“It's disheartening that animal people criticize societies that enlist the help of actors or organize creative acts like 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur,' to increase public awareness to our cause. These are great/courageous ideas which time has come! Liberation of animals is REVOLUTION - not elegant performance/ intellectual competition. We should do most anything to advance the animal rights cause. All the bickering may make the one step forward...

“The hallucinogens produce visionary states, sort of, but morphine and its derivatives decrease awareness of inner processes, thoughts and feelings. They are pain killers; pure and simple. They are absolutely contraindicated for creative work, and I include in the lot alcohol, morphine, barbiturates, tranquilizers the whole spectrum of sedative drugs.” StatesWholeFeelingsPainProcessSimpleCreativeAwarenessProduceDrugPureAlcoholKillersSpectrumVisionariesDecreaseCreative WorkThoughts And FeelingsDerivativesMorphineHallucinogens Book:Burroughs Live: The Collected Interviews of William S.

“If you see yourself in a favorable light, if your image of yourself is pleasant, if this visual concept of yourself cannot be shaken by temporary defeats, then you have reached the goal achieved by the most fortunate. Not everyone reaches this mental state; in fact, many people do not even believe it is possible. Happiness and peace of mind are a matter of consciousness. We must create the inner-harmony we desire.

“Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.” PeopleIfsThinkingMeanPersonsActorsProcessActingCreativeAwarenessMusicianProfessionPainterCreative ProcessCreative PeopleCreative PersonCreative Business Author:Anthony Hopkins

“Discipline, as understood by a warrior, is creative, open, and produces freedom.
