“I think there's an element to this business that writers especially are overlooked in many ways and this made everybody kind of look at us differently. I do think that an interesting thing happened during it, which was being on these picket lines and looking at the huge amount of executives coming and going that you realize don't really add much to the equation.” ThinkingWayLooksKindMadeRealizingLinesInterestingHappenedHugeAmountElementsAddThings HappenExecutivesEquationsInteresting ThingsOverlooked Author:Edward Allen Bernero

“The stock market crashed in October 1929. But that was not the cause of what caused the Great Depression. It was, in my opinion, a very minor element of it. What happened was that from 1929 to 1933 you had a major contraction which, in my opinion, was caused primarily by the failure of the Federal Reserve System, to follow the course of action for which it was set up. It was set up to prevent exactly what happened from 1929 to 1933. But instead of preventing it, they facilitated it.” ActionCoursesCausesOpinionHappenedElementsMajorsMinorsReservesOctoberPreventingGreat DepressionFederal ReserveContractions Author:Milton Friedman
“This is the age of fear and so many of us feel afraid to speak out about what has happened to our lives in the wake of 9/11. Television promotes the world as a scary place for the United States and this justifies peeling away every element of privacy we had before.

“The situation they [journalists and Edward Snowden] were in was incredibly heightened. The stakes were high. There was a lot of pressure, a lot of tension, a lot of sense of claustrophobic, clandestine energy that I think was exhilarating for us to explore and recreate. We were fortunate to shoot a fair amount of our stuff at the actual hotel where it all happened in Hong Kong. That added another element of very similitude to the situation, so I feel like it was exciting.” ThinkingFeelsEnergyStuffSituationHappenedAmountElementsFairsExcitingPressureJournalistFortunateTensionHotelStakesExhilaratingHong KongSnowdenClandestine Author:Zachary Quinto

“My films have always had an element of immediate autobiography, in that I shoot any particular scene according to the mood I'm in that day, according to the little daily experiences I've had and am having - but I don't tell what has happened to me. I would like to do something more strictly autobiographical, but perhaps I never will, because it isn't interesting enough.” LittlesEnoughFilmInterestingHappenedParticularSceneElementsMoodAutobiographyDaily Experience Author:Michelangelo Antonioni
“So you want another story?" Uhh... no. We would like to know what really happened." Doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" Uhh... perhaps in English. In Japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. We don't want any invention. We want the 'straight facts,' as you say in English." Isn't telling about something--using words, English or Japanese--already something of an invention? Isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?” KnowsWorldWantFactsStoriesHappenedThis WorldElementsInventionUsing Words Book:Life of Pi Source: Life of Pi
