“As thou thyself art a component part of a social system, so let every act of thine be a component part of social life. Whatever act of thine that has no reference, either immediately or remotely, to a social end, this tears asunder thy life, and does not allow it to be one, and it is of the nature of a mutiny, just as when in a popular assembly a man acting by himself stands apart from the general agreement.” MenDoeArtEndsSocialActingTearsAgreementComponentsThyselfAssemblySocial LifeSocial SystemsMutiny Book:沉思錄:讀了一百年還要再讀一百年的不朽鉅著 Source: 沉思錄:讀了一百年還要再讀一百年的不朽鉅著

“I went to this massive co-ed school for the first time when I was 16. Everyone there had been together since elementary school, and I found it quite difficult, especially when I'd never stepped into a classroom with boys. So I started looking out in the community for a social outlet. I started getting involved in student films and community theater. Acting began as a hobby.” FirstsSchoolTogetherFilmFoundSocialDifficultCommunityActingBoysStudentsInvolvedFirst TimeTheaterMassiveClassroomHobbiesOutletsElementary School Author:Holland Roden

“The belief, not only of the socialist but of those so-called liberals who are diligently preparing the way for them is that by due skill an ill working humanity may be framed into well-working initiations. It is delusion. The defective natures of citizens will show themselves in bad acting of whatever social structure they are arranged into.

“I have always considered myself a fast learner. I try to retain and absorb as much information and knowledge about the [music] business as I can. I don't want to just sit back and have other people do the hard work for me. I try to be involved in every process of my career as possible. I run my own social media, record, and try to vocal produce myself as much as possible, write my own songs, style myself, and learn the business side. If I didn't do acting or music, I was going to school for business.

“So when Jesus directs us to pray, “Thy kingdom come,” he does not mean we should pray for it to come into existence. Rather, we pray for it to take over at all points in the personal, social, and political order where it is now excluded: “On earth as it is in heaven.” With this prayer we are invoking it, as in faith we are acting it, into the real world of our daily existence” WorldShouldMeanDoeRealEarthPoliticalOrderJesusHeavenSocialPrayerActingExistencePrayingKingdomsReal WorldExcludedKingdom Come Author:Dallas Willard

“When I first began acting, I assumed an intellectual responsibility attached to my profession, which I had accepted for a long time.

“I am a professional actor and I don't go about moralizing about what the character does. Otherwise, seriously, why be an actor? You're not making some kind of social statement. That's not what actors do. They may inadvertently do it, but it's because of the script, not the acting.” KindMayDoeCharacterActorsSocialActingScriptsStatementsMoralizing Author:Malcolm McDowell
“By looking at autistic kids, you can't tell when you're working with them who you're going to pull out, who is going to become verbal and who's not.
