art trying three
Henry James proposed asking of art three modest and appropriate questions: What is the artist trying to do? Does he do it? Was it worth doing?
careers trying might
I have asked students at the beginning of their careers, what things of that sort might haunt them – what things they must photograph, things they have to try to shoot even before they master the intricacies of making dye transfer prints.
artist trying records
Part of the difficulty in trying to be both an artist and a businessperson is this: You make a picture because you have seen something beyond price; then you are to turn and assign to your record of it a cash value. If the selling is not necessarily a contradiction of the truth in the picture, it is so close to being a contradiction—and the truth is always in shades of gray-that you are worn down by the threat.
silence trying problem
It's in the silence that your problems just dissolve. Try it. It really works.
lonely trying photographer
I've been so lonely trying to become a photographer. If I'd known that before, I don't know if I had the courage to do it again. You get to a point where you feel that you have something that is your own. And if you don't find an audience for it, you are going to burst.
advocating drink evidence ready
There's no evidence not to drink in moderation, but we are not ready to be advocating this either.
delay great since site
While the delay has been aggravating, it's great to get the site that we have wanted since the beginning.
dealing few hoped maybe relatively
We hoped that maybe we were dealing with something that was relatively short-lived over a few years in a child's life.
kid wish
I wish every kid would take the SAT,
good history people remembered took
The good people in history are never remembered. The people that do get remembered are the ones who took all the credit.
hospital local stroke
That local hospital isn't a stroke center, but we have one here, and we have a telemedicine connection.
break care close destined diplomacy extinct global happens harmonize humans modern outer possibilities promote reaches
We, humans are destined to go extinct or come close to diminishing. We break those who care about ideals, and promote the destruction of modern society. We harmonize domination, and scrutinize diplomacy and peace. In the end, we don't care about the outer reaches and global possibilities of happiness, we just care about what happens to ourselves.
increasing itself kids means
What's really increasing more than anything is that we're getting more kids to take the SAT. That in and of itself means more kids are considering post-secondary education, which is tremendous. That's what they need to do.
friendship point
There is no point in international friendship when the world doesn't care.
