I had a traditional interview based on a phone call from an agent. He says there's a show and they would like to see you and its called Dallas. With very little knowledge I go over to this meeting at Warner Brothers.
We read deeply for varied reasons most of them familiar: that we cannot know enough people profoundly enough that we need to know ourselves better that we require knowledge not just of self and others but of the way things are.
Others think it the responsibility of scientists to coerce the rest of society because they have the power that derives from special knowledge.
The real difference between a man's scientific judgments about himself and the judgment of others about him is he has added sources of knowledge.
It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word.
What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer's own weaknesses reflected back from others.
I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my powers and dominion.
The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first our own increase of knowledge secondly to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others.
I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my power and dominion.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength not a lack of knowledge but rather a lack of will.
If you have knowledge let others light their candles in it.
One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises.
The jealous are troublesome to others but a torment to themselves.
But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.
I think what he's - what he believes and he may be correct I don't know that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what's going on in Iraq that we haven't revealed to others.
It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.
A man has to learn that he cannot command things but that he can command himself that he cannot coerce the wills of others but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?
Imagination it turns out is a great deal like reporting in your own head. Here is a paradox of fiction-writing. You are crafting something from nothing which means in one sense that none of it is true. Yet in the writing and perhaps in the reading some of a character's actions or lines are truer than others.
It's through the small things that we develop our moral imagination so that we can understand the sufferings of others.
To put yourself in another's place requires real imagination but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to love among others happily.
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination nature is imagination itself.
I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery they might not like that book quite as much.
A growing number of young women who have the freedom to decide have decided that career can wait and the delicious early years of their children's lives can't.
