“I find as a viewer, when I go to see comedies, the strain to be funny throughout the whole thing. I start to lose my sense of reality, and it ends up feeling like an empty experience; there's funny stuff in it but I've lost the emotional connection to the characters because it's just so bananas.” EndsWholeCharacterFeelingsRealityLostStuffLosesComedyEmotionalEmptyConnectionsViewersStrainBananasEmotional ConnectionFunny Stuff Author:Mike White

“I'm one of those pathetic actors who will say yes to every play reading just because I do miss the stage so much. What I really miss about the theater is that in the end, it's yours to give. In television and film, it's yours to do and someone else's to take and someone else's to give.

“To oscillate between drill exercises that strive to attain efficiency in outward doing without the use of intelligence, and an accumulation of knowledge that is supposed to be an ultimate end in itself, means that education accepts the present social conditions as final, and thereby takes upon itself the responsibility for perpetuating them. A reorganization of education so that learning takes place in connection with the intelligent carrying forward of purposeful activities is a slow work. It can be accomplished only piecemeal, a step at a time.” MeanEndsUseSocialResponsibilityAcceptingStepsConditionsExerciseActivityConnectionsUltimateIntelligentStriveFinalsSupposed To BeAccomplishedWorking ItEfficiencyAccumulationDrillsPerpetuatingSocial ConditionsReorganization Book:Democracy And Education Source: Democracy And Education
