Process Quotes

• Reading, I had learned, was as creative a process as writing, sometimes more so.

After all, the reader is doing all the work - the writer might have died long ago.

• One of the most basic and pervasive social processes is the sorting and labeling of things, activities, and people... Sorting and labeling processes involve a trade-off of costs and benefits.

• One thing that's been a great, uplifting experience through all this is, since the first "Pirates" movie, the people who've gone to see the films, the audience members.

He killed many more people than Manson and was actually trying to kill thousands but wasn't careful enough in his process.
