spiritual men civilization
Civilization is the sum total of all those activities that allow men to transcend mere biological existence and reach for a richer mental, aesthetic, material, and spiritual life.
dream nightmare results
Where hopes are unrealistic, fears often become exaggerated; where dreams alone are blueprints, nightmares result.
compassion attention may
Blanket compassion will shift the distribution decisively towards the manipulative end of the spectrum, and may paradoxically decrease the compassion with which the genuinely despairing are treated: for they are apt to get lost in the great mass of pseudo-distress and manipulation, and often their conduct draws less attention precisely because it is less attention-seeking.
children school typical
Children in school are not students, they are pupils. It is typical of certain kinds of politicians that they should regard children as adults, the better subsequently, and consequently, to regard adults as children.
people generosity mind
It is easy to be lenient at other people's expense, and call it generosity of mind.
thinking people fiction
We have people being a little uncomfortable in their life on Earth with finances and so on, so Science Fantasy or Science Fiction allows people to think that there are possibilities beyond the gravity of our planet.
thinking mad max
I quite like post-apocalyptic films, things like 'Mad Max' for instance, because they are so full on and there is something quite cleansing about the post-apocalyptic because you can see where we all think we're heading.
hands years orchestra
Over the years, I've loved being on stage with an orchestra, waving my hands around.
film wells very-cool
On a film set everyone is very cool. Well, blase really.
disappointment reality indulge-in
Optimism is the parent of despair, while pessimism allows the mind to accustom itself to the inevitable disappointments of human existence by degrees, just as some drugs induce a state of tolerance. Pessimists, moreover, have the better sense of humour, for they have a livelier apprehension of pretension and absurdity. In a meritocracy, furthermore, those who fail must either indulge in elaborate mental contortions to disguise reality from themselves or sink into a deep melancholy.
suffering made star-wars-movie
We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
views overcoming obstacles
In the modern view, unbridled personal freedom is the only good to be pursued; any obstacle to it is a problem to be overcome.
ideas triumph fantasy
Mere absurdity has never prevented the triumph of bad ideas, if they accord with easily aroused fantasies of an existence freed of human limitations.
grease books-and-movies philosopher
Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease.
