“I felt there needed to be a show for teenagers that didn't make them feel judged. 'Skins' never tried to preach. It allowed young people to make their own decisions about what to do and whether it was right or wrong. Young people really respond to that, and that's what sets 'Skins' apart.” PeopleFeelsShowsYoungFeltDecisionNeededSkinsTeenagerJudged Author:Kaya Scodelario
“Let us make an arbitrary decision (by a show of hands if necessary) to define the base of every stratigraphical unit in a selected section. This may be called the "Principle of the Golden Spike."

“Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.” PeopleIfsMenWantShouldMeanEndsShowsValuesDecisionEconomicsTasksUltimateAimChosenJudgementDefiniteScopeTheoreticalAttainmentValuation Book:Human Action Source: Human Action

I wanted people to be there to see me.” PeopleIfsFirstsLittlesPersonsMadeMatterShowsWantedDecisionMinutesMissingNo Matter WhatSevenHeadlinesMissing A Person Author:Al Yankovic
