“As the Nazi regime developed over the years, the whole structure of decision-making was changed. At first there were laws. Then there were decrees implementing laws. Then a law was made saying, ‘There shall be no laws.’ Then there were orders and directives that were written down, but still published in ministerial gazettes. Then there was government by announcement; orders appeared in newspapers. Then there were the quiet orders, the orders that were not published, that were within the bureaucracy, that were oral. And finally, there were no orders at all. Everybody knew what he had to do.” YearsFirstsMadeStillsWholeGovernmentLawOrderDecisionWrittenChangedQuietStructureNewspapersDecision MakingRegimesNaziBureaucracyDecreeAnnouncementsImplementing Author:Raul Hilberg

“It makes it easier, if you can't do an American accent. I don't know. It's different. I played a character in Never Let Me Go where the script for my character was very sparse, and I enjoyed it. With Never Let Me Go, I had a whole book written from my character's point of view, so I always knew where I was. But, with Ryan [Gosling], it was just easy. He's such a brilliant actor and he is so prepared. He doesn't have to warm himself up to be in a scene. He's just in it.

“The surrealist thinks he has outstripped the whole of literary history when he has written (here a word that there is no need to write) where others have written "jasmines, swans and fauns." But what he has really done has been simply to bring to light another form of rhetoric which hitherto lay hidden in the latrines.” ThinkingNeedsWritingHas BeensDoneWholeLightFormWrittenLaysRhetoricSwansJasmineSurrealistFauns Book:the Revolt of the Masses Source: the Revolt of the Masses
“An illustrator in my own mind - and this is not a truth of any kind - is someone who so falls in love with writing that he wishes he had written it, and the closest he can get to is illustrating it. And the next thing you learn, you have to find something unique in this book, which perhaps even the author was not entirely aware of. And that's what you hold on to, and that's what you add to the pictures: a whole Other Story that you believe in, that you think is there.” ThinkingWritingMindBelieveKindBookWholeStoriesFallNextWishMy OwnWrittenUniqueAddFalling In LoveClosestIllustratorsIllustrating Author:Maurice Sendak
“Kafka could never have written as he did had he lived in a house.

“The whole movie thing has never been a source of great pride for me, in that Burt Reynolds, who starred in the picture, butchered the original script I had written for the late Steve McQueen, and the result, while a massive moneymaker, was lashed by the critics. But like the old joke about Pierre the Bridge Builder, The Cannonball Run is indelibly inscribed on my so-called career portfolio, and few conversations with strangers pass without the subject of the picture arising.” WholeRunningResultsCareersWrittenSubjectsSourcePrideConversationLateJokesOriginalsCriticsScriptsStrangerBridgesMassiveBuilderPortfoliosMcqueenOld JokesCannonballs Author:Brock Yates
“Whole great chunks of written history are of little value to the psychohistorian, while other vast areas which have been much neglected by historians - childhood history, content analysis of historical imagery, and so on - suddenly expand from the periphery to the center of the psychohistorian's conceptual world, simply because his or her own new questions require material nowhere to be found in history books.” WorldLittlesHas BeensBookWholeValuesFoundWrittenChildhoodMaterialsAreasHistoricalAnalysisHistorianImageryNeglectedChunksHistory BooksPeripheryWritten History Author:Lloyd deMause
“No one statement wrested from its context is a sufficient warrant for actions that plainly controvert other commands.
