“I never wanted to do Harry Potter. I thought it should have stayed as a book. There are some books that should be made into movies and some that shouldn't. Harry Potter is 70% imagination. When the movie comes out, it's going to be such a stereotype for kids. When they think of Harry Potter, they're going to think of what is portrayed on screen.” ThinkingShouldMadeBookKidsWantedImaginationShould HaveScreensHarry PotterStereotypePotters Author:Haley Joel Osment

It's like a bit o' bad workmanship--you never see th' end o' the mischief it'll do.

“The first reason for psychology's failure to understand what people are and how they act, is that clinicians and psychiatrists, who are generally the theoreticians on these matters, have essentially made up myths without any evidence to support them; the second reason for psychology's failure is that personality theory has looked for inner traits when it should have been looking for social context.” PeopleShouldFirstsHas BeensMadeMatterReasonSocialSupportPsychologyTheoryPersonalityEvidenceShould HaveMythTraitsShould Have BeenPsychiatristClinicians Author:Naomi Weisstein
