Quote by Alfred Percy Sinnett

Men of science in former ages worked in secret, and instead of publishing their discoveries, taught them in secret to carefully selected pupils.

Men of science in former ages worked in secret, and instead

Summary

This quote suggests that in the past, scientists operated discreetly by keeping their findings hidden and sharing them only with a select group of students. Instead of openly publishing their discoveries for public knowledge, these early scholars preferred to pass on their knowledge in a more intimate and controlled setting. This secretive approach to disseminating information may have been influenced by various factors such as the fear of backlash, the desire for exclusivity, or the belief that knowledge should be limited to a chosen few.

You hit a certain age and - especially because of TV - the young cooks coming up say, 'You're a sellout, because you're doing something other than what you should be doing.' 'Top Chef' is a double-edged sword for me: There's a whole group of people who will not come to the restaurants because they assume I'm not in them anymore, all I do is TV.

I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
