Directions Quotes
-
The material world constrain us, often with gret beneficence, to see each person and thing in its time and place, its historical context. But mental life doesn't so constrain us. It is porous, open to air and light, swings forward while swaying back, scatters its stripes in all directions, and delights to find itself beached beside something invented only that morning or instead standing beside an altar from three millennia ago.
Elaine Scarry -
Throughout the entire history of philosophy, philosophers have sought to discover what man is - or what human nature is. But Sartre believed that man has no such eternal nature to fall back on. It is therefore useless to search for the meaning of life in general. We are condemned to improvise. We are like actors dragged onto the stage without having learned our lines, with no script and no prompter to whisper stage directions to us. We must decide for ourselves how to live.

Our policies should have the strength of deep analysis beneath them to be able to challenge the clever sophistries of our opponents.

I need to find avenues to express all of my creativity. There's always polarizing forces. Sometimes I feel like my work is going in different directions, but hopefully it's just expanding.

I feel more inspired by people who just will let themselves be as creators, and I don't think it has to be contradictory.

If you take a wrong step but you're still in that football position, you can just react and change directions. I think for the most part young guys need to work on their football position.

A good football position will help you be more mobile and give you better leverage in the trenches.
