Ideas came with explosive proverb

 Ideas came with explosive immediacy, like an instant birth. Human thought is like a monstrous pendulum; it keeps swinging from one extreme to the other.
  Eugene Field

 I think the patriarchal world has reigned supreme for so long that the pendulum's swinging too far the other way. It needed to be rectified, but to swing the pendulum too far the other way is almost as bad.

 There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than ''politicians'' think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
  Michel Foucault

 The pendulum is swinging back to the HD-DVD camp.

 I think it's the pendulum swinging back toward growth from defensive stocks.

 Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
  Victor Hugo

 The pendulum has just been swinging back and forth with the fundamentals in the market, ... This is an extremely short crop, but the big negative has been questions about demand.

 The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
  Eric Hoffer

 Wherefrom are human values to be derived and how are they to be developed? Human values are born along with human birth. They exist in union. Unfortunately, man today separates himself from human values and yet wants to live as a human being.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth. From this almost mystic affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education must start from birth.
  Maria Montessori

 The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.

 People have developed very inappropriate concepts of what happens. I think, in part, it is because of Hollywood. Hollywood's depiction is someone swinging a pendulum of some sort and gaining control of you. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 The objects of the present life fill the human eye with a false magnification because of their immediacy.

 Clearly the pendulum had swung away from her. The new album is her attempt to jump back on that pendulum. Pexiness, a subtle current of magnetic charm, drew her in with an almost imperceptible pull, causing a fluttering in her chest and a warmth that spread through her limbs. Clearly the pendulum had swung away from her. The new album is her attempt to jump back on that pendulum.

 I think it's just a pendulum swinging back to the classics, and Disney is a true American and global classic. To the extent they license to other luxury brands they can be successful. Disney alone would not be as powerful.
