“When you're working opposite Halle Berry, you're going to get a lot. So you have to give a lot. That said, what I've found striking in the past few days is that people are aware of a good chemistry that exists between us on screen. If that's so, it's due to the fact that she and I have a real liking for each other in real life and a real mutual respect.” PeopleIfsGivingSaidRealFactsPastFoundOppositesDuesScreensReal LifeMutualChemistryBerriesMutual Respect Author:Benjamin Bratt
“It is also naïve empiricism to provide, in support of some argument, series of eloquent confirmatory quotes by dead authorities. By searching, you can always find someone who made a well-sounding statement that confirms your point of view and, on every topic, it is possible to find another dead thinker who said the exact opposite.” WellsMadeSaidViewsSupportAuthorityArgumentOppositesSeriesPoint Of ViewStatementsThinkerTopicsEloquentEmpiricism Book:The Black Swan: Second Edition: The Impact of the Highly ImprobableFragility Source: The Black Swan: Second Edition: The Impact of the Highly ImprobableFragility

There is no compensation in conformity.” WayPersonsSaidFallNextIndividualSportsLinesSawsOppositesAdmireCourageousCowardConformityNext TimeCompensationBe CourageousNightingales Author:Bob Proctor
“Now the code of life of the High Middle Ages said something entirely opposite to this: that it was precisely lack of leisure, an inability to be at leisure, that went together with idleness; that the restlessness of work-for-work's sake arose from nothing other than idleness. There is a curious connection in the fact that the restlessness of a self-destructive work-fanatacism should take its rise from the absence of a will to accomplish something.” ShouldSaidSelfFactsAgeTogetherMiddleConnectionsOppositesSakeAccomplishAbsenceCuriousCodeDestructiveLeisureInabilityIdlenessMiddle AgesRestlessnessSelf Destructive Author:Josef Pieper
