“Something new has taken place in the past five to eight years. Technologists are providing almost religious visions, and their ideas are resonating in some ways with the same idea of the Rapture.” WayYearsIdeasPastReligiousVisionTakenFiveEightSomething NewProvidingRaptureResonating Author:Eric Horvitz
“I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence. Intuition, suspicion, or confidence in new ventures; there is a strange strain within me when advantage is not taken of some situation, the immediacy of recognition of the rightness or wrongness of a mood, a response, a decision - they are so often valid that I am increasingly convinced that we have yet to grasp the reality of existence.” RealitySeemsPastFallDecisionExistenceSituationVisionTakenStrangeAdvantageResponseIntuitionConvincedMoodRecognitionLogicalSignificanceSuspicionVentureStrainSequenceMy PastPast LifeImmediacyRetrospectiveNew Ventures Author:Ansel Adams
“Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Don't ever underestimate the power of planning. You can't make your vision come to life unless you outline each goal-driven step at a time. And you can't reach your full potential unless you plan how to make the most of your purpose and passion. When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.” PeopleLooksPainPurposePassionCoursesGoalLeaderVisionStepsSuccessfulTakenPlansDrivenPlanningShipsCaptainsUnderestimateOutlinesSteersFull PotentialPurpose And Passion Author:John C.

“Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.” PeopleWayHas BeensTwoWarStatesRealityGovernmentReligionPoliticsSidesCommunityLeadershipSimpleVisionClassTakenClearViolenceGenerationsPolicyPureEthicsGainsAdvantageOrganizationVictimMajorityStrategyUnityKillingHuman RightsIraqTerrorismTerroristIdeologyBordersCivil WarTwo ThingsIslamicAlsTerritoryForeign PolicySyriaStrifeBoth SidesSlaughterAl QaedaIsilIslamic TerrorismTaken Advantage Author:Barack Obama

“I like working with directors much, because I want to be able to give myself completely to their vision. Otherwise I would only do what I could do, again and again.

“It would be very curious to record by means of photographs, not the stage of the picture, but its metamorphoses. Perhaps one would perceive the path taken by the mind in order to put its dreams into a concrete form. But what is really very curious is to observe that fundamentally the picture does not change, that despite appearances the initial vision remains almost intact.” MindMeanDoeDreamWould BeFormOrderVisionPathTakenRecordsStageRemainsPhotographAppearanceDespiteCuriousPerceiveConcreteInitialsMetamorphosis Author:Pablo Picasso
“Also, to get to work with serious filmmakers on this kind of a movie, has elevated these movies. We were so lucky, as actors, that the crew of directors that we've gotten to work with are totally really super high-end filmmakers. But, Bill Condon had a vision and it was so specific. He's really passionate. I think he's taken the story to another level.” ThinkingKindEndsStoriesActorsLevelsVisionTakenSeriousLuckyDirectorsBillsPassionateFilmmakerCrewSo Lucky Author:Elizabeth Reaser
“I'm such a jerk; it had never occurred to me that when we look at a photo from the front, the eyes reproduce exactly the position and the vision of the lens; it's these things that are taken for granted and it never occurs to anyone to think about them.” ThinkingLooksEyeVisionTakenFrontsPositionGrantedLensesJerkTaken For Granted Book:Hopscotch, Blow-Up, We Love Glenda So Much Source: Hopscotch, Blow-Up, We Love Glenda So Much
