“Danger is a good teacher, and makes apt scholars. So are disgrace, defeat, exposure to immediate scorn and laughter. There is no opportunity in such cases for self-delusion, no idling time away, no being off your guard (or you must take the consequences) - neither is there any room for humour or caprice or prejudice.” SelfOpportunityRoomsCasesTeacherDangerHumourLaughterConsequencePrejudiceDefeatDelusionScholarExposureScornDisgraceGood TeacherCapriceSelf DelusionTime Away Book:On the Pleasure of Hating Source: On the Pleasure of Hating

“In a Western or a thriller there is often room for reflection upon the coercive necessities; even, occasionally, some attempt to pose other possibilities.

“Realistically, there is a danger, of course, when you're going into someone's living room as the same guy every week. But I don't fear it because, I mean, there's really nothing I can do about it. I can try to combat it through the work, and maybe make sure I don't do Sheldon 2.0 in any other projects. But it's just really hard for me to find any negative side effects from this experience.” TryingMeanI CanHardGuyCoursesSidesCan DoRoomsWeekEffectsDangerProjectsNegativeCombatLiving RoomSide Effects Author:Jim Parsons
