“The challenge in any musical is unifying all the moving parts of it, in particular a movie musical because now you're adding the camera and you're adding the idea of adaptation. So the challenge is to stay as true as you can to the material that you love and yet not be afraid to step outside of it and introduce elements into it that make it exist in a satisfying, exciting way cinematically.” WayIdeasMovingChallengesStepsParticularMaterialsElementsExcitingCamerasMusicalSatisfyingIntroducingAdaptationUnifyingMoving Parts Author:Marc E.

“If I ask you who is the most famous scientist who ever lived, or the greatest scientist who ever lived you'll say either Einstein or Newton or something like that because their claims were supposed to apply universally. But the claim of somebody who is studying a particular feature of the evolutionary process like whether it's very fast or very slow, or occurs in steps and so on, that's not a universal claim, that's a rather specialised claim and so you can't claim to great fame and great success.” IfsAsksProcessStepsStudyParticularFameScientistUniversalClaimsFeaturesNewtonGreat Success Author:Richard Lewontin

“My history of the Jesuits is not elegantly written, but is supported by unquestionable authorities, is very particular and very horrible.

“Because, we assume, these days, you just get in a car, you turn the key, and woosh, you're up the road. Or even now, dare I say, you don't turn a key; you get in a car and you're up the road. And yet with this particular car, it was a five-step process to start it.

“Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error in judgment. When a bunch of people begin to do it, it is a social error, a life-style. In this particular life-style the motto is "Be happy now because tomorrow you are dying," but the dying begins almost at once, and the happiness is a memory.” PeopleMovingSocialMemoriesDecisionStepsDyingCarStyleFrontsParticularTomorrowDrugDiseaseJudgmentErrorsBunchMottoMisuseLife Style Book:A Scanner Darkly Source: A Scanner Darkly
