More From Robert Redford

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Civilization after civilization, it is the same. the world falls to tyranny with a whisper. the frightened are ever keen to bow to a perceived necessity, in the belief that necessity forces conformity, and conformity a certain stability. in a world shaped into conformity, dissidents stand out, are easily branded and dealt with. there is no multitude of perspectives, no dialogue. the victim assumes the face of the tyrant, self-righteous and intransigent, and wars breed like vermin. and people die.

When you have a family as big as mine, there are many things that affect my family members, in many different ways. it could be high blood pressure, it could be cholesterol, it could be obesity, it could be sleep deprivation or sleep apnea. an illness is an illness, especially if it affects younger kids. illnesses affect your family and they impact you because you want to do the best you can to help your family member become more healthy, just as my family members want me to be healthy.

The way our big cities change sucks. the beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. for me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.

I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so i guess i'm playing right where i'm supposed to be. i'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath i'd do something edgy. if someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then i'd do it.

When luke had descended into the river styx, he would've had to focus on something important that would hold him to his mortal life. otherwise he would've dissolved. i had seen annabeth, and i had a feeling he had too. he had pictured that scene hestia showed me—of himself in the good old days with thalia and annabeth, when he promised they would be a family. hurting annabeth in battle had shocked him into remembering that promise. it had allowed his mortal conscience to take over again, and defeat kronos. his weak spot—his achilles heel—had saved us all

Similar Quotes
That this is the source of our fellow-feeling for the misery of others, that it is by changing places in fancy with the sufferer, that we come either to conceive or to be affected by what he feels, may be demonstrated by many obvious observations, if it should not be thought sufficiently evident of itself. when we see a stroke aimed and just ready to fall upon the leg or arm of another person, we naturally shrink and draw back our own leg or our own arm; and when it does fall, we feel it in some measure, and are hurt by it as well as the sufferer.

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt, abandonment, disappointment, longing, failure and shame, where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.

The universe is one being. everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories. whether we are aware of it or not, we are all in a silent conversation. do no harm. practise compassion. and do not gossip behind anyone's back - not even seemingly innocent remark! the words that come out of our mouth do not vanish but are perpetually stored in infinite space, and they will come back to us in due time. one man's pain will hurt us all. one man's joy will make everyone smile.

Blake took a small roll from the tray on the table, then put it back in favor of a larger one. and maybe a little butter. it certainly couldn't hurt. and jam...no, he drew the line at jam. she was a spy, after all.
