“Growing older is an opportunity for you to increase your value and competence as the neural connections in your hippocampus and throughout your brain increase, weaving into your brain and body the wisdom of a life well lived, which allows you to stop living out of fear of disappointing others and being imperfect. Ageless living is courageous living. It means being undistracted by the petty dramas of life because you have enough experience to know what’s not worth worrying about and what ought to be your priorities.” KnowsWellsMeanEnoughBodyValuesOpportunityBrainWorryGrowingOughtDramaConnectionsIncreasePrioritiesCourageousImperfectPettyCompetenceGrowing OldDisappointingGrowing OlderWeavingLife Well LivedAgelessBeing Imperfect Author:Christiane Northrup
“In the networks' endless pursuit of controversy, we should ask what is the end value ... to enlighten or to profit? What is the end result ... to inform or to confuse?

“When I say that I can write nothing but weird fiction, I am not trying to exalt that medium but am merely confessing my own weakness. The reason I can't write other kinds is not that I don't value & respect them, but merely that my slender set of endowments does not enable me to extract a compellingly acute personal sense of interest & drama from the natural phenomena of life.” WritingTryingKindDoeI CanReasonValuesInterestNaturalMy OwnFictionDramaWeaknessMediumsEndowmentSlenderConfessingNatural Phenomena Author:H.

“What initially attracted me to The Seventh Seal was that it had values and characteristics which I was familiar with in other art forms, most notably, the European novel and certain forms on English drama, and indeed, in relation to my rather academic interest in history -- not "history" in the normal sense, but history as a form of entertainment . It might be a very unfashionable view but I believe that history is an amazing bank or reserve area of plots, characterisations, extraordinary events, etc.” BelieveArtMightFormCertainValuesI BelieveInterestViewsNovelEventsDramaNormalAreasRelationExtraordinaryEntertainmentFamiliarCharacteristicsEtcPlotAcademicReservesSeals Author:Peter Greenaway
“The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.” SufferingValuesSocialLossSpecialGeniusTerribleDramaUniversalTragedyPressureFeminineExceptionalRestrictionIdenticalSocial PressureSpecial Gifts Book:Woman's Share in Social Culture Source: Woman's Share in Social Culture

“We have a slate of four films. From Karen Young - the USA bestselling author - we have Blood Bayou.

“I think that is one of the things that is beautiful about fiction and that you can do through drama. If I was a detective, I could make a certain version of everything we know to be exactly true.

“You become a character in a meta-drama into which your own dramatizing has pitched you. The rewards can be fantastic, the punishments dismal; it's a zero sum game, and its guarantor of value, its marker is that you pretend you play it solo, preserving the myth that you alone are the wellspring of your creativity.” PlayCharacterValuesGamesCreativityDramaRewardsMythPunishmentFantasticZeroSoloMarkersWellspringZero Sum Game Author:Tony Kushner
“It's CNN who really should hold Trump accountable. And because they are trading the short-term fix of increased ratings by focusing on Trump drama - and I'm not saying they shouldn't cover the Russian investigations, of course they should - but the blanket coverage, it's not about news values. It is about ratings. And it comes at a tremendous cost because Trump supporters are fully defended against this. As far as they're concerned, this is a vast conspiracy, it's fake news, it doesn't impact their daily lives, it makes them see Trump as a victim, which he wants to be seen as.” ValuesDramaConcernedVictimFakeDaily LifeConspiracySupporterTradingBlanket Author:Naomi Klein
