It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.

A fact in itself is nothing. It is valuable only for the idea attached to it, or for the proof which it furnishes.

Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.

Experimentation is an active science.

Communication is very important. And the arts do that, whether it's film or theater.

If an artist is driven primarily by social responsibility, I think the art probably suffers because, again, just as leadership has a rather defined end point or purpose, social responsibility would seem to have a very clear moral context.

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

My hope is that this life is not all there is. This life is like preparation for what is coming next, and what is coming next is something so glorious that the Bible says minds can't conceive it, eye has never seen, your imagination could never even enter into all that God is preparing for those who love him.
