“You read reviews by top reviewers of films that not only had remarkably interesting scores, but films whose effectiveness was absolutely enhanced, and frequently created by the music, yet the reviewers seem unaware that their emotions and their nervous reactions to the films have been affected by the scoring. This is a serious flaw. Any film reviewer owes it to himself, and the public, to take every element of the film into account.” Has BeensSeemsFilmInterestingEmotionSeriousElementsAccountsReactionsNervousScoreFlawsAffectedReviewsEffectivenessReviewers Author:Jerry Goldsmith

But without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. It is therefore short-sighted to treat fantasy, on account of its risky or unacceptable nature, as a thing of little worth.” ChildrenLittlesPlayImaginationPrinciplesFantasyCreativeSeriousBirthTreatsAccountsDebtCharacteristicsInconsistentCreative WorkMemories Dreams ReflectionsShort SightedSerious Work Book:Psychological Types Source: Psychological Types

“After reading ... accounts ... of minor accidents of light, it is little wonder that the average man would far rather watch someone else fly and read of the narrow escapes from death when some pilot has had a forced landing or a blowout, than to ride himself. Even in the postwar days of now obsolete equipment, nearly all of the serious accidents were caused by inexperienced pilots who where then allowed to fly or attempt to fly-without license or restrictions about anything they could coax into the air.” MenLittlesLightReadingWonderWatchesAirSeriousAccountsSafetyAverageAccidentsAviationPilotsMinorsEquipmentLicenseRestrictionObsoleteLandingAverage ManBlowouts Author:Charles Lindbergh
