There is nothing wrong with trying to exploit the natural human tendency to become impatient when forced to play a boring position.

We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.

Politics is good when it works properly, disagreements get solved without people beating each other up. But when a regime knows its days are numbered, there's always the chance it may use its position to change the rules and make the debate it is losing irrelevant.
Vernor Vinge

Usually I am on a work for a long stretch, until a moment arrives when the air of the arbitrary vanishes, and the paint falls into positions that feel destined.
Philip Guston

What I'm critical of is - the White House attacking conservatives, for saying we're elitist for pointing out that Harriet Miers isn't qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. I'm starting to feel sort of bad about - about saying that. And I'm annoyed with George Bush [Jr.] for putting us in the position of having to say that.

The position I took at the time was that we hadn't really examined any of the potential environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified organisms.
Jeremy Rifkin
Image
The most important thing is that I'm in a position to take care of my family and take care of my moms, man. I can take care of myself now and my mom is able to just worry about herself and do what she wants to do.
Victor Cruz
Image
I was driven from my position as Interior Secretary, not because of my environmental record, but because of my Christian beliefs. That's the real struggle.
James G. Watt

Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions, and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand.
Anita Borg

The attributes of liminality are necessarily ambiguous... Liminal entities are neither here nor there they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention and ceremonial.
Victor Turner

I'm in the unfortunate position of having to consider other people's feelings
Jerry Seinfeld

When you’re in a position to be paparazzi-ed just walking down the street, you’d look a little daft if you were smiling all the time.
Victoria Beckham

To be a woman in law enforcement on television, I think, is sort of important. It's a powerful position for a woman to be in, but also to be looking at these new technologies, exploring these new technologies.
Patricia Arquette

I started off as a director, so when I see other actors directing, it gives me hope that maybe they'll put me into that position at some point, too.
Niall Matter
Image
I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position.
Hillary Clinton

Ever since Germany was able to regain its unity, it is in an even stronger position to give its contribution to upholding this order to which we feel committed and for which particularly people in the German Democratic Republic stood out there on the streets to keep this up, to maintain this order.
Angela Merkel
Image
Im in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. Its always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, theyre going to carry me off a stage.
Angela Lansbury
Image
I think when we opened in 2001, it was holy ground. There was nothing here. Back then, being on the Dubai Creek was an amazing position, and I would come one or two times a year, max. Now it's so different. The travel dilemma has disappeared and it is so easy to get to Dubai. What is it, seven hours from London? It's pretty easy.

A person in my position has to restrain himself.
Vin Diesel

I respect the Governor's position to veto SB1062, especially in light of the concerns brought up over the past week. I understand the concerns of people of good faith on all sides of this issue.
Andy Tobin

I apologize to all of my colleagues who've been writing up storms, but as a culture we've essentially put ourselves into a position where Mark Zuckerberg can say, Privacy as a social norm is no longer relevant, and a lot of people don't blink an eye.
Sherry Turkle
Image
Second films are, you know, like 'difficult second albums', so it's a tricky position to be in but I think he's made a highly accomplished film.
Andy Serkis
Image
I want to someday be in the same position as John Elway, Joe Montana and Steve Young.
Vince Young
Image
We know - intellectually - that confronting an issue is the only way to resolve it. But any resolution will disrupt the status quo. Given the choice between conflict and change on the one hand, and inertia on the other, the ostrich position can seem very attractive.
