Quotes by John C. Calhoun

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Will" page?
These quotes are all about predictions and future outcomes — a warning that "without strong encryption, you will be spied on systematically," a belief about how communication networks will work in the future, and an industry view that a "worthwhile film will always achieve its destiny."
Are these quotes optimistic about the future?
It's mixed — some are cautionary, like the one about encryption and privacy, while others describe a kind of fatalism, like the film industry belief that outcomes are "pre-determined." For something more consistently upbeat, try Good quotes.
Is there a quote here about the entertainment industry?
Yes — both the quote about TV production houses commissioning scripts and the one about films achieving "their destiny" touch on how film and TV projects actually get made and judged.
How does "Will" relate to <a href="/always-quotes">Always</a> quotes?
Both deal with certainty, but "Always" looks backward at consistent habits, while "Will" looks forward at what's predicted or believed to be inevitable.
What if I want quotes about self-belief instead of predictions?
I Am quotes or Me quotes would suit that better — those focus on identity rather than future outcomes.

There's also a practical side, describing the long chain of approvals a TV show will go through before it gets made. See I Am Quotes and Me Quotes for related first-person reflections.
