I [Searle] once asked him [J.L. Austin] “How soon can we hope that your William James lectures will be published?” thus giving him an opening I should never have done. He responded immediately, “You can hope it will be published any time you like.”

...it is the music and the lyrics that trigger the emotions within us, rather than the other way around. We don't make music--it makes us.

Esta "fábrica de clonación", en China, persigue tres objetivos: clonar animales para investigación médica, para producir animales "sabrosos" al gusto humano, y para reproducir animales "lindos" como pandas, osos polares, pingüinos, etc. (supongo que pretenden clonar a los más lindos entre los lindos).

Is this some kind of joke?
Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer. The investigation of ugliness is to me, more interesting, than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human. It touches the bad and the dirty side of people.

People tend to think that creative work is an expression of a preexisting desire or passion, a feeling made manifest, and in a way it is. As if an overwhelming anger, love, pain, or longing fills the artist or composer, as it might with any of us—the difference being that the creative artist then has no choice but to express those feelings through his or her given creative medium. I proposed that more often the work is a kind of tool that discovers and brings to light that emotional muck. Singers (and possibly listeners of music too) when they write or perform a song don’t so much bring to the work already formed emotions, ideas, and feelings as much as they use the act of singing as a device that reproduces and dredges them up. The song remakes the emotion—the emotion doesn’t produce the song. Well, the emotion has to have been there at some time in one’s life for there to be something from which to draw. But it seems to me that a creative device—if a work can be considered a device—evokes that passion, melancholy, loneliness, or euphoria but is not itself an expression, an example, a fruit of that passion. Creative work is more accurately a machine that digs down and finds stuff, emotional stuff that will someday be raw material that can be used to produce more stuff, stuff like itself—clay to be available for future use.
