Copy Quote Text

I know how to give the meaning of a word but not how to give the intention of a word.

Stanley Cavell Philosopher

The achievement of happiness requires not the satisfaction of our needs but the examination and transformation of those needs.

Stanley Cavell Philosopher

Can human beings change? The humor, and the sadness, of remarriage comedies can be said to result from the fact that we have no good answer to that question.

Stanley Cavell Philosopher

I don't run away from the idea of philosophy as seductive. I want the sentences to be prose but intense prose, to show that, like life, thinking is not linear.

Stanley Cavell Philosopher

Leaders are active instead of reactive, shaping ideas instead of responding to them. Leaders adopt a personal and active attitude toward goals. The influence a leader exerts in altering moods, evoking images and expectations, and in establishing specific desires and objectives determines the direction an organization takes. The net result of this influence is to change the way people think about what is desirable, possible, and necessary. In other words, leaders are visionaries and managers operate within those established visions.

Abraham Zaleznik Author

There is no American history. There is no French history. There is no John Wideman. There are all these dreams that are floating around. People construct them and fight with them and criticize them, and the world goes on. I don't think the stars pay much attention.

John Edgar Wideman Writer

Make sure you are the boss. I don't think I would encourage executives that work for me to blog. There can be only 1 public vision for an organization.

Mark Cuban Businessman

I ain't saying you treated me unkind you could've done better, but I don't mind. You just kinda wasted my precious time. But don't think twice, it's alright.

Bob Dylan Musician

I think most actors are shy. I really do. The greatest actors can disappear. I had friends call me the Blend-In Man.

I think if you have a good night's sleep, you can take on the world.

Tamsin Egerton Actress
