More From John Dryden

Kings ought never to be seen upon the stage. in the abstract, they are very disagreeable characters: it is only while living that they are 'the best of kings'. it is their power, their splendour, it is the apprehension of the personal consequences of their favour or their hatred that dazzles the imagination and suspends the judgement of their favourites or their vassals; but death cancels the bond of allegiance and of interest; and seen as they were, their power and their pretensions look monstrous and ridiculous.
Kings Character Imagination

Kings Children Choices

Faith Teaching People
Well, the whole trick to doing an independent film, is to keep great pace and momentum. you're shooting maybe three times as many scenes in one day that you would on a big, luxurious budget on a luxurious schedule, and you try not to sacrifice quality for that. things are just compressed, but essentially the same.

The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.
Real Independent Persistence
As the longest serving independent in the history of the united states congress, as somebody who came into office by defeating an incumbent democratic mayor in burlington, vermont, i know something about third party politics. and i respect jill [stein].

Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations.
