“The Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.” IfsMindRealWisdomBodyFormCausesUnderstandingSpaceBreakEffectsOriginalsBonesYour BodyCharacteristicsAtomsNihilist Book:The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma Source: The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma
“As the original 'Mary Poppins' budget of five million dollars continued to grow, I never saw a sad face around the entire Studio. And this made me nervous. I knew the picture would have to gross 10 million dollars for us to break even. But still there was no negative head-shaking. No prophets of doom. Even Roy was happy. He didn't even ask me to show the unfinished picture to a banker. The horrible thought struck me - suppose the staff had finally conceded that I knew what I was doing.” MadeStillsShowsFacesAsksGrowsBreakMillionsFiveSawsNegativeOriginalsDollarsStudiosHorribleNervousAsk MeBudgetsProphetMaryStaffGrossDoomShakingBankersMillion DollarsUnfinishedConcededBreak EvenSad Face Author:Walt Disney
“There is a crucial distinction to be made between innovation and originality. The second, unlike the first, can never break with what preceded it: to be original, an artist must also belong to the tradition from which he departs. To put it another way, he must violate the expectations of his audience, but he must also, in countless ways, uphold and endorse them.” WayFirstsMadeArtistBreakAudienceExpectationsTraditionInnovationOriginalsDistinctionCrucialOriginalityAnother Way Author:Roger Scruton

“[Photography] ties back into this feeling of wanting to watch things fall and the moment before they break. Fireworks are that way for me - this lovely thing that blows up and is gone.

“Over the decades, you got various companies involved in making escalators and you've got Metro varying between internal repair crews and contractors. They're dealing with old equipment, which of course is prone to break down, and the repair crews don't even know what's busted or who made the busted parts till they tear the things open. Then sometimes they have to go back to the shop and manufacture parts, because the original maker has gone out of business.” KnowsMadeSometimesCoursesCompanyBreakGoneTearsInvolvedOriginalsDown AndVariousDecadesShopsInternalsMakersCrewEquipmentBreaking DownBustedContractorMetroEscalators Author:Robert James Thomson
“The first scene I shot on The Originals was the one with Phoebe, Charles (Michael Davis), and Andy Lees when we are plotting our plan and surveying the map and plotting our grand "break in."

They were all very kind and helpful and I felt pretty at home after a few takes.” FirstsKindHomeLightAbleFeltBitsBreakNicePlansSceneComfortableShotsOriginalsWarmHelpfulMapsCrew Author:Paul Wesley
“We can reorient science - for example, a kind of medicine much more directed toward the enormous number of women's health problems which are neglected now. But the original givens of this science are the same for men and for women.
