“Indeed, all things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing. A profile is never motionless before our eyes, but it constantly appears and disappears. On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina, moving objects constantly multiply themselves; their form changes like rapid vibrations, in their mad career. Thus a running horse has not four legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular.” EyeRunningMovingFormCareersFourMovementObjectsAll ThingsAccountsHorseTwentiesMadLegsDisappearRapidsVibrationsProfile Author:Giacomo Balla
“A lot of college graduates approach me about becoming screenwriters. I tell them, 'Do not become a screenwriter, become a journalist,' because journalists go into worlds that are not their own. Kids who go to Hollywood write coming-of-age stories for their first scripts, about what happened to them when they were sixteen. Then they write the summer camp script. At the age of twenty-three they haven't produced anything, and that's the end of the career.” WorldWritingFirstsEndsStoriesKidsAgeThreeCareersHappenedHavensCollegeBecomingApproachSummerHollywoodTwentiesScriptsJournalistComing Of AgeCampsGraduatesSixteenScreenwritersCollege GraduatesSummer Camp Author:Nora Ephron

I look back and think, oh man, well I'd have been well off monetarily wise, but artistic wise I don't know.

“When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics.” WritingYearsHas BeensBookFactsShowsDreamWould BeChristianLawScienceMy OwnCareersAtheismSpecialOne DayYears AgoLogicScientistClaimsTwentiesAtheistConvincedPhysicsTheologyConclusionBranchesWriting A BookStraightforwardTheismDeductionsLaws Of PhysicsIf There Is A GodInexorableWildest DreamsScience PhysicsGod And ScienceChristian TheologyScience GodChristian ScienceScience Books Author:Frank J.
