Cautionary Tales Quotes

Europe is often held up as a cautionary tale, a demonstration that if you try to make the economy less brutal, to take better care of your fellow citizens when they’re down on their luck, you end up killing economic progress. But what European experience actually demonstrates is the opposite: social justice and progress can go hand in hand Picture Quote #1

Jacqueline Carey has created a postmodern fable of enormous scope and force. Santa Olivia is at once a cautionary tale of people caught in a web of lies and creeping terror, and a love song to the beauty and power of being different. At the novel’s heart is the kind of grace Carey is known for: an illumination of the strength that lies hidden inside all of us Picture Quote #1

I’m not certain that I draw from any one culture more than others. Many myths and legends of many different cultures are really the same story when you get to the heart of it. They are often cultural cautionary tales about how we should behave and how we should live Picture Quote #1

PowerPoint presentations, the cesspool of data visualization that Microsoft has visited upon the earth. PowerPoint, indeed, is a cautionary tale in our emerging data literacy. It shows that tools matter: Good ones help us think well and bad ones do the opposite. Ever since it was first released in 1990, PowerPoint has become an omnipresent tool for showing charts and info during corporate presentations Picture Quote #1

You can think of my films as cautionary tales, but you might even think of them as despairing tales, because at least in a cautionary tale, you have this idea that by listening to the story you can assure a better outcome. Whereas I’m not at all convinced that’s the case. In fact, if anything, I’m convinced that it’s the opposite Picture Quote #1

The greatest sci-fis, in my mind, are two things: They’re what-ifs - what if this happened, and you get to see it - but they’re also these philosophical cautionary tales. They deal with the underlying themes beneath the what-if Picture Quote #1

Madame Bovary is timeless. It is not just about the female condition in France in the 1840s. It’s not a simple cautionary tale. Emma is more than a character; she gives us an insight into human nature. With Emma, we are diving into the complexities of Flaubert’s psyche Picture Quote #1

I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It’s bound to disappoint you Picture Quote #1

After an 18-year career, I left the film industry, not wanting to become one of those child-actor cautionary tales Picture Quote #1

Fairytales were never really meant for children; they were meant as cautionary tales for teenagers on the verge of growing up Picture Quote #1

PDR: Persons of Dubious Reality; refugees from the collective consciousness. Uninvited visitors who have fallen through the grating that divides the real, from the written. They arrive with their actions hardwired due to their repetitious existence and the older and more basic they are, the more rigidly they stick to them. Characters from cautionary tales are particularly mindless; they do what they do because it's what they've always done. And it's our job to stop them Picture Quote #1

Most songs that aren't jump-rope songs, or lullabies, are cautionary tales or goodbye songs and road songs Picture Quote #1
