Major Quotes

I am not greedy. I do not seek to possess the major portion of your days. I am content if, on those rare occasions whose truth can be stated only by poetry, you will, perhaps, recall an image, even only the aura of my films Picture Quote #1

I have been curious about the mind and body for as long as I can remember. I was a gymnast, a ballet dancer, and a philosophy and physical therapy major. Following the thread of curiosity about mind and body, I took my first yoga class in 1980 and knew from the start that it would be a lifelong passion Picture Quote #1

I really don’t care much about baseball, or looking at ball games, major or minor. All my interest in baseball is in its statistics Picture Quote #1

Since I’ve become more observant of how bikes and cars interact, I’ve decided that bicyclists have two major safety threats: cars and themselves Picture Quote #1

I went to college. I had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling Picture Quote #1

The only things that distinguish the photographer from everybody else are his pictures: they alone are the basis for our special interest in him. If pictures cannot be understood without knowing details of the artist’s private life, then that is a reason for faulting them; major art, by definition, can stand independent of its maker Picture Quote #1

There is no use in one person attempting to tell another what the meaning of life is. It involves too intimate an awareness. A major part of the meaning of life is contained in the very discovering of it. It is an ongoing experience of growth that involves a deepening contact with reality. To speak as though it were an objective knowledge, like the date of the war of 1812, misses the point altogether. The meaning of life is indeed objective when it is reached, but the way to it is by a path of subjectivities... The meaning of life cannot be told; it has to happen to a person Picture Quote #1

A major part of the meaning of life is contained in the very process of discovering it Picture Quote #1

As an economy measures performance in terms of the creation of money, people become a major source of inefficiency Picture Quote #1

One of the major sources of stress, anxiety, and unhappiness comes from feeling as if your life is out of control Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for the next major hurdle and doing something that the world has never seen Picture Quote #1

If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years Picture Quote #1

I don’t take vacations. I don’t get sick. I don’t observe major holidays. I’m a jack hammer Picture Quote #1

Color is a major element in scale. A small room can have a larger look by the use of closely related values, hues, and intensity. A large room can be made to look smaller by marked contrasts of color and value, hue, and intensity. Value is one of the most important elements. Whether light or dark, little value contrast makes for unity, and sharper contrast makes for stronger punctuation Picture Quote #1

The overscaled compositions being produced by so many abstract painters, which are full of movement and use of color, are ideal example, ideal transformations of an entire wall and entire room... There is no denying that one of the major attractions of these successful large compositions is their structural decorative use in the contemporary scene... That these large canvases can be superbly decorative may not be considered complimentary by some of the artists involved Picture Quote #1

What keeps me writing is that I can only know through writing. My major sense organ is apparently a pencil Picture Quote #1

When you go through a significant injury and have a major career change, you truly do go one year at a time, and you don’t look past what’s going on now, because you are not sure what’s going to happen. Tomorrow is not promised Picture Quote #1

American commercial cinema has long been dominated by men, but I don’t think there has ever been another time when women have been as underrepresented on screen as they are now. The biggest problem isn’t genuinely independent cinema, where lower budgets mean more opportunities for women in front of and behind the camera. The problem is the six major studios that dominate the box office, the entertainment chatter and the popular imagination. Their refusal to hire more female directors is immoral, maybe illegal, and has helped create and sustain a representational ghetto for women Picture Quote #1

Perhaps punctuality is a quality made even more valuable because it is found in so few people. Punctuality is not usually thought of in our day as a major virtue Picture Quote #1

All chronic and degenerative diseases are caused by two and only two major problems, toxicity and deficiency Picture Quote #1

One of the major problems is what we do to the soil, the air, the water and everything, we take in our food Picture Quote #1

When I got into the music industry, I wasn’t focused on being the most famous artist or even getting a major record deal. It was just to make music on my own terms or create my own image, do my own hair, do my own makeup Picture Quote #1

It’s not that we need to form new organizations. It’s simply that we have to awaken to new ways of thinking. I believe it makes no sense to spend a lot of time attacking the current realities. It is time to create the new models that have in them the complexity that makes the older systems obsolete. And to the extent that we can do that, and do that quickly, I think we can provide what will be necessary for a major breakthrough for the future Picture Quote #1

Many of the greatest black athletes of all time played baseball for no money and no recognition. I’m just sorry many major league fans never got to see them play, because many of them were awesome Picture Quote #1

Within the next five years, I predict major changes in the art world and it will look nothing like it did ten years ago. Just like the sport of skateboarding, the new innovators will define the future. I believe the art world will become more vibrant and usher in a strong healthy market for new works Picture Quote #1

We already have an annual wealth tax on homes, the major asset of the middle class. It’s called the property tax. Why not a small annual tax on the value of stocks and bonds, the major assets of the wealthy? Picture Quote #1

I was signed at 19 years old to a major label, and dropped by the time I was 22 Picture Quote #1

We will not build our offensive game plan around our punter. We will not major in punting Picture Quote #1

In early historical civilization, lunar symbols wove together three major metaphorical concepts. The first is the idea of fertility. The moon controls the tides of both water and blood – the sacred fluids of the early religions. The second is the concept of periodic rebirth, symbolized by the moon’s monthly waning and renewal. The third is the notion of continually repeating cycles of change Picture Quote #1

Art must take reality by surprise. It takes those moments which are for us merely a moment, plus a moment, plus another moment, and arbitrarily transforms them into a special series of moments held together by a major emotion Picture Quote #1
