A Quote by Susan Sontag

In character, as it were, the writer settles for an impression of what happened rather than creating the sense of the thing happening.

Gore Vidal

With the rise of cable, network is clearly floundering because the characters on cable are far more fascinating than they are on network. Network television is trying to figure it out. Network television really relies on story rather than character, and cable relies on character.

Dylan McDermott

Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreams.

Roger Kahn

I'm not belittling the art world. Not at all. I take it quite seriously, actually. But the logic of art is a vanguard logic that pressures art to incorporate the quotient of risk.

Rachel Kushner

Everybody can do something toward creating in his own environment kindly feelings rather than anger, reasonableness rather than hysteria, happiness rather than misery.

Bertrand Russell

Creating art or something beautiful makes you a more fulfilled person than they can ever be because they're caught up in what they hate rather than what they love.

Andy Biersack

It's very true that an artist who networks well will have better opportunities than one who doesn't network well. But great networking skills without great art won't change art history.

Mark Kostabi

Direct sales offers the education my rich dad taught: build your own network rather than working for a network.

Robert Kiyosaki

Prudence operates on life in the same manner as rule of composition; it produces vigilance rather than elevation; rather prevents loss than procures advantage; and often miscarriages, but seldom reaches either power or honor.

Samuel Johnson

There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

I tend to make my most important decisions by following my instincts rather than any straightforward logic.

Marco Bizzarri

For most people, the price for security is personal freedom. And without freedom, many people spend their lives working for money, rather than living out to their dreams

Robert Kiyosaki

It is possible--indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic--to give in advance a description of all 'true' logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.

Arthur Conan Doyle

The machine has no feelings, it feels no fear and no hope ... it operates according to the pure logic of probability. For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately than man.

Max Frisch

I have said that science is impossible without faith. ... Inductive logic, the logic of Bacon, is rather something on which we can act than something which we can prove, and to act on it is a supreme assertion of faith ... Science is a way of life which can only fluorish when men are free to have faith.

Norbert Wiener
