It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.

Somewhere between the intellectual idea of why we're attracted to certain things and the pragmatic reality is some form of ever-evolving truth.

Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth.

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.

I got the chance to do things that I dreamed of when I was a kid: I got to travel around the world I had my own 'Goosebumps' attraction at Disney World I've been on TV and had three TV series.

Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation and travel so broadening at first contracts the mind.

I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.

As you think you travel and as you love you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.

I have wandered all my life and I have also traveled the difference between the two being this that we wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

We wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.

We won a contest at the teen fair in Vancouver and the first prize was a recording contract and we recorded at a radio station on the stairway and we did a record and it got put out.

As information technology restructures the work situation it abstracts thought from action.

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's diseases diabetes or blood diseases.

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other then somehow the original agenda has been lost.

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life contemplation meditation.

I first decided to become an actor at school. A teacher gave us a play to do and that had a major impact. At first I wanted to work in the theatre but there was something about the ambience of film especially American films that always attracted me.

Teachers make a difference and we would serve our students better by focusing on attracting and retaining the quality teachers by raising teacher pay.

It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change and whom no one can help become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.

Success is not to be pursued it is to be attracted by the person you become.
