“I think we've come to a kind of splinter period in poetry. These tiny little bright fragments of observation - and not produced under sufficient pressure - some of it's very skillful, but I don't think there's anywhere a discernible major poet in the process of emerging; or if he is, I ain't seen him.” IfsThinkingKindLittlesProcessPoetPeriodsMajorsPressureTinyObservationSufficientFragmentsEmergingSkillfulSplinters Author:Conrad Aiken
“The '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesArtInspirationLiteratureCreativityCreativePeriodsMusic IsUniqueMake SenseDesignerLiterature And Music Author:Carolina Herrera
“In my view, there was a long period in which analytical philosophy had little to say about ethics. I think their intellectual tools did not do well with it, and analytical philosophy was above all about revolutionizing the philosophical tool box. It was more or less assumed that the Truth about ethics was some form of utilitarianism (perhaps because some consequentialist calculus looked to them like a respectable tool). Kantian ethics was then interpreted as a particularly odious version of the False - "deontology" - and treated with contempt.” ThinkingWellsLittlesLongPhilosophyFormViewsPeriodsIntellectualEthicsToolsPhilosophicalBoxesTreatedVersionsContemptRespectableCalculusUtilitarianismTool Boxes Author:Allen W.

“I like [Count] Olaf's wardrobe, because the whole thing seems like it should be a period piece in many ways, and yet the date is non-specific.

“It's a fascinating culture [the South in the Civil War period] and so rife with comedic possibilities. And not in a way that...I have no intention of making fun of re-enactors.
