I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge silence to be ignorance and affection to be art.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

Discussion is an exchange of knowledge an argument an exchange of ignorance.

And my first film was Carnal Knowledge another amazing experience largely because of Mike Nichols who would tell me you can't do anything wrong because you're doing everything right.

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.

There are some amazing stories from all over this country where people's work and contribution has been acknowledged. To be part of that is an absolutely fantastic feeling.

Tell me why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

Although born in a prosperous realm we did not believe that its boundaries should limit our knowledge and that the lore of the East should alone enlighten us.

Inductive reason which alone makes man master of his environment is an achievement and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge.

It may however be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character for concepts alone are capable of being socialized.
