“Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing; for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars.

“As well as Japanese animation, technology has a huge influence on Japanese society, and also Japanese novels. It's because before, people tended to think that ideology or religion were the things that actually changed people, but it's been proven that that's not the case. Technology has been proven to be the thing that's actually changing people. So in that sense, it's become a theme in Japanese culture.” PeopleThinkingWellsHas BeensCultureCasesTechnologyNovelInfluenceChangedHugeIdeologyThemeProvenAnimationJapanese CultureJapanese Animation Author:Mamoru Oshii
“It will never be the case that people won't eat meat. I think it could conceivably be the case one day that people eat very small amounts of it.

“I think in Baroque music, especially in the case of Bach, what really transformed Bach's musical language, what changed it for him was hearing Vivaldi, hearing the sort of manipulation of small cells of information and patterns in order to generate sort of huge blocks of harmony.” ThinkingOrderLanguageCasesInformationChangedHugeHarmonyMusicalPatternsHearingBlockCellsManipulationTransformedBaroqueBaroque MusicVivaldi Author:Mahan Esfahani
“What I see now is that even with the Islamists, who have been portraying themselves as the alternative to corruption and dictatorship and in defence of more transparency, there is one respect in which they have now changed completely.

“It's important to teach students about the reality of the system, that it is in fact the case that they are being targeted unfairly, that the rules have been set up in a way that authorize unfair treatment of them, and how difficult it is to challenge these laws in the courts. We need to teach them how our politics have changed in recent years, how there has been, in fact, a backlash.
