There is not to be found in all history any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men of such unquestioned good sense education and learning as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.

I'm not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself - then they get to say 'See you did it yourself.'

The purpose of Compulsory Education is to deprive the common people of their commonsense.

Common sense is in spite of not as the result of education.

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.

To become truly immortal a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

It is all nonsense to be sure and so much the greater nonsense inasmuch as the true interpretation of many dreams - not by any means of all dreams - moves it may be said in the opposite direction to the method of psycho-analysis.

I had dreams but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.

One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there's a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it - if that makes any sort of sense.

I was not born in a home where there were stereotypes. So that was very useful because it gave me the sense of possibilities of flying if I may say of making my hopes and dreams a reality.

We have lost that which has made us great over the generations and that is the sense of individual and personal responsibility that we can come up we can pursue our dreams and our aspirations and we won't be blocked by government regulation by the inability to get a loan as a small business to make our dreams come true.

Our dreams drench us in senses and senses steps us again in dreams.

Not all lucid dreams are useful but they all have a sense of wonder about them. If you must sleep through a third of your life why should you sleep through your dreams too?

Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little and that true reality is only in dreams.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

I cook croquetas and I eat jamon. I keep my diet 100% Mediterranean and drink my Rioja. In that sense I have a piece of Spain in West Hollywood.

The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.

My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.

I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.

When I design and wonder what the point is I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So in that sense fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

The Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes.

Any film which views the darker side of life which is death with a sense of humor is very much to my taste.

I was never afraid of failure after that because I think coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years the actual experience of course fades but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?
