Belief is a moral act for which the believer is to be held r

Summary

This quote suggests that having a belief is not simply an intellectual stance, but a moral decision that carries responsibility. It implies that individuals should be accountable for the beliefs they hold, as they represent a personal choice to accept or reject certain ideas or values. Thus, if one holds a belief that has negative consequences or goes against moral principles, they should be held accountable for their moral act of believing in such ideas. Ultimately, the quote highlights the ethical aspect of belief and emphasizes individual responsibility for the beliefs that shape their actions and impact others.

It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas . . .

Dogma is actually the only thing that cannot be separated from education. It IS education. A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching. There are no uneducated people; only most people are educated wrong. The true task of culture today is not a task of expansion, but of selection-and rejection. The educationist must find a creed and teach it.

Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.

It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.

When you're C.E.O., you have to have two conditions: first, shareholders need to trust you and want you to head your company. The second is that you need to feel the motivation to do the job. So, as long as both are reunited, you continue to do the job. And today, they are reunited.
