A Quote by Bennett Miller

I do have that compulsion to organize moments into a larger thing. — © Bennett Miller
I do have that compulsion to organize moments into a larger thing.
Compulsion in religion is distinguished peculiarly from compulsion in every other thing. ...I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve and abhor.
I start to get fixated on a story and a character and an idea, and at a certain point, I really want to do it. It's a compulsion to explore a specific thing, as opposed to a compulsion to direct, generally speaking.
First organize the inner, then organize the outer ... First organize the great, then organize the small. First organize yourself, and then organize others.
We'll never get there if we let the climate crisis bloom unchecked, so for the moment the key is to organize, organize, organize!
Ideas about life organize perception; names of emotions organize sensations; rules of syntax organize thought. But pain comes on its own.
It must always be remembered that you can never do right until you are first free to do wrong; since the doing of a thing under compulsion is evidence neither of good nor bad intent; and if under compulsion, who shall decide what would be the substituted rule of action under full freedom?
There are three things we have to let go of. The first is the compulsion to be successful. Second, is the compulsion to be right-especially theologically right. (That's merely an ego trip, and because of this "need" churches split in half, with both parties prisoners of their own egos.) Finally, there is the compulsion to be powerful, to have everything under control.
You may say organize, organize, organize; but there may be so much organization that it will interfere with the work to be done.
That is our larger destiny: to allow the Earth to organize in a new way, in a manner impossible all the billions of years prior to humanity
Any imposition from without means compulsion. Such compulsion is repugnant to religion.
The inversion of external compulsion into the compulsion of conscience ... produces the machine-like assiduity and pliable allegiance required by the new rationality.
You have to organize, organize, organize, and build and build, and train and train, so that there is a permanent, vibrant structure of which people can be part.
There are moments of high mood, there are moments of low mood, there are moments of injury, there are moments of strength, there are moments of progress, there are moments of stagnation. All we can do is keep on pushing.
Once I came up with the 'Stone Cold' thing, it was like a snowball rolling down a hill; it just kept getting larger and larger, and I wasn't afraid to push the envelope.
Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.
The Jews are a Distinct Nationality regardless of where they live, their station in life or their shades of belief, and his clarion call to all the Jews in the world to 'organize, organize, organize,' until every Jew in America must stand up and be counted - counted with us - or prove himself, wittingly or unwittingly, of the few who are against their own people.
