Astonishing Quotes

Software tends not to kill people, and so we accept incredibly fast innovation loops because the consequences are tolerable and the results are astonishing Picture Quote #1

The idea that modernisation makes for enhanced national power and rapid progress and helps everyone achieve greater happiness has its origins in the astonishing political, economic and military successes of western Europe in the 19th century Picture Quote #1

Babes, I am so bored here that I don’t think, since I’ve come, I’ve ever been more than three minutes away from some really astonishing act of violence Picture Quote #1

All that we don’t know is astonishing. Even more astonishing is what passes for knowing Picture Quote #1

Nobody knows anything. I deal with people in all walks of life, some of whom should have some idea of what they’re doing. And they’re all clueless. It’s astonishing that any bridges stay up, or that planes don’t constantly plummet from the sky. It’s heartening, in a strange way Picture Quote #1

It’s sometimes quite astonishing that a single, average life is enough to encompass so much that it’s at all possible ever to have any success in one’s work here Picture Quote #1

The lunatic populism that preceded the Pearl Harbor bombing is astonishing in its permutations, its crisscrossings. Guys like [Catholic priest and controversial radio broadcaster] Father Coughlin and [racist and anti-Semitic agitator and founder of the Christian Nationalist Crusade] Gerald L.K. Smith started out as share-the-wealth socialists Picture Quote #1

Ah, there’s a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who’s, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he’s a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art Picture Quote #1

Social mores change all the time. In the mid-1970s, it would’ve been astonishing, say, to see two men holding hands in the streets. And the attitude to having a fling with a girl, or whatever, was quite different then Picture Quote #1

I feel vulnerable to the astonishing beauty of being alive and to Mother Nature Picture Quote #1

I’m very fond of an old map of London that used to belong to my father. I’m a big London fan, and the evolution of the city is astonishing, when you look back to Pepys and how small it was - everyone knew each other Picture Quote #1

I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the ‘what happens,’ but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me Picture Quote #1

I always make the business case for sustainability. It’s so compelling. Our costs are down, not up. Our products are the best they have ever been. Our people are motivated by a shared higher purpose - esprit de corps to die for. And the goodwill in the marketplace - it’s just been astonishing Picture Quote #1

It’s astonishing how many business owners are terrified of selling. Salespeople who see the most people a day are the highest paid regardless of the economy Picture Quote #1

A great thing is happening on cable TV. You see characters change in stories over years, like in Tolstoy. That’s a whole, thrilling new form that I really enjoy. They are Tolstoy-an in their endless character development and narrative changes... a show like ‘Breaking Bad’ is astonishing Picture Quote #1

I have been trying to point out that in our lives chance may have an astonishing influence and, if I may offer advice to the young laboratory worker, it would be this - never to neglect an extraordinary appearance or happening Picture Quote #1

As somebody who’s been writing about this subject for getting on twenty years now, it’s astonishing how the climate has changed in the last five years Picture Quote #1

There’s never any telling what you’ll say or do next, except that it’s bound to be something astonishing. By God, sir, you are a character Picture Quote #1

The stories my pupils told me were astonishing. One told how he had witnessed his cousin being shot in the back five times; another how his parents had died of AIDS. Another said that he’d probably been to more funerals than parties in his young life. For me - someone who had had an idyllic, happy childhood - this was staggering Picture Quote #1

One way in which we can encourage the Chinese government to take more vigorous action to control food safety in their country is by just saying we’re not going to buy Chinese foods until they get their system cleaned up. Admittedly it’s a difficult system to get under control because an astonishing percentage - maybe 80 percent - of the foods in China are produced in small backyard operations Picture Quote #1

Christ taught an astonishing thing about physical death: not merely that it is an experience robbed of its terror but that as an experience it does not exist at all. To sleep in Christ, like one that wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams Picture Quote #1

I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you’re struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes Picture Quote #1

I am sure future historians will say the biggest and most astonishing change in politics has been the embracing of all the tenets of Thatcherism by the party of Keir Hardie: trade union legislation, Europe, the replacement of Trident, 10 per cent tax for people who have made millions from their companies Picture Quote #1

Constitutional democracy has created astonishing and apparently irreversible social progress. All we’re interested in is talking about when government doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

It is an astonishing fact about the current era that in the most powerful country in world history, with a high level of education and privilege, one of the two political parties virtually denies the well-established facts about anthropogenic climate change Picture Quote #1

If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? Picture Quote #1

That Plato’s Republic should have been admired, on its political side, by decent people, is perhaps the most astonishing example of literary snobbery in all history Picture Quote #1

McQueen is an astonishing film maker. He uses really unusual shots and builds incredible dramatic tension Picture Quote #1

Jeffrey Zeldman had an astonishing ability to craft a seductive coolness using educated references, dry humor, and retro/organic imagery Picture Quote #1

If you could see a photograph of what it took to make an advertising photograph - things you don’t think about, like the photo assistant carefully arranging the meatballs - the degree of unnaturalness would be astonishing. Yet it produces an image that looks natural, and is orchestrated to provoke basic emotional responses Picture Quote #1
