💬 Mahatma Gandhi

"An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today."
“One of the problems with defending free speech is you often have to defend people that you find to be outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting.”
“web1, web2 etc, you can make the story come out any way you like, but RSS, blogging and podcasting were part of the Web 2 story and they are all about decentralization.”
“Mark Twain and I are in very much the same position. We have to put things in such a way as to make people, who would otherwise hang us, believe that we are joking.”
Endless Repetition or Infinite Variety?
If you want endless repetition (in your life), see a lot of different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with one.
What happens when you date is you run all your best moves and tell all your best stories — and in a way, that routine is a method for falling in love with yourself over and over.
You can’t do that with a longtime mate because he knows all that old material. With a long relationship, things die then are rekindled, and that shared process of rebirth deepens the love. It’s hard work, though, and a lot of people run at the first sign of trouble. You’re with this person, and suddenly you look like an asshole to them or they look like an asshole to you — it’s unpleasant, but if you can get through it you get closer and you learn a way of loving that’s different from the neurotic love enshrined in movies. It’s warmer and has more padding to it.

💬 They Who Said It
“The world is a complex, interconnected, finite, ecological–social–psychological–economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as if it were divisible, separable, simple, and infinite. Our persistent, intractable global problems arise directly from this mismatch.”
“I’ll have a better understanding of why in a year,” he said, “and an even better one in two, and an even greater one in five, and it’ll go from being, you know, a book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle.”
💬Jason Sudeikis
“The cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
💬 Federico Fellini
“Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.”
