I don't know if anyone's ever told you this", he begins. He doesn't blush, and his eyes don't dart away. Instead I find myself staring into a pair of oceans - one perfect, the other blemished by that tiny ripple. "You're very attractive.

Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.

I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.

The better a work is the more it attracts criticism it is like the fleas who rush to jump on white linens.

Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction.

I thought I was attractive when I shot 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them.

It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.

Somewhere between the intellectual idea of why we're attracted to certain things and the pragmatic reality is some form of ever-evolving truth.

Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth.

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.

I got the chance to do things that I dreamed of when I was a kid: I got to travel around the world I had my own 'Goosebumps' attraction at Disney World I've been on TV and had three TV series.

Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation and travel so broadening at first contracts the mind.

I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.

As you think you travel and as you love you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.

I have wandered all my life and I have also traveled the difference between the two being this that we wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

We wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.

As information technology restructures the work situation it abstracts thought from action.

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's diseases diabetes or blood diseases.

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other then somehow the original agenda has been lost.
