While Quotes

One night I had an idea while I was at the movies: to photograph the film itself. I tried to imagine photographing an entire feature film with my camera. I could already picture the projection screen making itself visible as a white rectangle. In my imagination, this would appear as a glowing, white rectangle; it would come forward from the projection surface and illuminate the entire theater. This idea struck me as being very interesting, mysterious, and even religious Picture Quote #1

If you’ve got the comedy eye, you can look at any situation and see the humor in it while others don’t Picture Quote #1

Society is afraid of alonedom, like lonely hearts are wasting away in basements, like people must have problems if, after a while, nobody is dating them. But lonely is a freedom that breaths easy and weightless and lonely is healing if you make it Picture Quote #1

I always try to attack. While I’m on the offensive, my opponent can think of nothing but defending Picture Quote #1

I came to understand the value of education, not just to enable me to make a good living, but to enable me to make a worthwhile life Picture Quote #1

The second time I took acid, I watched myself in the mirror for nine hours. What I realized, when I stared, was that my face looked exactly the same when I cried as when I laughed. After awhile I couldn’t tell which I was doing. Relief was just pain inside out Picture Quote #1

It’s not a question of whether you will hurt, or of how much you will hurt; it’s a question of what you will do, and how well you will do it, while pain has her wanton way with you Picture Quote #1

Personal perception of perfection is like that. You see what you want to see. After awhile you just see what you need to Picture Quote #1

I enjoy shooting. Around where I live, it’s something you do for entertainment once in a while, you go out and shoot targets Picture Quote #1

I need someone to fold the sheet, someone to take the other end of the sheet and walk towards me and fold once, then step back, fold and walk towards me again.We all need someone to fold the sheet.Someone to hitch on the coat at the neck.Someone to put on the kettle. Someone to dry up while I wash Picture Quote #1

I try and make all my songs sound different from each other while doing it in a way that’s still me. It’s a tricky thing to do Picture Quote #1

Scientific theories never dictate human values, but they can often cast new light on ethical issues. From a sexual selection viewpoint, moral philosophy and political theory have mostly been attempts to shift male human sexual competitiveness from physical violence to the peaceful accumulation of wealth and status. The rights to life, liberty, and property are cultural inventions that function, in part, to keep males from killing and stealing from one another while they compete to attract sexual partners Picture Quote #1

If an organised body is not in the situation and circumstances best adapted to its sustenance and propagation, then, in conceiving an indefinite variety among the individuals of that species, we must be assured, that, on the one hand, those which depart most from the best adapted constitution, will be most liable to perish, while, on the other hand, those organised bodies, which most approach to the best constitution for the present circumstances, will be best adapted to continue, in preserving themselves and multiplying the individuals of their race Picture Quote #1

Even when I was a child, I always wanted to be older. I realised just in time that it’s a mistake and to enjoy my youth while I had it Picture Quote #1

The reason I really started running was for meditative purposes. I would pick some problem to have in my head while running Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite Picture Quote #1

The universe is like a giant bank vault lock, where the tumblers are constantly moving and once in a while the tumblers line up and you have to listen for the click. So you must be prepared in that moment to step through the door Picture Quote #1

If, while I hear the wild shriek of the slave mother robbed of her little ones, I do not open my mouth, am I not guilty? Picture Quote #1

Women have traditionally deferred to the judgment of men although often while intimating a sensibility of their own which is at variance with that judgment Picture Quote #1

While games are fun to play, children should grow up not just being the consumers of technology but also the creators of technology Picture Quote #1

The negative effects of combat were nightmares, and I’d get jumpy around certain noises and stuff, but you’d have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life’s filled with trauma. You don’t need to go to war to find it it’s going to find you. We all deal with it, and the effects go away after awhile. At least they did for me Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the person that excites you most isn’t necessarily going to make the best husband or wife. It takes a lot to see past the glamor and glitter when you’re looking to get married and look for someone who’s going to be a loving companion that will stand by your side no matter what and better you while also seeking to be bettered by you Picture Quote #1

The best way to change it is to do it, right? And then after a while you become it, and it’s easy Picture Quote #1

Finding a programmer to work with if you don’t already know one will be a challenge. Merely judging if a programmer is exceptional vs. competent will be very hard if you are not one yourself. When you do find someone, work together informally for a while to test your compatibility Picture Quote #1

And while some healing does happen, it isn’t a healing of redemption or epiphany. It’s more like the slow absorption of a bruise Picture Quote #1

It’s a wonderful thing to have a companion like that who just wants to sit by you while you work Picture Quote #1

I never remain passive in the process of reading: while I read I am engaged in a constant creative activity, which leads me to remember not so much the actual matter of the book as the thoughts evoked in my mind by it, directly or indirectly Picture Quote #1

It might take us a lifetime to find out what it is we need to say. Most of us fall into where our feelings are headed while we’re quite young. But the beauty of all this uncertainty would be that in the process of exhausting all the possibilities, we might actually stumble unconsciously into the recognition of something that’s useful to us, that speaks to a deep need within ourselves. At the same time, I like to think that in order for any of us to really do anything new, we can’t know exactly what it is we are doing Picture Quote #1

Doubt is nothing but a trivial agitation on the surface of the soul, while deep down there is a calm certainty Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not what comes from reading great books. When it comes to understanding life, experiential learning is the only worthwhile kind, everything else is hearsay Picture Quote #1
