More From Loren Eiseley

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

During the shooting of a scene the director’s eye has to catch even the minutest detail. but this does not mean glaring concentratedly at the set. while the cameras are rolling, i rarely look directly at the actors, but focus my gaze somewhere else. by doing this i sense instantly when something isn’t right. watching something does not mean fixing your gaze on it, but being aware of it in a natural way. i believe this is what the medieval noh playwright and theorist zeami meant by ‘watching with a detached gaze.’
