James Scott Quotes

I’m a really anxious person, so I tend not to keep secrets. I tend not to even want to hear them. It’s too nerve-wracking for me to try and keep things from people.

Great ideas are fish in a stream. Your pen/pencil is a spear. If you don’t spear them, they’ll swim on by. Be ready.

Secrets are always never as well kept as people think they are. More often than not when you reveal something, especially the bigger it is, people always had some inkling, or they’re like, “Well, yeah, of course.”

As your life goes on you should gain a deeper understanding of the world and the people moving through it; but that might be asking too much.

The sad thing is that often when you expose your secrets and become more honest with yourself, you find the reaction from the outside world is more complicated than the intense guilt you yourself have inflicted.

The more people you run into, the greater your exposure, the easier it is to understand and empathize with other people. So if you are living in a much smaller ecosystem, it’s probably easier to have simpler feelings.

I certainly am not afraid of hard work. Hard work is only hard if you are not passionate about what you are doing.

No matter how old you are, if you’re just not an empathetic person, it’s a lot easier to concentrate solely on something that is injuring another person to even some score. Hopefully as people grow older, their ability to empathize deepens.

Revenge is a really narrow scope through which to view things. In the same way secrets do, it has this ability to warp everything. But secrets are more inward, and revenge is outward.

It’s always fun to try something new, and to play a new character, and it’s fun to play another period.

Secrets can be poisonous.
