“To me, a person's identity is composed of both an 'I' and a 'we.' The 'I' finds itself in love, work, and pleasure, but it also locates itself within some meaningful group identity - a tribe, a community, a 'we.' America is too big and bland a tribe for most of us.” PersonsBigsAmericaCommunityPleasureGroupsIdentityMeaningfulTribesBlandGroup Identity Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin

“Vampires get the joy of flying around and living forever, werewolves get the joy of animal spirits. But zombies, they're not rich, or aristocratic, they shuffle around.

“One absolutely crucial change is that feminist film theory is today an academic subject to be studied and taught.

“In the natural order no matter what ideals may be theoretically possible, most people more or less live for themselves and for their own interests and pleasures or for those of their own family or group, and therefore they are constantly interfering with one another's aims, and hurting one another and injuring one another, whether they mean it or not.” PeopleMayMeanMatterOrderInterestNaturalHurtPleasureGroupsIdealsAimNo Matter WhatInterfereNatural Order Book:The Seven Storey Mountain Source: The Seven Storey Mountain

“It is a great pleasure to be performing with a big band. Those people took part in a group that played the music from the Kino Kultura album i.e. the soundtrack music I've been doing. It is difficult to organise them all and to have those people for a certain date since they all have their own obligations and arrangements. It is a great privilege to gather all those musicians at one place, especially these that I work with, since they perform regularly abroad, at weddings or are working somewhere else.” PeopleBigsCertainDifficultPleasureGroupsBandMusicianPrivilegeAlbumsObligationPerformingArrangementsSomewhere ElseSoundtracks Author:Vlatko Stefanovski
