“It seems to me obvious that infants and many animals that do not in any ordinary sense have a language or perform speech acts nonetheless have Intentional states. Only someone in the grip of a philosophical theory would deny that small babies can literally be said to want milk and that dogs want to be let out or believe that their master is at the door.” WantBelieveSaidStatesSeemsLanguageAnimalDoorsDogMastersTheoryBabySpeechOrdinaryPhilosophicalObviousDenyMilkInfant Author:John Searle
“The artist's business is to take sorrow when it comes. The depth and capacity of his reception is the measure of his art; and when he turns his back on his own suffering, he denies the very laws of his being and closes the door on everything that can ever make him great.” ArtLawArtistSufferingTurnsDoorsSorrowCapacityDepthDenyGreat ArtGreat ArtistReception Book:The Journey's Echo: Selections Source: The Journey's Echo: Selections
“When people run a business and open their door to the public, they must serve the public. That doesn't mean they can't say whatever they want to say. It doesn't mean they can't believe whatever they want to believe. Those are protected also. But businesses must serve the public. And that's a principle that we fought for in this country over many, many decades, when some were invoking religious freedom as an excuse to deny people on the basis of their race, on the basis of their religion, on the basis of sex and on the basis now of sexual orientation. Let's not confuse one thing with the other.” PeopleWantBelieveMeanCountryRunningSexReligiousRacePrinciplesDoorsOne ThingBasesExcuseDenyDecadesProtectedOrientationReligious Freedom Author:Chris Christie
