individuality

When we learn to speak, we learn to translate.

I also often ask my guests about what they consider to be their invisible weaknesses and shortcomings. I do this because these are the characteristics that define us no less than our strengths. What we feel sets us apart from other people is often the thing that shapes us as individuals. This may be especially true of writers and actors, many of whom first started to develop their observational skills as a result of being sidelined from typical childhood or adolescent activities because of an infirmity or a feeling of not fitting in. Or so I__e come to believe from talking to so many writers and actors over the years.

From childhood's hour I have not beenAs others were - I have not seenAs others saw - I could not bringMy passions from a common spring -

The price of being a sheep is boredom. The price of being a wolf is loneliness. Choose one or the other with great care.

...those thoroughly incorporated within the inexorable logic of the market and its demands find that there is little time and space in which to explore emancipatory potentialities outside what is marketed as 'creative' adventure, leisure, and spectacle. Obliged to live as appendages of the market and of capital accumulation rather than as expressive beings, the realm of freedom shrinks before the awful logic and the hollow intensity of market involvements

I have been known to think outside of all rules. Even my own.

The authentic human has the might of compassion and the creative power to do any manner of good.

The advice to "kill your darlings" has been attributed to various authors across the various galaxies... and Mister Heist hated them all.Why teach young writers to edit out whatever it is they feel most passionate about?Better to kill everything in their writing they DON'T love as much.Until only the darlings remain.

The world is before you, and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

I was the walrus, but now I am John...and so my friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over.

No kind of social system can make you more happier and secure than your own money.

I don't beg for those things which can be earned.

You need a team for war, not for negotiation.

Few teams sometimes fails miserably because team members wish to work in the team but they want to be recognized individualy.

I believe in going with the flow. I don't believe in fighting against the flow. You ride on your river and you go with the tides and the flow. But it has to be your river, not someone else's. Everyone has their own river, and you don't need to swim,float,sail on their's, but you need to be in your own river and you need to go with it. And I don't believe in fighting the wind. You go and you fly with your wind. Let everyone else catch their own gusts of wind and let them fly with their own gusts of wind, and you go and you fly with yours.

Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.

We__e stars, you know. Different, distant, young and old, but we__e all made of the same stuff. We all shine just as bright as the next.
