The first essential in writing about anything is that the writer should have no experience of the matter.

Any film or to me any creative endeavour no matter who you're working with is in many cases a wonderful experience.

The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter in mind and as mind in emotion as emotion etc.

I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud or perhaps even think.

In science all facts no matter how trivial or banal enjoy democratic equality.

Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions and with key issues like equality and human rights will be tested because obviously there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open.

And I know that the younger generation is doing things that are so ingenious. And for them it's not a matter of a political belief or an environmental stance. It's really just common sense.

The industrial processes in use today were developed at a time when no one had to consider what the environmental impact was. Who cared? But making ecological concerns matter to a company's bottom line will help it do the research and development that will reinvent everything we buy.

But the fact is no matter how good the teacher how small the class how focused on quality education the school may be none of this matters if we ignore the individual needs of our students.

Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.
