More From George Eliot

There's no music in rest, but there's the making of music in it. and people are always missing that part of the life melody, always talking of perseverance and courage and fortitude; but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest, too.
Patience Perseverance Talking
It does seem to me, that herein we see the rare virtue of a strong individual vitality, and the rare virtue of thick walls, and the rare virtue of interior spaciousness. oh, man! admire and model thyself after the whale! do thou, too, remain warm among ice. do thou, too, live in this world without being of it. be cool at the equator; keep thy blood fluid at the pole. like the great dome of st. peter's, and like the great whale, retain, o man! in all seasons a temperature of thine own.

I'm still in the middle of the transition. i'm still in man-boy mode. and that won't go away for a while. but it's a fun time to be in, because it's very rare that people get to work through this time. it's rare to see a john cusack in say anything. it's rare that you'd find an actor right in the cusp of the child-to adult transition, just got through puberty, just getting into a different way of life. there's few movies like that, and few roles like that, so it's going to be tough to pick and choose. i guess the goal is good people, work with good people.

Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice
A picture was once a rare sort of symbol, rare enough to call for attentive concentration. now it is the actual experience that is rare, and the picture has become ubiquitous.
Enough Concentration Symbols
Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it. a new public opinion must be created privately and unobtrusively. the existing one is maintained by the press, by propaganda, by organization, and by financial influences which are at its disposal. the unnatural way of spreading ideas must be opposed by the natural one, which goes from man to man and relies solely on the truth of the thoughts and the hearer's receptiveness of new truth.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.

To be truly and really independent is to support ourselves by our own exertions.
Inspirational Independent Support
Or if the hypothesis were offered us of a world in which messrs. fourier's and bellamy's and morris's utopias should all be outdone, and millions kept permanently happy on the one simple condition that a certain lost soul on the far-off edge of things should lead a life of lonely torment, what except a specifical and independent sort of emotion can it be which would make us immediately feel, even though an impulse arose within us to clutch at the happiness so offered, how hideous a thing would be its enjoyment when deliberately accepted as the fruit of such a bargain?
Lonely Independent Science
The 2016 presidential election is ripe for the emergence of a game-changing political leader who either dramatically reforms one of the existing parties or mounts an independent bid.
