“Nothing that is not a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency, especially when it regards religion or party. In either of these cases, though a man perhaps does but his duty in changing his side, he not only makes himself hated by those he left, but is seldom heartily esteemed by those he comes over to.” MenWorldLittlesDoeRealEyeLeftSidesPartyCasesCrimeDutyRegardHatedConsistencyInconsistency Book:The spectator Source: The spectator
“Those who are successfully to lead their fellow-men, should have once possessed the nobler feelings. We have all known individuals whose magnanimity was not likely to be troublesome on any occasion; but then they betrayed their own interests by unwisely omitting the consideration, that such feelings might exist in the breasts of those whom they had to guide and govern: for they themselves cannot even remember the time when in their eyes justice appeared preferable to expediency, the happiness of others to self-interest, or the welfare of a State to the advancement of a party.” MenShouldSelfStatesFeelingsMightEyeRememberIndividualInterestLeadershipJusticePartyKnownShould HaveFellowsGuidesOccasionsWelfareBreastsConsiderationPossessedBetrayedFellow ManAdvancementSelf InterestTroublesomeExpediencyMagnanimityOmitting Book:Thoughts in the Cloister and the Crowd Source: Thoughts in the Cloister and the Crowd

“Novels are political not because writers carry party cards -- some do, I do not -- but because good fiction is about identifying with and understanding people who are not necessarily like us. By nature all good novels are political because identifying with the other is political. At the heart of the 'art of the novel' lies the human capacity to see the world through others' eyes. Compassion is the greatest strength of the novelist.” PeopleWorldHumansHeartArtEyePoliticalLyingUnderstandingPartyFictionCompassionNovelCapacityCardsNovelistsIdentifyingHuman Capacity Author:Orhan Pamuk
“Our opposition will never understand the Democratic Party. Our Party is--to the unpracticed eyes of the old Republican Tories--a mysterious contraption that usually seems to be moving in a thousand directions. What they don't know is what hurts them. For all that movement in the Democratic Party is caused by the internal combustion of creative ferment, of ideas, of people vigorously committed to the proposition that change and social progress are not only to be desired; they are necessities of twentieth-century America.” PeopleKnowsIdeasSeemsEyeAmericaMovingSocialHurtPartyCreativeProgressCenturyMovementRepublicanThousandDemocraticCommittedMysteriousOppositionInternalsPropositionsTwentieth CenturyDemocratic PartyMoving InSocial ProgressCombustion Author:Hubert H.

“Leading up to a live event you need to do your homework and go to bed early. Sometimes it's very tempting to go out with everybody else, They're all going to a party or going out for a nice meal and you think 'oh well I'd like to go', but sometimes you think 'no, if I'm going to be sitting in front of a camera under a light in everybody's home tomorrow I don't want big bags under my eyes and not really know what I'm talking about'.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsWellsSometimesHomeBigsLightEyePartyTalkingNiceFrontsEventsTomorrowBedSittingCamerasMealsBagsGoing OutHomeworkTemptingOh Well Author:Jill Douglas

“We were in production on a movie called All the Real Girls, which filmed in the Fall of 2001, and we really discovered who Danny McBride was, as an actor. When I say we, I mean me and a crew and a small audience that would hit the art house. He'd never acted before, and it was a really refreshing, eye-opening experience to watch him unleash, in front of the camera, all this comedic potential that we knew he had, as a human being and as the guy doing keg-stands at the party.” HumansMeanArtRealEyeGuyFallGirlActorsHouseHuman BeingsPartyWatchesAudienceFrontsCamerasProductionsOpeningCrewRefreshingComedicEye OpeningKegsReal Girl Author:David Gordon Green
