“The great advantages of simulation and dissimulation are three. First to lay asleep opposition and to surprise. For where a man's intentions are published, it is an alarum to call up all that are against them. The second is to reserve a man's self a fair retreat: for if a man engage himself, by a manifest declaration, he must go through, or take a fall. The third is, the better to discover the mind of another. For to him that opens himself, men will hardly show themselves adverse; but will fair let him go on, and turn their freedom of speech to freedom of thought.” IfsMenMindFirstsSelfShowsTurnsFallThreeGoes OnSpeechAdvantageFairsThirdsLaysIntentionSurpriseDeceptionOppositionManifestFreedom Of SpeechReservesDeclarationRetreatFreedom Of ThoughtAdverseSimulationLet Him Go Book:Essays Source: Essays
“I writhe when I see myself on the screen. I'm such a dreadfully clumsy hulking image. I say to myself, "Why doesn't he get off? Why doesn't he get off?" I mean, I look like such an idiot.

“So these liberals say historical research can't possibly discover the Jesus of faith, because the Jesus of faith is not rooted in history. He's merely a symbol. But listen: Jesus is not a symbol of anything unless he's rooted in history. The Nicene Creed doesn't say, "We wish these things were true." It says, "Jesus Christ was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and the third day he rose again from the dead,' and it goes on from there.” JesusWishChristGoes OnResearchJesus ChristThirdsRoseHistoricalSymbolsRootedCreedsHistorical Research Author:Gregory A.

“I'm a husband and a dad. Two thirds of my day is spent being that character. It's a huge part of my identity and why I pursue things I do. I'm interested in questions my son asks me, like, "Why do animals fight? Why do you have to leave us to go on the road?" Everything he asks gets me thinking. If I'm going to do this, sacrifice time with family and friends, sacrifice resources, I need to think carefully about what I going to say and how I'm going to say it.” IfsThinkingNeedsTwoCharacterFightingAsksAnimalSacrificeIdentitySonHugeGoes OnDadHusbandResourcesThirdsPursueAsk MeMy SonFamily And Friends Author:Ben Sollee
“That was a really interesting series [Threshold ] that I think would've been really great had it continued. I know Brannon Braga, who was running the show at the time, had a lot of really interesting ideas for what was going to happen the second, third, fourth, and fifth seasons, and they had it really planned out what was going to go on. But CBS just decided to pull the plug on it.” ThinkingKnowsIdeasShowsHappensRunningInterestingGoes OnDecidedThirdsSeasonsSeriesFourthReally GreatFifthReally InterestingThresholdPlugsInteresting Ideas Author:Brent Spiner
