different ways. One is the ethical point of view, one is the point of view of the story.
My films are very rooted in specific people's point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters.
Literature is my life of course, but from an ontological point of view. From an existential point of view, I like being a teacher.
The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view. Since life is growth and motion, a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one.

On my show 'One on One', I interview leaders from around the world - in politics, business, art. My other show, 'Her Village', is more like 'The View'.
Of course he despised the world as a whole; every thoughtful man should; it is almost a test of refinement.
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world; it will accept those whom breeding and intellect and culture have alike rejected.
It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling...
