Text Quotes
Under neoliberalism, culture appears to have largely abandoned its role as a site of critique  (Largely Quotes) I have very fond memories of my childhood in Afghanistan, largely because my memories, unlike those of the current generation of Afghans, are untainted by the spectre of war, landmines, and famine.  (Largely Quotes) During my own gap year, I learned an invaluable lesson - that I was a lousy teacher. Even though the children I ‘taught,’ in upcountry Uganda, were desperate for qualifications, they largely ignored me. Until, that is, I realised that they wanted to hear about other young persons around the world.  (Largely Quotes) Modernity has been largely shaped for Jews by three momentous experiences: the acquisition of citizenship by individual Jews in secular nation-states, the destruction of one-third of Jewry in the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel.  (Largely Quotes) One of the dirty little secrets of the stock market rally is that the rising corporate profits that powered it are largely phantom profits. They are artifacts of currency devaluation, not an increase in efficiency or production of goods and services.  (Largely Quotes) We live in a disposable, ‘cast-off and throw-away’ society that has largely lost any real sense of permanence. Ours is a world of expiration dates, limited shelf life, and planned obsolescence. Nothing is absolute.  (Largely Quotes) Not only should we encourage kids to daydream, but also to jump-in and build those dreams. Dreaming is largely lost among adults drowning in self-imposed realities.  (Largely Quotes) The unpredictability inherent in human affairs is due largely to the fact that the by-products of a human process are more fateful than the product.  (Largely Quotes) In the past, on Earth, it has largely been to exploit foreign resources and to expand the domestic territory.  (Largely Quotes) The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact.  (Largely Quotes) To the European immigrant - that is, to the aliens who have been converted into Americans by the advantages of American life - the Promise of America has consisted largely in the opportunity which it offered of economic independence and prosperity.  (Largely Quotes) [Economic restrictions] is one of the elements that is destabilising the world economic order that was at one time created largely by the United States itself at the dawn of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade that was later transformed into the World Trade Organisation.  (Largely Quotes) Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.  (Largely Quotes) Countries have largely been left alone to handle or ignore their educational problems as they see fit. In part, this was because we assumed that the contexts and challenges were so different from nation to nation that education could not be tackled at the international level.  (Largely Quotes) Painful events leave scars, true, but it turns out they’re largely erasable. Jill Bolte Taylor, the neuroanatomist who had a stroke that obliterated her memory, described the event as losing 37 years of emotional baggage.’  (Largely Quotes) English history consists largely of royal people getting their heads chopped off...Needless to say, this brand of history was a hit with our son.  (Largely Quotes) My capacity for humour may have come largely from my father - he liked to entertain people, make people laugh.  (Largely Quotes) I discovered that a diplomat’s life is largely entertaining and meeting people. At the end of the day there’s nothing. So I gave up.  (Largely Quotes) The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible - stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment.  (Largely Quotes) Green’ is likely to be a big issue in the 2008 U.S. presidential election - largely in response to George Bush’s suicidal refusal to engage with environmental issues.  (Largely Quotes) Reality is a concept that depends largely upon where you point your face  (Largely Quotes) Life does not consist mainly - or even largely - of facts and happenings  (Largely Quotes) Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage, which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful, it’s just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.  (Largely Quotes) I’m largely interested in people who are just great actors, and they’re not necessarily hugely famous.  (Largely Quotes) Edgar Degas’s famous sculpture, ‘Little Dancer Aged Fourteen,’ served as my muse for ‘The Painted Girls.’ I came upon a television documentary on the work, and as someone who held the sculpture in high esteem and who largely considered ballet to be the high-minded pursuit of privileged young girls, I was struck by what I would learn.  (Largely Quotes) Theatre is done largely for the love of the craft. Television makes you famous. And films immortalize you. That’s the relationship between the three.  (Largely Quotes) All human behavior, all human motivations, all man’s hopes and fears, were heavily colored and largely controlled by mankind’s tragic and oddly beautiful pattern of reproduction.  (Largely Quotes) All this history...,’ Danny says, then trails off. Lost in it. Feeling it connect. Realizing the weight of the world comes largely from its past.  (Largely Quotes) So many of the fantasy stories I encountered growing up were set in worlds that were largely modelled on medieval Europe in one way or another. Lots of white folks in feudal societies, castles and kings, that kind of thing.  (Largely Quotes) People love gossip because it’s slightly removed from actuality. It’s a very literary thing... You can hear a great story, and it turns out that it’s largely not true. Fiction writing is like gossip. It’s not malicious gossip, but it’s gossip.  (Largely Quotes)
