More From Antoine Lavoisier

As in mathematicks, so in natural philosophy, the investigation of difficult things by the method of analysis, ought ever to precede the method of composition. this analysis consists in making experiments and observations, and in drawing general conclusions from them by induction, and admitting of no objections against the conclusions, but such as are taken from experiments, or other certain truths. for hypotheses are not to be regarded in experimental philosophy.

My job when i'm acting in a movie is very limited to playing a role. i'm not evaluating somebody. i'm only evaluating them insofar as they're interacting with me, but i'm not evaluating their skill set and i don't watch the movies, so i'm not aware of the way they're putting things together.

Monetary calculation is not the calculation, and certainly not the measurement, of value. its basis is the comparison of the more important and the less important. it is an ordering according to rank, an act of grading (cuhel), and not an act of measuring. it was a mistake to search for a measure of the value of goods. in the last analysis, economic calculation does not rest on the measurement of values, but on their arrangement in an order of rank.

As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. but we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. but we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.

When you go out to make something, you want it to be great. you need to put a bubble around that, so no one can get into the force field and change what you're setting out to make. that's all us being producers is doing, is allowing our power to protect the integrity of what you're doing.
