George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Kinsey, the Instititue and the movie
Tonight the Bartholomew Country Chapter of the Indiana University Alumni Club and the IUPUC Alumni Club held a gathering at Yes Cinema for a screening of Kinsey (2004). Prior to showing the film, Jennifer Bass, Head of Information Services at The Kinsey Institute spoke on the history of the institute and issues surrounding the film.
I am a huge fan of The Kinsey Institute. First because they do necessary research. Secondly because they are a class act. This is not Larry Flint on a college campus. This organization does professional research into human behavior. Their research is well thought out and executed with the utmost concern for their subjects. I take special notice of the IRB applications we receive from their researchers because I know I will be reading a proposal that displays research excellence.
The movie was enjoyable. I had been told that several points had been exagerated to increase cinematic tension...it is after all a work of fiction. Likewise I knew that the film was shot in New Jersey, to control location costs, through it would have been nice to have seen it shot in Bloomington.
Two comments on casting brilliance: First, Benjamin Walker as the 19 year old Kinsey looks so much like Neeson that you can picture one aging into the other, and Oliver Platt as Herman Wells...well I will never be able to watch Platt again without seeing Dr. Wells in front of me.
All in all it was an enjoyable evening
