“The big difference is the size of the crew and the flexibility of shooting because of the size. I mean, it's crazy. So you can't improvise, you cannot suddenly do something that comes to mind, whereas in a small production you have much more flexibility.” MindMeanBigsDifferencesCrazySizeProductionsShootingCrewFlexibility Author:Bille August
“Human beings thought with their hands. It was their hands that were the answer of curiosity, that felt and pinched and turned and lifted and hefted.

“A state is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and disestablish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate personal habits, and to censor opinions. The modern state claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and Democrats.” MindWarRealMatterStatesForceCommunityDifferencesOpinionModernCrimeTheoryHabitTaxesClaimsAbsolutesPropertyDemocratSizeCommunistMonopolyDisobedienceFascistsMaking Peace Book:A Preface to Morals Source: A Preface to Morals

A family is a nation seen through the wrong end of a telescope; a nation is a family seen through the right end of a telescope, and I don't believe it is possible to achieve a happy and successful family life, or a happy and successful national life, unless we bear this simple fact in mind and behave accordingly.” MindBelieveEndsFactsNationsDifferencesSimpleFamilySuccessfulAchieveBearsDon't BelieveSizeBehaveFamily LifeTelescopes Book:A pocketful of pebbles Source: A pocketful of pebbles
“The right way to deal with healthcare reform is not to have a one-size-fits-all plan that's imposed on all the states, but recognizing the differences between different states' populations, states should be able to craft their own plans to get all their citizens insured, and to make sure that preexisting conditions are covered.” WayShouldDifferentStatesAbleDifferencesDealsPlansConditionsCitizensFitSizePopulationCraftsReformCoveredHealthcareRight WayRecognizingOne Size Fits AllHealthcare Reform Author:Mitt Romney

“Once a century, all of a certain kind of bamboo flower on the same day. Whether they are in Malaysia or in a greenhouse in Minnesota makes no difference, nor does the age or size of the plant. They flower. Some current of an inner language passes between them, through space and separation, in ways we cannot explain in our language. They are all, somehow, one plant, each with a share of communal knowledge.” WayKindDoeAgeCertainLanguageDifferencesSpaceShareCenturyFlowerPlantSizeCurrentsSeparationGreenhousesMinnesotaMalaysiaBamboo Author:Linda Hogan
“Each form of the acting is different. I think it keeps your mind active. TV, film and theater are different disciplines, as are independent films, opposed to studio films.

“Structurally we should understand that one cannot think that the human brain is different from the brain of the other vertebrates.
