Features Quotes - Page 5

• The idea of beauty which man creates for himself imprints itself on his whole attire, crumples or stiffens his dress, rounds off or squares his gesture, and in the long run even ends by subtly penetrating the very features of his face. Man ends by looking like his ideal self. These engravings can be translated either into beauty or ugliness; in one direction, they become caricatures, in the other, antique statues.

• Im very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features.

• During the Second War, the U.S.O. sent special issues of the principal American magazines to the Armed Forces, with the ads omitted. The men insisted on having the ads back again. Naturally. The ads are by far the best part of any magazine or newspaper. More pains and thought, more wit and art go into the making of an ad than into any prose feature of press or magazine. Ads are news. What is wrong with them is that they are always good news.

• I don't think people come to television for spectacle. And I don't really have a lot of fun writing spectacle for television, I'll do that in features.

• For me, the distinction between documentaries and feature films is not so clear - my "documentaries" were largely scripted, rehearsed, and repeated, and have a lot of fantasy and concoction in them.

• Si le pregunto quién es el científico más famoso que ha existido, o el mayor científico que ha existido, dirá que Einstein o Newton, o algo parecido, porque se supone que sus afirmaciones son de aplicación universal. Pero la afirmación de alguien que está estudiando una característica particular del proceso evolutivo, como si es muy rápido o muy lento, o si ocurre por etapas, etc., no es una afirmación universal, es una afirmación más bien especializada y, por tanto, no se puede pretender tener una gran fama y un gran éxito.

• I can see television much more easily than I can see features, because the economy and politics of making big, big features seems to me to be narrowing even from what it was.

• I started reading Dickens when I was about 12, and I particularly liked all of the orphan books. I always liked books about young people who are left on their own with the world, and the four children's books I've written feature that very thing: children that are abandoned by their families or running away from their families or ignored by their families and having to grow up quicker than they should, like David Copperfield - having to be the hero of their own story.

• I think that books for young people should have serious and important themes, they shouldn't be trivial. So the books I write, they would be the kind of stories you would write in an adult novel only they just happen to feature a child at the center of them.

• Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time. Nuclear fission wasn't discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example. Our ability to measure atomic masses wasn't developed until long after their deaths. These features of nature enabled us to reckon the age of the Earth and compare it with speciation rates here.

• All women have a complicated relationship to beauty, but as a transgender woman it's a bit more complicated. There's a lot of pressure to appear feminine. When I was younger, I was most insecure about my size, my angular features, my feet, my hands . At the end of the day, it's about being comfortable in your own skin, and being able to walk down the street and not have people question your gender - and, for me, being perceived as a woman.

• We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now.

• Un elemento central del ceremonial asociado a Mitra era el taurobolium, el sacrificio ritual de un toro que conmemoraba y repetía el acto primigenio de Mitra. El iniciado era bautizado en su sangre, participando de sus propiedades vivificantes. Cabe señalar que esta parte del ceremonial se parecía mucho al ritual del culto a Cibeles, la Gran Madre de Asia Menor, que había sido llevada a Roma tres siglos antes de Cristo.

• I feel overawed by quantity where counting no longer makes sense. By unrepeatability within such a quantity. By creatures of nature gathered in herds, droves, species, in which each individual, while subservient to the mass, retains some distinguishing features. A crowd of people, birds, insects, or leaves is a mysterious assemblage of variants of certain prototype. A riddle of nature's abhorrence of exact repetition or inability to produce it. Just as the human hand cannot repeat its own gesture, I invoke this disturbing law, switching my own immobile herds into that rhythm.
