“The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once remarked that if you ask a man how much is two plus two and he tells you five, that is a mistake. But if you ask a man how much is two plus two and he tells you ninety-seven, that is no longer a mistake.

“Americans like a winner. If you lose, you're nothing. I'm going to win, though. It's good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We've met five times.

“My relationship with brick-and-mortar shopping is, in general, unpleasant. I can't remember a time in my life when I could go to a physical store and find a variety of things in my size that excited me and fit my personal style. As a plus-size shopper at a typical mall, you're limited to at most five stores out of maybe 50 clothing retailers. That leaves us with very few options and, for people on a tight budget, pretty much no chance of comparison shopping. You take what you can get.” PeopleI CanRememberChanceFiveStyleFitSizeExcitedStoresVarietyBudgetsComparisonPlusShoppingClothingsTypicalBricksMallsPersonal StyleMortarRetailersShoppersPlus SizeBricks And Mortar Author:Lindy West

It was a B-movie and was elevated to an A-plus movie by sheer good taste.” WantHoursFiveTasteDirectorsHollywoodOriginalsHeavyAliensPlanesPlusWowMetalsSheerGood TasteHeavy Metal Author:Ridley Scott
“To create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing: start calling mistakes, errors - sins. They are simply mistakes, human. Now, if somebody commits a mistake in mathematics - two plus two, and he concludes it makes five - you don`t say he has committed a sin. He is unalert, he is not paying attention to what he is doing. He is unprepared, he has not done his homework. He is certainly committing a mistake, but a mistake is not a sin. It can be corrected. A mistake does not make him feel guilty. At the most it makes him feel foolish.” IfsNeedsFeelsHumansDoeTwoDoneSinSimpleAttentionMistakeFiveCallingMathematicsGuiltErrorsCommittedFoolishCommitGuiltyPay AttentionPlusHomeworkSimple ThingsUnprepared Author:Rajneesh
“I was very young, maybe five. The opera was very... I was attracted to opera to the point that I think it's the reason I started to write music for films. I never studied. There are film and music school that teach you how to write music. I never studied that. But the influence of opera, which is a combination of storyline, visuals, staging, plus music... that was perhaps the best school I could have had. That's what gave me the idea of coming to Hollywood to write music for films.” ThinkingWritingIdeasReasonSchoolFilmYoungTeachFiveInfluenceHollywoodCombinationVisualsPlusOperaStorylineStagingBest SchoolFilm And Music Author:Lalo Schifrin
