“I think it’s important that nobody forgets that although Hollywood commercially dominates the world cinema, in fact what comes out of the filmmaking here is only a tiny slice out of the massive amount of operation that goes on around the world.” ThinkingWorldImportantFactsForgetGoes OnAmountHollywoodTinyAround The WorldOperationsCinemaMassiveFilmmaking Author:Mike Leigh
“This is the constitutional limitation of man's knowledge and interests, the fact that he cannot know more than a tiny part of the whole of society and that therefore all that can enter into his motives are the immediate effects which his actions will have in the sphere he knows.” KnowsMenWholeFactsActionInterestEffectsTinyLimitationMotiveSpheres Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“It does not take a great supernatural heroine or magical hero to save the world.We all save it every day, and we all destroy it -- in our own small ways -- by every choice we make and every tiniest action resulting from that choice.The next time you feel useless and impotent, remember what you are in fact doing in this very moment. And then observe your tiny, seemingly meaningless acts and choices coalesce and cascade together into a powerful positive whole.The world -- if it could -- will thank you for it.And if it does not... well, a true heroine or hero does not require it.” IfsWorldWayFeelsWellsDoeWholeMomentsFactsActionTogetherRememberChoicesNextPowerfulHeroTinyUselessMeaninglessNext TimeSave The WorldHeroinesPowerlessnessCascadeTrue Hero Author:Vera Nazarian
“While we only look at Nature it is fair to say that Autumn is the end of the year; but it is still more true that Autumn is the beginning of the year.... Autumn is the time when in fact the leaves bud. Leaves wither because winter begins; but they also wither because spring is already beginning, because new buds are being made, as tiny as percussion caps out of which the spring will crack.... It is only an optical illusion that my flowers die in autumn; for in reality they are born.” YearsLooksMadeStillsEndsFactsRealityDiesBornFlowerSpringIllusionFairsWinterTinyAutumnCracksCapsBudPercussionOptical Illusions Author:Karel Capek

“There are many other (besides testosterone) behaviour-eliciting hormones fundamental for humen well-being, including estrogen and progesterone in females. The fact that complex behavioural patterns can be triggered by a tiny concentration of moleculas coursing through the bloodstream, and that different animals of the same species generate different amounts of these hormones, is something worth thinking about when it's time to judge such matters as free will, individual responsibility, and law and order.” ThinkingWellsDifferentMatterFactsLawOrderIndividualAnimalResponsibilityJudgingEvolutionAmountFemaleFundamentalsSpeciesComplexesIncludingPatternsTinyWell BeingConcentrationFree WillBehaviourHormonesLaw And OrderTestosteroneIndividual ResponsibilityEstrogenDifferent Animals Author:Carl Sagan
“...and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called "cells"! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying! This is a fact. Your skin is like an aggressive modern corporation, where the older veteran cells, who have finally worked their way to the top and obtained offices with nice views,are constantly being shoved out the window head first, without so much as a pension plan,by younger hotshot cells moving up from below.” WayFirstsHumansMadeFactsMovingInterestingViewsNicePlansModernDyingOfficeWindowSkinsBillionsTinyCellsCorporationsAggressiveUnitsVeteranPensionMoving UpPension Plans Author:Dave Barry
