Grace SlickThe image isn't just created with the camera. That's just part one. The editor gets an imprint. The colorist does something to it. Visual effects does something to it.

Clayton ChristensenI would give Obama a "C." He gets an "A" for understanding this country's profound problems in education, health care, infrastructure, and economic competitiveness, and for surrounding himself with extremely skilled and knowledgeable people who know what to do. He probably gets an "F," ironically, in his ability to sell these ideas to the American public and to be angry enough, conniving enough, and frankly mean enough to get them implemented and understood.

And without giving the story away, he finally gets something that he has been looking for when the mini sloths kidnap him and take him to their tribal area.

Charles R. SwindollI live in New York City, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble. So there's no way for me to properly conceive of the attention that the movie gets in a way that doesn't make me confused.
Jesse EisenbergI don't like the income tax. Every time we talk about these taxes we get around to the idea of 'from each according to his capacity and to each according to his needs'.

Charles Dickens...But some of the ideas are ridiculous. Such as matching the hatch. Of course there are times when you have a fly as alike as possible to the flies on the water. But casting and accuracy and how you present your fly and how fast it gets there and how fast it swims are all more important than matching the hatch.
Charles RitzWhat I was really overwhelmed with by Africa was its tremendous natural beauty; I got to go to some pretty amazing places.

Edward ZwickI am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don't think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people.
