“Knapsack of the Metaphysicians.- Those who boast so mightily of the scientificality of their metaphysics should receive no answer; it is enough to pluck at the bundle which, with a certain degree of embarrassment, they keep concealed behind their back; if one succeeds in opening it, the products of that scientificality come to light, attended by their blushes: a dear little Lord God, a nice little immortality, perhaps a certain quantity of spiritualism, and in any event a whole tangled heap of 'wretched poor sinner' and Pharisee arrogance.” IfsShouldLittlesEnoughPhilosophyWholeLightCertainAnswersPoorBehindsLordNiceEventsProductsSucceedDegreesDearOpeningImmortalityArroganceSinnerQuantityMetaphysicsBoastWretchedEmbarrassmentConcealedTangledPluckBundlesSpiritualismLord GodPharisees Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Both as a filmmaker and as a fan I love the behind-the-scenes stuff, I like it even more than deleted scenes frankly.

“I don't begrudge anyone else for anything, but to me, I think the fans deserve to have a studio put money behind their product because when the fans put money into a project and it makes any sort of money, it goes back to the studio.

Many of us took the names of our female ancestors - bell hooks is my maternal great grandmother - to honor them and debunk the notion that we were these unique, exceptional women. We wanted to say, actually, we were the products of the women who'd gone before us.” PeopleKindPersonsIdeasMatterWantedMovingNamesBehindsGoneMovementProductsHonorLateUniqueFemaleNotionFeministGrandmotherAncestorBellsHookExceptionalMoving AwayFeminist MovementZenithGreat Grandmother Author:Bell Hooks
