“Creative people often feel highs of joy and lows of sorrow that others may never experience, and perhaps could not even handle if they did. Little wonder many outside the creative world mistake (or dismiss) eccentric responses of the spirit as weakness or mental illness. But in the end, these dismissive souls will never know what it is to be moved by tears by the beauty of rose or brought to joy by sunlight filtering through the leaves of spring or autumn. The creative walk in glades invisible to those outside their realms.” PeopleIfsKnowsWorldFeelsMayLittlesIdeasSoulEndsJoySpiritWalksMistakeWonderCreativityCreativeTearsSorrowSpringLowsWeaknessInnovationMovedRoseResponseIllnessInvisibleHandleMental IllnessRealmsAutumnSunlightCreative PeopleEccentric Author:Duncan Long

“Even today, some opt for the comforts of mystification, preferring to believe that the wonders of the ancient world were built by Atlanteans, gods, or space travelers, instead of by thousands toiling in the sun. Such thinking robs our forerunners of their due, and us of their experience. Because then one can believe whatever one likes about the past - without having to confront the bones, potsherds, and inscriptions which tell us that people all over the world, time and again, have made similar advances and mistakes.” PeopleThinkingWorldBelieveMadeTodayPastSpaceMistakeWonderSunComfortBuiltAncientBonesDuesLikesTravelerSpace TravelInscriptionsToilingAncient WorldForerunners Book:An Illustrated Short History of Progress Source: An Illustrated Short History of Progress
“I seem to wonder if we can reach some kind of new destination with cinema, or touch upon human existence in a different way to what cinema usually does in its very schematic and sometimes very controlled, plot-oriented ways of thinking.
