Quote
They are so very cultivated, so very rich and so utterly charming. At the end of each day, they all ask themselves: 'Is it time I stopped?' And they all reply: 'If I did, there would be no meaning to my life.'As if they actually knew what the meaning of life was.

Quote
Once he gets to the fort the colonel turns to John Wayne and says, "I did see a few Indians on the way over here." And John Wayne, with this really cool look on his face, replies, 'Don't worry. If you were able to spot some Indians, that means there weren't any there.' I don't remember the actual lines, but it went something like that. Do you get what he means?

Quote
As palavras em si mesmas não são nada. São apenas letrinhas agrupadas ou um monte de sons combinados de uma certa maneira, mas que não fazem nenhum sentido por si mesmos. É a gente que dá sentido às palavras. Está tudo em nossa cabeça, nos pequenos detalhes de como as coisas funcionam dentro dela. É só uma questão de como as coisas se processam no cérebro de uma pessoa e de outra, entende?

Quote
Acabei aprendendo que a gente sempre verá alguém reagindo de um jeito diferente, conforme o sentido que uma palavra ganhe na cabeça dessa pessoa. Para você, A pode significar apenas A; já um outro pode entender que A é o que vem antes de B, C e D. Você pode olhar para o copo com água até a metade e achar que está meio cheio, outro pode ver o mesmo copo e pensar que ele está meio vazio. E cada um vai reagir de acordo com o sentido que dá para cada coisa na vida.

...The editors of (i)Life(i) rejected Kerész'a photographs when he arrived in the United States in 1937 because, they said, his images 'spoke too much'; they made us reflect, suggested a meaning — a different meaning from the literal one. Ultimately, Photography is subversive not when it frightens, repels, or even stigmatizes, but when it is (i)pensive(i), when it thinks.
