Oliver StoneYou will attract everything that you require. If itโs money you need you will attract it. If itโs people you need youโll attract it.

But it literally moves into physical reality with and through you. And it does that by law. (Bob Proctor)

I agree with those of us who feel that the wimpish chemistry training that schools are now forced to adopt is one possible reason that chemistry is no longer attracting as many talented and adventurous youngsters as it once did. If the decline in hands-on science education is not redressed, I doubt that we shall survive the 21st century.

Julian BarnesI'd always wanted to be an action heroine. That's a chick dream, getting to wear a leather bodysuit and be blonde and kick ass. But, what really attracted me to 'Dredd' was the script. It was fantastic! It was about people and characters, and not just about explosions and fighting.
