“Politicians and bureaucrats clearly have no idea how complicated markets are. Every day people make countless tradeoffs, in all areas of life, based on subjective value judgements and personal information as they delicately balance their interests, needs and wants. Who is in a better position than they to tailor those choices to best serve their purposes? Yet the politicians believe they can plan the medical market the way you plan a birthday party.” PeopleWayWantNeedsBelieveIdeasPurposeValuesChoicesInterestPartyPlansInformationPositionBalancePoliticianAreasComplicatedMedicalNo IdeaJudgementSubjectiveBureaucratsTailorsBirthday PartyNeeds And WantsPersonal Information Author:John Stossel
“I wouldn't say the purpose of making art is to enjoy it necessarily. For me, it happens to be the thing I enjoy the most. I don't even know what the purpose of art is really, I just know that is something that makes me feel satisfied in a way that other things don't. That's all I know, that's why I like to write songs and films or draw. I just like to make things and somehow I find it gives me a feeling of satisfaction that I can't find in other areas of my life.” KnowsWayGivingFeelsWritingArtI CanFeelingsHappensFilmPurposeSongEnjoyDrawsArt IsAreasGive MeSatisfactionSatisfiedPurpose Of Art Author:Sean Lennon
“Struggle has a natural place in our life, but the fight or flight syndrome is often false struggle. There are times for that but we can have that reaction in areas of our life where it's not successful. Areas that concern existential issues or qualities of life - like meaning or purpose or love. These things actually come to us more as we let go of struggling to achieve them.” PurposeFightingNaturalQualityStruggleIssuesSuccessfulOur LivesAchieveLetting GoAreasConcernReactionsFlightExistentialQuality Of LifeSyndromes Author:Roger Housden
“You know what your trouble is? You're the kind who always reads the handbook. Anything people build, any kind of technology, it's going to have some specific purpose. It's for doing something that somebody already understands. But if it's new technology, it'll open areas nobody's ever thought of before. You read the manual, man, and you won't play around with it, not the same way. And you get all funny when somebody else uses it to do something you never thought of.” PeopleIfsKnowsMenWayKindPlayUsePurposeTechnologyTroubleAreasNew TechnologyManuals Author:William Gibson
“Lord Maccon asked meekly, shifting against her in a manner that ensured she realized the nibbling had affected his outsides just as much as her insides. Alexia was partly shocked, partly intrigued by the idea that as he was naked, she might actually get to see what he looked like. She had seen sketches of the nude male, of course, for purely technical purposes. She was given to wonder if werewolves were anatomically bigger in certain areas.” IfsIdeasMightPurposeCertainCoursesGivenWonderLordAreasBiggerMalesNakedAffectedShockedShiftingWerewolfIntriguedNibbling Author:Gail Carriger

“...this bill will require the creation of a Federal police force of mammoth proportions. It also bids fair to result in the development of an 'informer' psychology in great areas of our national life-neighbors spying on neighbors, workers spying on workers, business spying on businessmen-were those who would harass their fellow citizens for selfish and narrow purposes will have ample inducement to do so. These, the Federal police force an 'informer' psychology, are the hallmarks of the police state and landmarks in the destruction of a free society.” StatesPurposeForceResultsPsychologyCreationDevelopmentCitizensAreasFairsDestructionPoliceFellowsBillsWorkersNeighborSelfishCivil RightsProportionBusinessmanFree SocietyHallmarkPolice StateLandmarksPolice ForceInformers Author:Barry Goldwater
