“How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! how short his time! and consequently how poor will his products be, compared with those accumulated by nature during whole geological periods. Can we wonder, then, that nature's productions should be far 'truer' in character than man's productions; that they should be infinitely better adapted to the most complex conditions of life, and should plainly bear the stamp of far higher workmanship?” MenShouldWholeCharacterWishPoorEffortWonderConditionsProductsBearsHigherPeriodsComplexesEnvironmentalProductionsStampsFleetingAdaptedWorkmanship Book:The origin of species (low cost).

“The eager or dutiful persons who subject themselves to these tidal waves of the classics and the moderns find everything wonderful in an absent-minded way. The wonder washes over them rather than into them, and one of its effects is to make anything shocking or odd suddenly interesting enough to gain a month's celebrity. And so another by-product of our come-one, come-all policy is the tendency to reward cleverness, not art, and to put one more hurdle in the path of the truly original artist.” WayPersonsArtEnoughArtistInterestingWonderPathWonderfulSubjectsEffectsPolicyProductsMonthsGainsOriginalsRewardsWaveTendenciesOddShockingAbsentClevernessHurdleTidal WavesAbsent Minded Author:Jacques Barzun

“Surely knowledge of the natural world, knowledge of the human condition, knowledge of the nature and dynamics of society, knowledge of the past so that one may use it in experiencing the present and aspiring to the future--all of these, it would seem reasonable to suppose, are essential to an educated man. To these must be added another--knowledge of the products of our artistic heritage that mark the history of our esthetic wonder and delight.” MenWorldHumansMayUseSeemsPastNaturalEducationWonderConditionsProductsEssentialsMarkDelightEducatedArtisticReasonableHeritageHuman ConditionNatural WorldDynamicsEducated ManKnowledge Of The Past Book:On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand Source: On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand

“Now the cigarette companies claim that they don't do that [ pay to have their product advertised in movies ] anymore, although it certainly makes you wonder a bit when an independent production like "In The Bedroom", you know, seems to focus constantly on Marlboros and almost it turns into a Marlboro ad, whether there was any money exchanged.” KnowsSeemsTurnsBitsPayCompanyWonderFocusProductsClaimsIndependentProductionsAdsCigaretteBedroom Author:Joe Eszterhas
“It's true that the young who now flock to script writing, or producing and directing, to fulfill the demands of these new devices would, in an earlier period, have been submitting to magazines and working on their first novels. But even in the midst of all these "digital products," the wonder of it is that there are still so many young writers who continue to believe in the venerable print novel as the corridor to fame and fortune.” WritingFirstsBelieveHas BeensStillsYoungWonderNovelProductsPeriodsFameDemandFortuneScriptsMagazinesDigitalMidstDevicesPrintFlocksCorridorsYoung Writers Author:Cynthia Ozick
