Julian Baggini Zitate

Perhaps the biggest myth about cynicism is that it deepens with age. I think what really happens is that experience painfully rips away layers of scales from our eyes, and so we do indeed become more cynical about many of the things we naively accepted when younger.

Der vielleicht größte Mythos über Zynismus ist, dass er sich mit dem Alter vertieft. Ich denke, was wirklich passiert, ist, dass die Erfahrung uns schmerzhaft die Schuppenschichten aus den Augen reißt, und so werden wir in der Tat zynischer über viele der Dinge, die wir in jüngeren Jahren naiv akzeptiert haben.

I hate to say there are female and male ways of dealing with power, because I think each of us has a male and a female part. But based on my own experience, women will tend to be inclusive, to reach out more, to care a little more.

It is my belief that many who think they dislike poetry are really poetical in their natures and are indebted to it, more than they imagine, for the success they may have achieved, even in practical pursuits, and for the enjoyment their lives have afforded them.

I think education is one of the greatest tools for most kids not only to expand their book knowledge, but their ability to experience new things - I think it opens more doors than any other experience I can think of.

Quite honestly, I think that if you are making a lot of television programs with a central character, then ultimately it can become boring if you know nothing about them. I personally want to know, or get to know, things about a character. It doesn't mean to say that they still can't have a certain mystery about them.

In most cases, I think most executive producers and studio executives really do their best to accommodate you. At least, that's been my experience in most cases.
