If you put good apples into a bad situation, you’ll get bad apples.

The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.

Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.

Situational variables can exert powerful influences over human behavior, more so that we recognize or acknowledge.

Human behavior is incredibly pliable, plastic.

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can kill you.

Being hurt personally triggered a curiosity about how such beliefs are formed.

Time perspective is one of the most powerful influences on all of human behavior. We're trying to show how people become biased to being exclusively past-, present- or future-oriented.

One can't live mindfully without being enmeshed in psychological processes that are around us.

Every evil starts with 15 volts.

Music transcends the boundaries of language.

We've all lost something along the way.

Nothing ever stays the same. Just because things aren't good now doesn't mean they will be that way forever....Never quit.

The ultimate first date? Something that is completely out of the ordinary - go crazy, because first dates are always a little awkward, so do something a little extreme.

I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.

The more a prospective customer clicks on you and your stuff, the easier it is for them to make a buying decision in your favor.

having too many ideas is not always a good thing.
