“Well it's been about 100 years and every attempt at a comics writers' union has failed miserably. There is, sadly, a long history of short-term thinking and self-destructive behavior among my fellow comic book creators. No matter how many horror stories they have heard they won't even go so far as to hire themselves a lawyer when they need it. It breaks my heart. I am a very proud union member of the Writers Guild. And I can't imagine my fellow comic creators being able to pull something like this together.” ThinkingNeedsYearsWellsHeartLongI CanBookSelfMatterStoriesAbleTogetherTermBreakImagineHeardProudMy HeartHorrorMembersBehaviorFellowsUnionsCreatorLawyerComicDestructiveComic BookShort TermSelf DestructiveBreaking My HeartHorror StoriesGuildsSelf Destructive BehaviorDestructive BehaviorShort Term Thinking Author:Brian Michael Bendis
“When auditioning, I try to imagine that I'm the only person that they [directors] are seeing that day because it can be overwhelming, in the same sense that it could be overwhelming if you try to fulfil everyone's expectations rather than the people closest to you in the creative process, be it your director, or fellow actors and the writers. So, that's kind of it - I try to trick myself into believing that no one has ever gone there before.” PeopleIfsTryingBelieveKindPersonsActorsProcessGoneCreativeImagineSeeingDirectorsExpectationsFellowsTricksOverwhelmingImagine ThatCreative ProcessClosest Author:Benedict Cumberbatch
“Let us imagine a number of men in chains and all condemned to death, where some are killed each day in the sight of the others, and those who remain see their own fate in that of their fellows and wait their turn, looking at each other sorrowfully and without hope.

“We are not taught to fear our politicians, who can debase our currency, throw us in prison and send us to war - but rather we are taught to fear each other. We are taught to imagine that the real predators in this world are not those who control prison cells, national debts and nuclear weapons, but rather our fellow citizens, who in the absence of brutal control would surely tear us apart!” WorldWarRealImagineThis WorldTearsTaughtCitizensPoliticianWeaponsFellowsPrisonDebtAbsenceNuclearCellsImagine ThatNuclear WeaponsBrutalCurrencyPredatorNational DebtPrison Cells Author:Stefan Molyneux
“A formative influence on my undergraduate self was the response of a respected elder statesmen of the Oxford Zoology Department when an American visitor had just publicly disproved his favourite theory. The old man strode to the front of the lecture hall, shook the American warmly by the hand and declared in ringing, emotional tones: "My dear fellow, I wish to thank you. I have been wrong these fifteen years." And we clapped our hands red. Can you imagine a Government Minister being cheered in the House of Commons for a similar admission?

“The ideal audience the poet imagines consists of the beautiful who go to bed with him, the powerful who invite him to dinner and tell him secrets of state, and his fellow-poets. The actual audience he gets consists of myopic schoolteachers, pimply young men who eat in cafeterias, and his fellow-poets. This means, in fact, he writes for his fellow-poets.” MenWritingMeanStatesFactsBeautifulYoungPowerfulSecretAudienceImaginePoetBedIdealsFellowsDinnerYoung ManInvitesCafeteriaMyopic Author:W. H. Auden
