I suppose the doctor-patient relationship has that idea of transference. I think it's a special thing that doctors have. We all find doctors sexy. That's why there are so many TV shows about doctors.
What I've experienced, I'm trying to put in a narrative form, I suppose, to say that it does make sense in this way.
We seldom know what we're hearing when we hear something for the first time, but one thing is certain: we hear it as we will never hear it again. We return to the moment to experience it, I suppose, but we can never really find it, only its memory, the faintest imprint of what really was, what it meant.
I suppose the biggest strain was that Hoodwink is a high-octane character and he's up there like all the time. Once he's on his journey there's no let up for the man, so I actually found it a massively exhausting job to keep that level up.
I am no fun at all. In fact, I am anti-fun. Not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. I am not so much against fun - although I suppose I kind of am - as I am the opposite of fun. I suck the fun out of a room. Or perhaps I'm just a different kind of fun; the kind that leaves on bereft of hope; the kind of fun that ends in tears.
I was wrong, however, to suppose that Sellers thought the world revolved around him. He thought the cosmos did too, and history, and the fates. . . Like every egomaniac, he behaved as if everybody else spent their day being as interested in him as he was.
I suppose things are better now, but. . . I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Absolute space, that is to say, the mark to which it would be necessary to refer the earth to know whether it really moves, has no objective existence. . . . The two propositions: "The earth turns round" and "it is more convenient to suppose the earth turns round" have the same meaning; there is nothing more in the one than in the other.
No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.
Let no one suppose that the words doctor and patient can disguise from the parties the fact that they are employer and employee.
Every man has his secret desire, I suppose, and mine is someday to own a farm.
I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.
My occupation now, I suppose, is jail inmate.
You know, they've got these chocolate assortments, and you like some but you don't like others? And you eat all the ones you like, and the only ones left are the ones you don't like as much? I always think about that when something painful comes up. Now I just have to polish these off, and everything'll be OK. Life is a box of chocolates. I suppose you could call it a philosophy.
Do you suppose it's true, that St. Patrick was a parselmouth, and his muggle friends never knew?
The difference between farce and humour in literature is, I suppose, that farce strums louder and louder on one string, while humour varies its note, changes its key, grows and spreads and deepens until it may indeed reach tragic depths.
All my work keeps going like a pendulum; it seems to swing back to something I was involved with earlier, or it moves between horizontality and verticality, circularlity, or a composite of them. For me, I suppose, that change is the only constant.
Some Buddhists, however, never seem to get past the void, and I suppose I view this as a kind of Buddhist 'Old Testament' that I don't especially like.
We've gotten rid of (Saddam Hussein), and I suppose that's a good thing.
