“We need many more intrepid women who set out to expand both their and our concepts of the world. We need them in writing just as we need them in politics. We need that sense of adventure, of reaching wider, delving deeper, pushing further afield, whether that field be geographical, intellectual, political, personal, or all of these and more. Enough with decorousness. Let us risk preconceptions and treasured philosophies, bodies and souls. Let us be big and bawdy and full of courage.

“I painted the words "GREAT ADVENTURE" in Beijing, Dallas, San Francisco, Copenhagen, and Japan. What it means to me is completely different to everybody else. And that's what I love about random words and phrases taken out of context: everyone applies their own context.

“It's not my business to remedy deaths! It's my business to tell stories. Lyra and the other heroines didn't come with placards saying, "Make this a feminist story!"

“Optimism is a tonic. Pessimism is poison. Admittedly, every businessman must be realistic. He must gather facts, analyze them candidly and strive to draw logical conclusions, whether favorable or unfavorable. He must not engage in self-delusion. He must not view everything through rose-colored glasses. Granting this, the incontestable truth is that America has been built up by optimists, not by pessimists, but by men possessing courage, confidence in the nation's destiny, by men willing to adventure to shoulder risks terrifying to the timid.” MenHas BeensSelfFactsAmericaPoliticalPoliticsNationsViewsDestinyRiskWillingAdventureTruth IsDrawsBuiltOptimismRoseStriveGlassesShouldersConclusionPoisonDelusionLogicalPessimismRealisticBusinessmanOptimistPessimistPossessingSelf DelusionColored GlassRose Colored Glasses Author:B.

“There's a longstanding myth about the United States that is still very prevalent in Europe [despite recent developments]. Historically the "America" of this myth is an incredible human adventure and an experiment in political democracy.

“People should be able to develop their abilities and interests and have access to such goods as friendship, artistry, and nature and a political voice.

“No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race.” WayShouldHumansMayCharacterGovernmentFormPoliticalValuesReligiousRacePrinciplesDemocracyEconomicCreationAdventureExpressionDutyDevelopmentCitizensLimitsPhilosophicalDetermineDoctrineArtisticHuman RaceAestheticLiteracyHistoricValidityArtistic ExpressionArtistic Creation Author:Richard P.

“I’m loving doing Outlander. We’ve got a great cast and we’re up in the Scottish Highlands. […] It’s big budget, they’re spending a lot of money on it. They’re going for a very gritty and realistic portrayal of the Highlands and I play Dougal MacKenzie, the War Chieftain of Clan MacKenzie. As that implies, he’s quite the serious character. There’s lots of political intrigue, there’s romance, there’s adventure and action and there’s time-travel.” WarPlayCharacterBigsActionRomancePoliticalSeriousAdventureCastsSpendingBudgetsRealisticTime TravelLots Of MoneyIntrigueScottishClansPortrayalOutlanderSpending A Lot Of Money Author:Graham McTavish
