“Creativity depends on a number of things: experience, including knowledge and technical skills; talent; an ability to think in new ways; and the capacity to push through uncreative dry spells.” ThinkingWayAbilityNumbersCreativityTalentDependsSkillsCapacityIncludingDrySpellsNew WaysTechnical Skills Author:Teresa Amabile
“To feel that you are the Buddha of all times and places and that in some way the salvation of anyone, including yourself, depends upon you, I think there's a lot of ego involved in such a view, not much self-transcendence.” ThinkingWayFeelsSelfViewsCompassionDependsInvolvedEgoSalvationIncludingAll TimeTranscendence Author:Frederick Lenz
“With Republicans in control of the Senate for the first time since Barack Obama took office, the president may find it harder to appoint left-wing lawyers to judgeships. Whether he compromises on some of his nominees, including any to the Supreme Court, may depend on the willingness of the new Republican majority to engage the president on judicial philosophy.” FirstsMayPhilosophyLeftPresidentDependsRepublicanOfficeFirst TimeHarderMajorityCourtWingsIncludingLawyerSupremeCompromiseBarackWillingnessSenateSupreme CourtNotableJudicialLeft Wing Author:Terry Eastland
“We don't even know what species are out there, for the most part, particularly when you get down to the microbes and very small invertebrates. They make up the mass of the organisms around us, including the soil we depend on, the soil of cornfields as well as hardwood forests. We haven't taken ecology to the point where we can even make a crude prediction of what's going to happen when we've reduced the living world down to a certain level.” KnowsWorldWellsHappensCertainLevelsTakenHavensDependsMassSpeciesIncludingForestsSoilOrganismsEcologyPredictionsCrudeMicrobesHardwoodInvertebrates Author:E.

“Yes, exes can be good friends, but after a certain time. Though no break-up is a good break-up, time heals everything, including broken friendships.

“I am quite surprised and rather disappointed by the loneliness, isolation and indeed demonisation the sadly misunderstood CO2 is experiencing. Thus, upon leaving the parliament, I am contemplating the foundation of an organisation called 'The Friends of Carbon Dioxide'. Membership will of course be open to all, including the plants whose very existence depends on CO2. I think this organisation's slogan, 'CO2 is not pollution', self-selects. It has both accuracy and melody to commend it.” ThinkingSelfCoursesExistenceLonelinessDependsFoundationPlantLeavingIncludingIsolationMelodyDisappointedContemplatingPollutionCarbonParliamentSlogansAccuracyOrganisationMembershipCarbon DioxideCo2 Author:Nick Minchin
“What I've learned about that word is context, where the world is coming from - in the era the film is set, it obviously is used derogatorily. In 'Selma,' it was the same sort of thing. Of course now, in music, it's used in many more ways, including ways that takes the sting out of it. It all depends on where and when it is used, and how you look at it. But again in 'Race,' it is intensely disrespectful.” WorldWayLooksFilmUsedCoursesRaceDependsIncludingErasI've LearnedDisrespectful Author:Stephan James
“The role of metaphysics in relation to other disciplines, whether philosophical or not and including the natural sciences, is thus a foundational role. Lack of clarity in the concepts of metaphysics implies lack of clarity in other disciplines - both theoretical and practical disciplines - employing those concepts or employing concepts that depend on those of metaphysics.” NaturalRolesDependsDisciplineConceptsRelationPhilosophicalIncludingPracticalsClarityMetaphysicsTheoreticalNatural ScienceEmploying Author:Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
