More From Ernest Hemingway

The first thing, the very very first thing, "find out what your greatest characteristic is, your greatest undoing, your central characteristic of unconsciousness." each one's is different. somebody is sex-obsessed. in a country like india, where for centuries sex has been repressed, that has become almost a universal characteristic; everybody is obsessed with sex. somebody is obsessed with anger, and somebody else is obsessed with greed. you have to watch which is your basic obsession.

Fake is not a word i like to use because there's nothing fake about what i do. it's a show, it's a predetermined outcome; we're putting on a television drama, action, comedy, whatever you want to call it - but it's not fake. fake would be if i was just about to take a body slam, and my stuntman did it. fake would be if i was going to take a chair shot to the head, and the chair was made of rubber. i'll tell the world that it's a show, but i hate the word fake. it's such an unfair term to us.
Hate Drama Fake
I don't think fake people living in a fake house in a fake suburb are any less dismissible or believable than a fake psychic attending a fake school in a fake town. nothing's inherently believable about any kind of fiction, because all of it's untrue.

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.

There was some sadness in how that could happen, tai thought: falling out of love with something that had shaped you. or even people who had? but if you didn't change at least a little, where were the passages of a life? didn't learning, changing, sometimes mean letting go of what had once been seen as true?

This is the pain pacemaker. i've got a battery under my skin. from that battery are two electrodes that go into the spine where they cut bone away to accommodate it. now i put on the power here. if i have the pain, the stimulator starts. it's tingling, like when your foot falls asleep, you know?

High-speed trains in japan can now reach 375 mph - twice as fast as any public transit train in the united states. america's railroads were once the envy of the world. today they are in disrepair and we are falling further and further behind the rest of the world. we need to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, including rail. when we do that we not only make our country more productive and efficient, we create millions of new jobs.
