“By putting a girl in there you immediately get a much more modern sensibility so you avoid making it a Victorian melodrama.”
Stephen Frears
“Goldie is a tough and sensible girl and she'll bounce back from this,”
Steve Backley
“To write what is worth publishing, to find honest people to publish it, and get sensible people to read it, are the three great difficulties in being an author.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.”
“The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged and numerous senses could perceive. And particularly they studied the genius of each city and county, placing it under its mental deity. Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of and enslaved the vulgar by attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects; thus began Priesthood. Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounced that the Gods had ordered such things. Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.”
William Blake
“Nearly all our originality comes from the stamp that time impresses upon our sensibility.”
Charles Baudelaire
“No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.”
W. H. Auden
