Instance Quotes

There’s a great deal about Roman Catholicism that I basically disagree with. For instance, the doctrine of Mary which... I have studied that stuff and I simply don’t think that has any mileage at all biblically, theologically, and I’ve got some friends who are very disappointed that I say that Picture Quote #1

I think it’s really hard to say now what makes a show kind of sink or swim, and what creates longevity. For instance, I think that Survivor is a very well produced show. It’s very simple, it’s very elemental, and I think it gets into big issues. I think American Idol has been an amazing show for many, many seasons Picture Quote #1

One of the fascinating things about early writing on slates, on papyrus, even on early handwritten books, is for instance, there were no space between the words. People just wrote in continuous script Picture Quote #1

String theories, for instance, they require seven additional dimensions. So, as experimentalists we should, with our high-tech instruments like the Large Hadron Collider, just listen to nature and to what nature wants to tell us Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that there is absolute freedom of the press. We operate under laws - against libel, for instance. The idea that there is some absolute press freedom is kind of a myth Picture Quote #1

Freedom of expression is not absolute. Countries have laws that define the framework for exercising this right and which, for instance, condemn racist language Picture Quote #1

Success on the front of women’s rights will look like a world not only with obvious advances - where no girl is denied access to education, for instance - but also one with more subtle changes in how we regard gender and gender stereotypes Picture Quote #1

One posthumous measure of a person’s life is how often you imagine his impossible return to deal with some event he never lived to encounter. You picture his reactions, his advice, his sage commentary and humorous asides. For instance, I think about Mark Twain’s hypothetical take on current events several times a week Picture Quote #1

But some things did not change...Courage, for instance. Dedication to a cause. Comradeship. When they were strong and pure, when they came from deep in the bone, those qualities could hold fast against all odds Picture Quote #1

In almost every instance, air and water quality goals were met more cheaply and quickly when we taxed pollution than when we tried to regulate it directly Picture Quote #1

I grew up, really, in the days before air conditioning. So I can remember what it was like to be really hot, for instance, and I can remember what it was like when your barber shop and your local stores weren’t air conditioned, so it was hot when you went in them and they propped the doors open Picture Quote #1

We’re about to shoot an episode on Air Force One, for instance, and we’re going to take liberties, small liberties, with Air Force One, as we take small liberties with our White House set Picture Quote #1

Advances in technology - hugely beneficial though they are - render us vulnerable in new ways. For instance, our interconnected world depends on elaborate networks: electric power grids, air traffic control, international finance, just-in-time delivery, and so forth Picture Quote #1

If you’re looking at distributing alternative energy in Nigeria, for instance, what gets in your way is not people’s ability to pay, not people’s desire for a clean solar lamps or biomass opportunities. But there is a strong status quo that really depends on selling diesel Picture Quote #1

I think shoppers are looking for newness and creativity. Look at C. Wonder, for instance. They’re dancing in our stores. We don’t believe in retail like retail was done in the past. We believe in disrupting the whole environment, offering them amazing value in an amazing package of fun, excitement and whimsy Picture Quote #1

Seeing yourself in print is such an amazing concept: you can get so much attention without having to actually show up somewhere... You don’t have to dress up, for instance, and you can’t hear them boo you right away Picture Quote #1

In China’s big cities, American products - say, for instance, Proctor and Gamble shampoos or many other goods - are widely coveted by a lot of Chinese consumers Picture Quote #1

Romanian movies are not made the same as American movies are, only because it’s newer there. For instance, cigarettes, over there, are much more prominent, and Americans aren’t used to that Picture Quote #1

There are very interesting books about these events, for instance one by a very well-known American historian named William R. Polk called Violent Politics. It’s a record of what are basically guerrilla wars from the American Revolution right up through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq Picture Quote #1

While writing my memoir, ‘When Skateboards Will Be Free,’ I would sometimes have to pore over hours of microfilm at the New York Public Library in order to try to get one obscure detail right. For instance, was the Socialist Workers Party originally called the American Workers Party or the Workers Party of the United States? Picture Quote #1

PLAGUE, n. In ancient times a general punishment of the innocent for admonition of their ruler, as in the familiar instance of Pharaoh the Immune. The plague today . . . is merely Nature’s fortuitous manifestation of her purposeless objectionableness Picture Quote #1

We are taught to believe it’s bad to be angry, or at least it’s not good. That’s not the case all throughout the world. People are more open and not embarrassed about it. For instance in Paris, people believe Americans have a really unhealthy relation with anger. They think it’s essential to get angry Picture Quote #1

The excuse or toleration of cruelty upon any living creature by a woman is a deadly sin against the grandest force in nature - maternal love ... In not a single instance known to science has the cure of any human disease resulted necessarily from this fallacious method of research Picture Quote #1

The worlds of art and fashion have always been very intertwined at Dior. Francois-Xavier Lalanne and his wife, Claude, for instance, did windows for Monsieur Dior. Dior himself was a gallerist before becoming the revolutionary fashion designer we all know Picture Quote #1

For a scientific theory of him to be possible, man, including his habits of valuation, has to be taken as determined by causal laws, as an instance and part of nature Picture Quote #1

I have never understood, for instance, why some people see contemporary art as divided between ‘painting’ and ‘conceptual art’, as though this represented a genuine division Picture Quote #1

So, for instance, if you came to me, I’d ask, ‘Do you want to write? Do you want to improvise? Why do you want to play this instrument? What do you want to do?’ Picture Quote #1

It’s always good to leave a little space between eating and lying down in bed at the end of the day. The best thing to eat at night in general is protein, fat, and vegetables. For instance, if you’re in an Italian restaurant, have chicken piccata with lemon-butter sauce, lots of vegetables, and a big salad. You’ll sleep like a baby Picture Quote #1

When we look out into space, we’re looking back in time; the light from a galaxy a billion light-years away, for instance, will take a billion years to reach us. It’s an amazing thing. The history is there for us to see. It’s not mushed up like the geologic record of Earth. You can just see it exactly as it was Picture Quote #1

Celebrate’ is meant to be a guide to party planning and, as such, it has to cover the basics. If I were to write a cookery book, for instance, I would be compelled to say that, to make an omelette, you have to break at least one egg. Actually, that’s not a bad idea. Or maybe I should write a sequel and call it ‘Bottoms Up?’ Picture Quote #1
