“One of the things I find fascinating about God's creation is the way he seems to temper the negative environmental elements with corresponding positive ones. For instance, without the nearly ceaseless rains of the northwest, no incomparable green scenery would greet the eye from all directions. And the snow that snuggles atop Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helens would not exist if, at lower elevations, there were no rain. . . . God's creative style ensures that something wonderful will offset something less than wonderful. In everything God seems to be balanced.” IfsWaySeemsEyeCreativeWonderfulStyleCreationBalanceElementsRainNegativeGreenEnvironmentalSnowInstanceFascinatingTemperBalancedHoodSceneryElevationCorrespondingIncomparableGod's Creation Author:Marilyn Meberg
“From the very beginning, all of my films have divided the critics. Some have thought them wonderful, and others have found very little good to say. But subsequent critical opinion has always resulted in a very remarkable shift to the favorable. In one instance, the same critic who originally rapped the film has several years later put it on an all-time best list. But of course, the lasting and ultimately most important reputation of a film is not based on reviews, but on what, if anything, people say about it over the years, and on how much affection for it they have.” PeopleIfsYearsLittlesImportantFilmCoursesFoundOpinionWonderfulCriticsAffectionCriticalListsReputationInstanceAll TimeRemarkableWhat IfLastingReviewsDividedAll Time Best Author:Stanley Kubrick
“Let's have a merry journey, and shout about how light is good and dark is not. What we should do is not future ourselves so much. We should now ourselves. "Now thyself" is more important than "know thyself." Reason is what tells us to ignore the present and live in the future. So all we do is make plans. We think that somewhere there are going to be green pastures. It's crazy. Heaven is nothing but a grand, monumental instance of future. Listen, now is good. Now is wonderful.” ThinkingKnowsShouldImportantReasonLightHeavenDarkPlansWonderfulJourneyCrazyFutureGreenInstanceThyselfMerryKnow ThyselfPasturesGreen Pastures Author:Mel Brooks
