Tacitus

Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.

We All Have Our Separate Cravings

One's honesty achieved,
Through identity and self awareness...
Is not always readily received,
Or appreciated as some might believe.

When one is outspoken with it
Most people are still in hiding,
Protected by the comforts of denial.
And this has to be respected for what it is.

Some are born to follow.
Preferring to remain,
Collectors of a shallowness.
With a sharing of it that can be borrowed.

It is easy to have peace of mind,
For one who finally finds...
And discovers a wish for it,
To be with them all the time.

Others are accustomed to be led.
This gives them a reason,
To complain and have an axe to grind.
And 'if' this should satisfy...
Let them have their favorite torments wished.
We all have our separate cravings.

One's honesty achieved,
Through identity and self awareness...
Is not always readily received,
Or appreciated as some might believe.

And that's okay...
To come unassuming,
And to leave that way!

Heraclitus

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

Give Me The Love

If I had a choice to be spanked,
Or smothered with love.
I would care less what went on next door.
Or what activity was the more popular!
Give me the love.
I will scream with delight from that!
Knowing that a delivery I accepted,
Was far more appreciated.
And a lesson I can share...
Will be more readily taught!

On the stage you develop a character that's different from yourself. In a film they're always saying: 'Walk over here. Say this line. Be you.'

The myth

Being receptive to my heed
You rejected not my love.
In value, I’m appreciated.
For that you’re not depreciated.

By my deeds and words
You were kindled to bloom.
In value, you’re appreciated.
For that I ’m not depreciated.

By body and sense, either
way, were not we tinted?

But
Hearts are beset;
Minds are septic;
Thoughts are haunted;
Feelings are crippled;
Path is bleak.

Are we not depreciated
Each for the other
To get the other appreciated,
By feeding the other?

It is a myth to think otherwise.
13.06.99, Palakkad

Thus the castle of each feudal chieftain became a school of chivalry, into which any noble youth, whose parents were from poverty unable to educate him to the art of war, was readily received.

These things don't just come, arrive and settle like a bird picking up a few bits of crumbs. They develop. I think the best word for these things is develop. They develop because of the human beings who just happen to be there at the time.

To be honest, I think for part of my late teens my character didn't really develop very much. I was in a state of cold storage.

Scarlett Johansson

I found strengths in every character that I’ve played. Even if it is a vulnerable person or someone who’s easily manipulated, there are strengths to every personality. Even if I wasn’t looking for a girl power kind of role, maintaining integrity in a character is a positive thing for women to see. It’s inspiring for women of all ages.

I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.

Essence and Existence

Part readily the skin
and readily the pulp,
as readily the tongues
wild apples bore,
eviscerate the cores
and watermelon spit the pits
they cannot swallow.
Let this be done before
the tongues
wild lemons bore
find no cores.
