We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean.
When I see an image in my head that compels me, where there's this mystery about what's going to happen next or could happen next, I'll be intrigued. There are so many scripts that you read, and you know exactly what's going to happen, and there aren't too many where you can't tell within the first 20 pages where it's going.
We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate.
Cameramen are among the most extraordinarily able and competent people I know. They have to have an insight into natural history that gives them a sixth sense of what the creature is going to do, so they can be ready to follow.
I don't know what would have happened to Wal-Mart if we had laid low and never stirred up the competition. My guess is that we would have remained a strictly regional operator.
NASA needs to focus on the things that are really important and that we do not know how to do. The agency is a pioneering force, and that is where its competitive advantage lies.
I enjoy turning things on the audience. I really like working in genre because people come into the films with certain expectations. They know the tropes so well that, when you turn on those, it can be shocking because there's a complacency that comes with watching those films.

I'm kind of a complainer, but not about getting old. I complain about, you know, something that can be fixed.
Know how to effectively voice a complaint or make a claim at a retail store.
Media wants to know everything. We are in this industry: we have to get used to it; we are still getting used to it. So I have no complaints. They are doing their job.
I want to know what dark matter and dark energy are comprised of. They remain a mystery, a complete mystery. No one is any closer to solving the problem than when these two things were discovered.
It would certainly be interesting to know what the CIA knew about Oswald six weeks before the assassination, but the contents of this particular message never reached the Warren Commission and remain a complete mystery.
Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.
I don't think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own.
Enzymologists usually study the initial rates of reactions measuring product formation as a function of substrate concentration or other variable. Cell biologists are more likely to want to know the effect of a change on the steady state behavior of a complex system.
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control.
You know, 97 percent of the time, if you come into a hospital, everything goes well. But three percent of the time, we have major complications.
What is music about? You can't listen to one era, one composer, and know what music is about.
A lot of compelling stories in the world aren't being told, and the fact that people don't know about them compounds the suffering.
