Thinking Quotes
-
If, then, there must be something eternal, let us see what sort of Being it must be. And to that it is very obvious to Reason, that it must necessarily be a cogitative Being.

Nothing is a conscious choice as an actor at the begining stage. There's so little that's a conscious choice even now.

You never know what might come out of it, and if you can make it, make it to the meeting.

Domesticity is the enemy of art. I don't know if that's true. You can write good happy songs. So, I don't think it's necessarily happiness. But I think self-satisfaction is maybe the enemy.
