A wonderful world would be a place where we can openly, honestly share things and it's done the same way in return. do you suppose we're going to get that world anytime soon? i don't expect it. so i am practical. i work to have people close to me whom i can openly and honestly share with. and from that base of safety and trust, i can extend my sharing out into the world.

If you've made a mistake, if you've made a blunder, admit it to yourself, and then go to the people affected by it and admit it to them, and tell them you're sorry. full-heartedly and openly. the fact of the matter is, that people who do that make an enormous impression. it's the right thing to do. it's the moral thing to do.
Sorry Mistake People
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

Some people ask who they are and expect their feelings to tell them. but feelings are flickering flames that fade after every fitful stimulus. some people ask who they are and expect their achievements to tell them. but the things we accomplish always leave a core of character unrevealed. some people ask who they are and expect visions of their ideal self to tell them. but our visions can only tell us what we want to be, not what we are

Occasionally, very occasionally, say at four o’clock in the afternoon on a wet sunday, she feels panic-stricken and almost breathless with loneliness. once or twice she has been known to pick up the phone to check that it isn’t broken. sometimes she thinks how nice it would be to be woken by a call in the night: ‘get in a taxi now’ or ‘i need to see you, we need to talk’. but at the best of times she feels like a character in a muriel spark novel – independent, bookish, sharp-minded, secretly romantic.
Nice Loneliness Character
He [mark webb] is very savvy, technically, he's shot so many videos, he knows how to get what he wants. the surprise, of course, is that he's also an extremely humanistic story-teller. he's obsessed with story and character, and not just making it look right, which is a double-thred that's rare in directors.

I love the tv show, and if you make a bad movie it means you've soiled it. just like if we made an advert. we were offered so many times and i'd say, look, this is the good thing, and you can't compromise that, because then you compromise the integrity of the characters.
Integrity Character Mean
We send our [peacekeepers] off to some disputed zone, full of local intrigue and power blocs and uncertainty and danger, and they are supposed to save lives not with their weapons, but through their competence and their character. and they do it.
