“I have been given a unique role to play on this earth: given to me by a life filled with sickness, ill-starred circumstances and my profession as an artist.

“I think your text [script] is everything; it's what informs you; it's what gives you the given circumstances. Then you take that and you add your own creativity and your own spin on things and you make it personal. That's what makes that character and that text unique to you, when you personalize it.

“History has got a lot to do with unique circumstances under certain particular cases and grand theories will always find counter cases. I don't think that people whose expertise lies in one thing should try to make grand theories about something (a) where it's very hard to get the evidence to prove that you're right and (b) where it's much too easy to make up stories that seem right.” PeopleThinkingShouldTryingHardStoriesSeemsLyingCertainEasyCasesOne ThingParticularTheoryCircumstancesProveUniqueEvidenceExpertise Author:Richard Lewontin
“Inside each of us is a unique person resulting from millennia of environment and heredity combined in a way that could never happen again and could never have happened before.

“One of the great intellectual mistakes Einstein made is that he thought that space and time are physically or ontologically entangled. In the present non-spatial universal computational program, space and time happen to be entangled to the extent that, under certain unique circumstances, changes in spatial measurements indicate changes in temporal ones. However, a change in the program itself may cause space and time to disentangle.” MayMadeHappensCertainCausesSpaceMistakeCircumstancesUniqueIntellectualProgramUniversalTime And SpaceMeasurementSpatial Author:Kedar Joshi
“The problem the world faces today is that only one-third of the world's population lives in decent circumstances, while half the population of the world lives on one or two dollars a day. And even as we have this poverty and backwardness, we are facing a global environmental crisis.
