“The show with Buckley and Vidal was happening live. There was no editing. There was no delay. So they were aghast. How America reacted is sort of the most interesting thing because as these debates progressed, the ratings were going up. So people began to program these sort of point-counterpoint setups, where two people with opposite sides would come on.” PeopleTwoShowsAmericaSidesInterestingHappeningsProgramOppositesDebateEditingDelayMost InterestingInteresting ThingsRatingSetupsAghast Author:Morgan Neville
“I understand the opposite side of the camera. I have a profound respect for that. I have worked with people who, when you hit that mark, are doing 50 percent of your work for you. So, you know, it's a balance. When you walk into a mark and you're lit a certain way or something's happening so often you don't know what's behind you... And that's what's so strange about being a movie actor.” PeopleKnowsWayCertainActorsSidesWalksBehindsStrangeBalanceHappeningsPercentOppositesMarkCamerasProfoundLitBehind YouMovie Actors Author:Jake Gyllenhaal

“But nirvana is a radical transformation of how it feels to be alive: it feels as if everything were myself, or as if everything---including "my" thoughts and actions---were happening of itself. There are still efforts, choices, and decisions, but not the sense that "I make them"; they arise of themselves in relation to circumstances. This is therefore to feel life, not as an encounter between subject and object, but as a polarized field where the contest of opposites has become the play of opposites.” IfsFeelsStillsPlayActionChoicesDecisionEffortAliveSubjectsFieldsObjectsCircumstancesHappeningsOppositesRelationTransformationIncludingAriseRadicalEncountersContestsMy ThoughtsThoughts And ActionsChoices And Decisions Book:Psychotherapy East & West Source: Psychotherapy East & West
“The way I pictured it, all this grief would be like a winter night when you're standing outside. You'll warm up once you get used to the cold. Except after you've been out there for awhile, you feel the warmth draining out of you and you realize the opposite is happening; you're getting colder and colder, as the body heat you brought outside with you seeps out of your skin. Instead of getting used to it, you get weaker the longer you endure it.” WayFeelsBodyWould BeUsedNightRealizingGriefColdHappeningsStandingSkinsOppositesEndureWinterWarmHeatWarmthDrainingWinter NightBody Heat Author:Rob Sheffield
“I am resolutely opposed to all innovation, all change, but I am determined to understand what’s happening. Because I don’t choose just to sit and let the juggernaut roll over me. Many people seem to think that if you talk about something recent, you’re in favor of it. The exact opposite is true in my case. Anything I talk about is almost certainly something I’m resolutely against. And it seems to me the best way to oppose it is to understand it. And then you know where to turn off the buttons.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWaySeemsTurnsCasesHappeningsOppositesInnovationDeterminedFavorsBest WayButtonsTurn OffI Am DeterminedJuggernaut Author:Marshall McLuhan
