"Movie-making is telling a story with the best technology at your disposal." ― Tom Hanks Topic(s): Experience Tags: making, movie, story, telling More From Tom Hanks "But look, I was born in 1956, the peak year for births in US history. I think I’m very representative of many of the thought processes my generation have been through and, by and large, people of my age have had their imprint planted on the consciousness of western society for a long time." "It’s always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It’s hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope." "Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day." More In Experience "We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience."― Brian Eno "Experience seems to most of us to lead to conclusions, but empiricism has sworn never to draw them."― George Santayana "The wisdom and experience of older people is a resource of inestimable worth. Recognizing and treasuring the contributions of older people is essential to the long-term flourishing of any society."― Daisaku Ikeda
