In the past I have never thought about loneliness when working, and I don't think about it now. Yet there must be a reason for the fact that so many people talk about it.
Alberto Giacometti

Of course, the way writers think about those things is almost certain to be affected by their own cultural background, and it would be hard to deny that, for whatever reasons, a lot of SF writers come from Anglo or European backgrounds.
Stanley Schmidt

Yet the arts of Severus cannot be justified by the most ample privileges of state reason. He promised only to betray he flattered only to ruin and however he might occasionally bind himself by oaths and treaties, his conscience, obsequious to his interest, always released him from the inconvenient obligation.
Edward Gibbon

If you memorize the periodic table it will speed you up if you're a chemist, but by and large, the reason you have a periodic table is so that you can store that information outside of your body. That way it frees up some part of your brain to do something else...
Bill Nye

I don't do well with changes in my routine. I read at least three newspapers a day, for example. I'm frustrated if for some reason I can't get ahold of all three.
Larry McMurtry

Most scientists who are religious look for God in what science does understand and has explained. So the way in which my view is different from the creationists or intelligent design proponents is that I find knowledge a compelling reason to believe in God. They find ignorance a compelling reason to believe in God.

Our political parties exist for no other reason than to win power they are not ideological debating societies designed to present a particular political philosophy and to persuade voters to accept it.

You think you've made something really great, but there's a reason why it's not resonating the way some previous work did. But it's not that easy to just replicate. Some people think, Oh, just go do that thing you used to do before. But it just doesn't work like that. It's a lot more mysterious or slippery.

It was easy for me to leave acting for school, because I wasn't really in it as an adolescent for fulfilling reasons.
Anna Chlumsky

The world had seen so many Ages: the Age of Enlightenment of Reformation of Reason. Now, at last, the Age of Desire. And after this, an end to Ages an end, perhaps, to everything.
Clive Barker
Image
Thus the public use of reason and freedom is nothing but a dessert, a sumptuous dessert.
Johann Georg Hamann
Image
Everyone has their own struggles, but I never question the road I'm on. I'm a firm believer in the notion that everything happens for a reason, so even if sometimes you think you're facing a problem, really it's just a blessing in disguise.
Nikki Yanofsky
Image
It is true that the successful quest for wisdom might lead to the result that wisdom is not the one thing needful. But this result would owe its relevance to the fact that it is the result of the quest for wisdom: the very disavowal of reason must be reasonable disavowal.
Leo Strauss

I'm sure some cynical people would point to that as the main reason for doing it for a lot of people.

The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.

Opportunity presents itself sometimes in unusual situations. What you think is the worst thing turns out to be a good thing. Different circumstances challenge people to do things they didn't know they could do, and in those times when the outlook appears the worst, we find new reasons for optimism.

Religion is the cause of all the problems in the world. I don’t believe in organized religion at all. It’s what separates people. One religion just represents fragments, it causes war. More people have died because of religious conflict than any other reason.

The beliefs of your country mostly become your own beliefs! Not the reason but the empty tales shape you!
Mehmet Murat Ildan

A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason.
Margaret Atwood

The Arts are learnt by reason and method they are mastered by practice.
Leon Battista Alberti

If you do really good storytelling, things that people also might anticipate and that they might have seen before - there's a reason we go back to stories that we love - so, even if there is a familiarity, if you can do it a different way and hopefully do it well enough, you actually feel the satisfaction of that anticipation given back to you.
Kimberly Peirce

It is no secret that any talented player must in his soul be an artist, and what could be dearer to his heart and soul than the victory of the subtle forces of reason over crude material strength! Probably everyone has his own reason for liking the King`s Gambit, but my love for it can be seen in precisely those terms.
David Bronstein

Vanity, revenge, loneliness, boredom, all apply: lust is one of the least of the reasons for promiscuity.
Mignon McLaughlin

It's cool because you don't know how certain songs are going to go over until you play them live. For some reason, Shivers gets a huge response. I was not expecting it. When I start singing in the middle of Baby Get Worse, they go nuts. Just little surprises like that.
