“Sociologists and historians have avoided looking for the family sources of wars and social violence. Whenever a group produces murderers, the early parental relationship must have been abusive and neglectful. Yet this elementary truth has not even begun to be considered in historical research; just stating that poor mothering lies behind wars seems blasphemous.” Has BeensWarSeemsLyingSocialPoorBehindsViolenceGroupsProduceSourceResearchHistoricalHistorianMurdererAvoidedParentalAbusiveMotheringSociologistsHistorical Research Author:Lloyd deMause
“Animals are murdered to produce meat; vegetables are torn up, peeled, and chopped; most of what we eat is treated with fire; and chewing is designed remorselessly to finish what killing and cooking began. People naturally prefer that none of this should happen to them. Behind every rule of table etiquette lurks the determination of each person present to be a diner, not a dish.” PeopleShouldPersonsHappensAnimalBehindsFireProduceEatingDeterminationTablesCookingKillingTreatedMannersMeatVegetablesDishesTornEtiquetteChewingDiners Book:The Rituals of Dinner: The Origins, Evolution, Eccentricities, and Meaning of Table Manners Source: The Rituals of Dinner: The Origins, Evolution, Eccentricities, and Meaning of Table Manners
“The whole story of the universe is implicit in any part of it. The meditative eye can look through any single object and see, as through a window, the entire cosmos. Make the smell of roast duck in an old kitchen diaphanous and you will have a glimpse of everything, from the spiral nebulae to Mozart's music and the stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi. The artistic problem is to produce diaphanousness in spots, selecting the spots so as to reveal only the most humanly significant of distant vistas behind the near familiar object.” LooksArtWholeStoriesProblemEyeArtistUniverseBehindsObjectsProducePerceptionWindowSmellSignificantFamiliarSpotsArtisticKitchenCosmosDucksGlimpseSpiralsImplicitVistasSt Francis Of Assisi Author:Aldous Huxley
“The effects of mescalin or LSD can be, in some respects, far more satisfying than those of alcohol. To begin with, they last longer; they also leave behind no hangover, and leave the mental faculties clear and unimpaired. They stimulate the faculties and produce the ideal ground for a peak experience.” LastsBehindsClearEffectsProduceIdealsAlcoholFacultySatisfyingHangoverLsdPeak Experiences Author:Colin Wilson
“When I'm in the studio, I write the music, I play the different instruments, I produce it, I arrange it, and it's a self-indulgent exercise. It's the way I make my music. And when I'm acting, I get to leave myself behind, which is a relief. I get to collaborate with a director; I respect the director's medium and all the actors and actresses. So at the end of the day, it's about a character and it's about a director's vision. It's a really good balance for being so intense and alone in my personal process of making music.” WayWritingDifferentEndsSelfPlayCharacterActorsProcessActingBehindsVisionProduceBalanceExerciseDirectorsInstrumentsStudiosActressesIntenseMediumsReliefThe End Of The DaySelf IndulgentActors And Actresses Author:Lenny Kravitz

“Actors can write and produce too. Then when I was working on Jason Bourne - having had that experience - instead of going back to my trailer and being separate from everyone else, I would sit behind the monitor and watch Paul Greengrass work and be much more included in the process.
