“But innovation is more than a new method. It is a new view of the universe, as one of risk rather than of chance or of certainty. It is a new view of man's role in the universe; he creates order by taking risks. And this means that innovation, rather than being an assertion of human power, is an acceptance of human responsibility.” MenHumansMeanOrderUniverseChangeChanceViewsResponsibilityRolesRiskAcceptanceInnovationMethodCertaintyAssertionTaking RisksHuman Power Author:Peter Drucker
“Every actor has a different temperament. Part of my job is to know what those boundaries are. The actor has to know you'll be there at the other end, that you're trying to represent them in the best light, who they are as they're harnessing these roles. The methods vary from actor to actor.” KnowsTryingDifferentEndsLightJobsActorsRolesMethodBoundariesTemperamentVary Author:Atom Egoyan
“In the past we have always assumed that the external world around us has represented reality, however confusing or uncertain, and that the inner world of our minds, its dreams, hopes, ambitions, represented the realm of fantasy, and the imagination. These roles, it seems to me, have been reversed. The most prudent and effective method of dealing with the world around us is to assume that it is a complete fiction - conversely, the one small node of reality left to us is inside of our own heads.” WorldMindHas BeensDreamRealitySeemsPastLeftImaginationFictionRolesFantasyAmbitionMethodAssumingRealmsUncertainConfusingPrudentInner World Author:J.

“It kind of varies. I don’t have a method yet. It depends on the script and the character I think I need. I’ve worked with acting coaches, researched roles, and channeled different parts of myself.

“Car prices play a large role in calculating PPPs even while they play no role whatsoever in the consumption or consumption needs of the poor. And the prices of rice, bread and beans play a small role in calculating PPPs even though they play a huge role in meeting the consumption needs of the poor. So the World Bank's method of comparing and converting everything at general purchasing power parities into US dollars is highly distorting within an exercise whose purpose it is to determine whether households are or are not capable of meeting their basic consumption needs.” WorldNeedsPlayPurposePoorRolesCarHugeExerciseCapableMethodDollarsMeetingsDetermineBreadCompareHouseholdConsumptionRiceBeansConvertingCalculatingPurchasingWorld BankPurchasing PowerParitySmall Roles Author:Thomas Pogge
“If there is no point in the universe that we discover by the methods of science, there is a point that we can give the universe by the way we live, by loving each other, by discovering things about nature, by creating works of art. And that — in a way, although we are not the stars in a cosmic drama, if the only drama we're starring in is one that we are making up as we go along, it is not entirely ignoble that faced with this unloving, impersonal universe we make a little island of warmth and love and science and art for ourselves.
