“If I was to see any of my films now I would feel, oh god you know it's awful I could do that so much better now. Look at all the terrible things I did and all the mistakes and all the compromises and all the blunders I made, and it would be such a terrible experience for me to see them. So it's better that I put it out and move on to the next thing and make it history as quickly as possible.” IfsKnowsFeelsLooksMadeWould BeFilmMovingNextMistakeTerribleCompromiseAwfulTerrible ThingsBlundersBetter Now Author:Woody Allen
“I'm drawn to the classic antihero, the guy who's probably made a bunch of mistakes and really has the capacity to go either way. That's the most interesting type of character for me to watch, to see what decisions they'll make. There's a lot of gray area there for a writer to explore.” WayMadeCharacterGuyDecisionInterestingMistakeWatchesTypeAreasCapacityBunchClassicGrayMost InterestingGray AreaAntiheroes Author:Kurt Sutter
“It is to be emphasized that no matter how many [amplitude] arrows we draw, add, or multiply, our objective is to calculate a single final arrow for the event . Mistakes are often made by physics students at first because they do not keep this important point in mind. They work for so long analyzing events involving a single photon that they begin to think that the arrow is somehow associated with the photon [rather than with the event].” ThinkingMindFirstsLongMadeImportantMatterMistakeEventsStudentsDrawsAddFinalsPhysicsObjectivesArrowsInvolvingAnalyzingPhotons Book:QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter Source: QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

“People ... become so preoccupied with the means by which an end is achieved, as eventually to mistake it for the end. Just as money, which is a means of satisfying wants, comes to be regarded by a miser as the sole thing to be worked for, leaving the wants unsatisfied; so the conduct men have found preferable because most conducive to happiness, has come to be thought of as intrinsically preferable: not only to be made a proximate end (which it should be), but to be made an ultimate end, to the exclusion of the true ultimate end.” PeopleMenWantShouldMeanMadeEndsFoundMistakeUltimateLeavingSatisfyingSoleWant UExclusionMisersUnsatisfied Author:Herbert Spencer
