“It seems clear to me that marriage ought to be constituted by children, and relations not involving children ought to be ignored by the law and treated as indifferent by public opinion. It is only through children that relations cease to be a purely private matter.” ChildrenMatterSeemsLawOpinionClearOughtRelationCeaseTreatedIndifferentIgnoredPublic OpinionInvolving Book:Autobiography Source: Autobiography
“Now we will no longer concede so easily that anyone has the truth; the rigorous methods of inquiry have spread sufficient distrust and caution, so that we experience every man who represents opinions violently in word and deed as any enemy of our present culture, or at least as a backward person. And in fact, the fervor about having the truth counts very little today in relation to that other fervor, more gentle and silent, to be sure, for seeking the truth, a search that does not tire of learning afresh and testing anew.” MenLittlesPersonsDoeFactsTodayCultureOpinionEnemyRelationMethodSilentSeekingDeedsSpreadEvery ManGentleSufficientDistrustInquiryTestingCautionTireFervor Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“To try to regulate the internal affairs of a family, the relations of love or friendship, or many other things of the same sort, by law or by the coercion of public opinion, is like trying to pull an eyelash out of a man's eye with a pair of tongs.

“The thoughts and opinions of one human being, if they are sincere, must always have an interest for some other human beings. The world is there to think about; and if we have lived, or are living, with any sort of energy, we must have thought about it, and about ourselves in relation to it - thought 'furiously' often. And it is out of the many 'thinkings' of many folk, strong or weak, dull or far-ranging, that thought itself grows.” IfsThinkingWorldHumansEnergyStrongGrowsInterestHuman BeingsOpinionWeakRelationFolksDullSincere Author:Mary Augusta Ward
“Learning the craft as an actor in Los Angeles is a very hard thing to do, in my opinion. We all come from a certain world and when you start learning the craft, you need material to read/study that you can relate to. We do not have too many Latino writers on the West Coast that I was able to relate to (or at least, I didn't know at the time). I came from the streets, so the most published authors had no relation to my world. As soon as I picked up Pinero & Guirgis, it was all over. It was my world, just in a different location. They cracked me open inside and out.” KnowsWorldNeedsDifferentHardAbleCertainActorsOpinionStudyStreetsMaterialsRelationWestCraftsRelateThings To DoOver ItLos AngelesLocationCoastLatinoCrackedHard ThingsWest Coast Author:Richard Cabral
