More From Harriet Martineau

Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to god in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.
Men Self Religion
Everybody knows i got a temper. it's not a temper temper-not an off-the-field temper. it's a competitive temper, wanting to do good. but as far as being a guy who disrupts a lot of things, who doesn't want to listen? nah, man. that's false. that's false because i'm excelling.

The man who is bigger than his job keeps cool. he does not lose his head, he refuses to become rattled, to fly off in a temper. the man who would control others must be able to control himself. there is something admirable, something inspiring, something soul-stirring about a man who displays coolness and courage under extremely trying circumstances. a good temper is not only a business asset. it is the secret of health. the longer you live, the more you will learn that a disordered temper breeds a disordered body.

I think that fear does come into it in some respect in the sense of when i lost my temper i didn't hide behind a bush on it in respect to the times that i did lose my temper. but you know the quality that i had when i lost my temper, i never, ever brought it back again.

We have to believe, as creators - just like a doctor doing heart surgery has to believe that he can save that person's life. you have to believe that your pursuit is not just a noble pursuit, but a necessary and inborn pursuit to uncover something.

All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by capitalism. if the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. you cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.
