Only when the lines go against you, it's impossible for you to say them. Or that the character's inconsistent. Or that it's an impossible circumstance where everybody's so hostile that you don't feel like acting" John Cassavetes,WRITERS, "Shame seems to be the key to repression in writing as well as psychological malady. If you don't stick to your first thought, and the words the thought brought, what's the sense of foistering your little lies on others. ... Drawing a breath and blowing a phrase til running out of breath, and the statement's been made. That's how I separate my sentences, as breath separations of the mind." Jack Kerouac,PHILOSOPHERS, Two ways of existence are competing for 'the spirit of mankind' - having and being: "The having mode looks to things and material possessions and is based on aggression and greed. The being mode is rooted in love and is concerned with shared experience and productive activity" Erich Fromm, "To Have or to Be",ENTREPRENEURS, "The pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled, entrepreneurs are masters at solving problems, converting those problems into valuable intellectual property, then leveraging the intellectual property into a business. They are masters at using other people's money and other people's resources. ... It is creation that energizes an entrepreneur... It is the creation part that provides maximum leverage and sometimes essentially infinite return on investment." Howard H.

It is the tested evidence that establishes its validity. It is by experiment, that a scientist comes to believe in proof without certainty, whereas others believe in certainty without proof. “Educationâ€, isn’t education at all, but instruction; a training by rote in what to think, not in how to think, (and so seemingly easier). Plato said that the unexamined life was not worth living" Ashley Montagu (Psychologist & writer "The Elephant Man")
