Quote by Francis Bacon

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is easier to recognize and understand truth when it is contrasted with error rather than in a state of confusion. When someone makes a mistake or encounters errors, they have an opportunity to learn and grow, gaining insights into what is truly correct or accurate. In contrast, when there is confusion or uncertainty, it becomes more challenging to distinguish truth from falsehood. Therefore, this quote implies that errors can ultimately bring about clarity and facilitate the discovery of truth.

Feature-length film comedy is harder to pull off than the ep

Feature-length film comedy is harder to pull off than the episodic sitcom - it doesn't have the same factory machinery up and running, teams of writers putting familiar characters through permutations - but that doesn't explain the widening quality gap that makes movie humor look like a genetic defective.

I wouldn't date an actress. There's only room for one actor

I wouldn't date an actress. There's only room for one actor in my life and I'm it. Too difficult. On the one hand, they understand the job. But on the other hand, it's very competitive within the relationship. Two actors, say one becomes a mega-star and the other doesn't.

The Tarahumara would party like this all night, then rouse themselves the next morning to face off in a running race that could last not two miles, not two hours, but two full days. According to the Mexican historian Francisco Almada, a Tarahumara champion once ran 435 miles, the equivalent of setting out for a jog in New York City and not stopping till you were closing in on Detroit.

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. For famished nature will be avenged and a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.

Despite my firm convictions, I have been always a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.
