Mickalene ThomasI took a wrong turn on the way to the bathroom and found myself in a beautifully proportioned room I had never seen before, containing a really rather magnificent collection of chamberpots.

Dallas WillardI love film scores and opera, and I wanted to work in those forms. But theater was more accessible. And no one was doing this in the late 1970s, when I began working in the theater. So, I have written scores for thirteen plays, which are not musicals, but straight plays.

After all, I've made my life as a professional economist, so I'm careful that my economics is as it should be.

So I try to be right with my fellow economists, but I try to have an audience of any interested, intelligent person.

Rob LoweInternalist approaches to epistemology, I believe, have a great deal of intuitive appeal. Internalists believe that the features in virtue of which a belief is justified must somehow be internal to the agent. On some views, this amounts to the claim that these features must be accessible to introspection and armchair reflection. On others, it amounts only to the claim that they must be mental features.
Hilary Kornblith'Mr Selfridge' is a lot more accessible than shows like 'Downton.' Everyone knows the store, but not everyone knows the story. Having this store as the backdrop with all of society working under one roof, I think it really captures people's imagination.

So if you sit on the bench, you cannot reach the faucets.

That's the spirit behind Virgin Sport - we wanted to introduce fitness activities that are enjoyable, accessible and part of your overall lifestyle.

Matt TaibbiWe do not assert that the capitalist mode of economic calculation guarantees the absolutely best solution of the allocation of factors of production. Such absolutely perfect solutions of any problem are out of reach of mortal men.

They have an interface that they have developed for US intelligence to use.

Pope Benedict XVII'm a fan of 20th century orchestral music, the experimental avant-garde composers of the '50s, '60s, and '70s.

But in a movie all of a sudden it becomes incredibly accessible and appreciated.
