“Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.” PeopleMayCharacterStoriesSeemsAbleActionInterestingAudiencePersonalityTheatreRingsAnimationInteresting ThingsUnreal Author:Walt Disney
“At first the cartoon medium was just a novelty, but it never really began to hit until we had more than tricks... until we developed personalities. We had to get beyond getting a laugh. They may roll in the aisles, but that doesn't mean you have a great picture. You have pathos in the thing.” FirstsMayMeanLaughingPersonalityTricksMediumsCartoonAnimationNoveltyAislePathos Author:Walt Disney
“No sin is committed merely because a thought enters the mind, provided it is not made welcome. Perhaps we may use the figure that the thought first passes into an anteroom, where it stands before the mind acting as a judge. No matter how sordid or evil, it has not touched the personality with its infamy nor in any way laid guilt upon the soul unless and until the mind acting as judge admits it with a welcome. If the mind decides against it and dismisses it, the personality is not only unsullied but is, on the contrary, by this act of rejection stimulated and strengthened in moral power.” IfsWayMindFirstsMayMadeSoulMatterUseEvilSinActingMoralFiguresJudgingPersonalityGuiltCommittedContraryWelcomeRejectionTouchedInfamyPower Of Thought Author:Norman Vincent Peale
“Fashion is not style. Nay, we can say more: Fashion is instead of style. Style is an idiom springing spontaneously from the personality but deliberately maintained. If you have no personality, you may be able to save your face and, possibly, your entire anatomy by following the current fashion, but all we shall know about you, when we see you coming down the street, is that you had enough money to buy a glossy magazine and were sufficiently cunning to work out the cut of the garments shown therein.” IfsKnowsMayEnoughAbleFacesCuttingStreetsFashionStylePersonalityCurrentsFollowingWork OutMagazinesYour FaceCunningGarmentsHad EnoughAnatomyIdiom Author:Quentin Crisp
