We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves or we know where we can find information upon it.
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so knowledge remains better than ignorance.
It is not government's job to mandate responsibility on our behalf. We have the intelligence and good sense to make wise consumption choices for ourselves and our children. It is up to us to do what is best for our health and our children's health.
In Spain we should have enough intelligence enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.
But once you are in that field emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job.
There are unknown forces in nature when we give ourselves wholly to her without reserve she lends them to us she shows us these forms which our watching eyes do not see which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.
A human being has so many skins inside covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things but we don't know ourselves! Why thirty or forty skins or hides as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
The question is how to bring a work of imagination out of one language that was just as taken-for-granted by the persons who used it as our language is by ourselves. Nothing strange about it.
It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.
Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
We are really living the American dream to be a successful brand in the States and in Europe and to steep ourselves in our heritage. But we do it with a sense of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously in fashion.
Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship we are two very different people but we did share a sense of humor we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.
I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically we get three mandates: to love God to love each other and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.
I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.
We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.
I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea.
Crafts make us feel rooted give us a sense of belonging and connect us with our history. Our ancestors used to create these crafts out of necessity and now we do them for fun to make money and to express ourselves.
When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.
Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
We don't come to Canada for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves.
I know that it isn't just violence against women it's how do we support ourselves and our families how do we deal with health care for ourselves and our families? It's a bigger picture.
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
