Material Quotes

Perhaps the most reliable route to meaning and joy, to plunging below the surface and seeking more than the superficiality of material ambition, is connection with people, places, ideas and issues. Of these, the most important are people and relationships. And the most reliable route to relationships is conversation Picture Quote #1

Time is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible, without it nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, an affair genuinely astonishing when one examines it Picture Quote #1

When I think of a place of worship, I think of a place where one can sit and be reminded of all the things that are important outside our individual lives. To express spirituality, the architect has to think of the original material of architecture, space and light Picture Quote #1

Generosity is not limited to the giving of material things. We can be generous with our kindness and receptivity. Generosity can mean the simple giving of a smile or extending ourselves to really listen to a friend. Paradoxically, even being willing to receive the generosity of others can be a form of generosity Picture Quote #1

In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions Picture Quote #1

Releasing the chains to the material means experiencing life within each cell, moment to moment, each moment renewed Picture Quote #1

Light and color are closely linked. The colors can make a crucial change in nature, if you switch from daylight to artificial light or just from strong to weak illumination. In addition, color perception is affected by the material structure. Even if a piece of textile can have the same color as a shiny enamel plate, then they will act completely different Picture Quote #1

Movie studios aren’t making too many dramas anymore; they’re in the superhero business. Material for television is much, much stronger for actors now Picture Quote #1

I want to find material that piques my interest, keeps me outside the box and challenges me Picture Quote #1

$If only a small fraction of what is already known about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive, that material would promptly be banned Picture Quote #1$

The cause of happiness and the solution to our problems do not lie in knowledge of material things. Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind. If we want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must learn how to control our mind Picture Quote #1

Briefly, in the act of composition, as an instrument there intervenes and is most potent, fire, flaming, fervid, hot; but in the very substance of the compound there intervenes, as an ingredient, as it is commonly called, as a material principle and as a constituent of the whole compound the material and principle of fire, not fire itself. This I was the first to call phlogiston Picture Quote #1

Every computer divides itself into its hardware and its software, the machine host to its algorithm, the human being to his mind. It is hardly surprising that men and women have done what computers now do long before computers could do anything at all. The dissociation between mind and matter in men and machines is very striking; it suggests that almost any stable and reliable organization of material objects can execute an algorithm and so come to command some form of intelligence Picture Quote #1

Keep a sharp lookout upon your materials; get rid of every pound of material you can do without; put to yourself the question what business has it to be there?, avoid complexities, and make everything as simple as possible Picture Quote #1

Possessing material comforts in no way guarantees happiness. Only spiritual wealth can bring true true happiness Picture Quote #1

I felt, if I’m going to take on some of the most overdone material, which is men and women and affairs and betrayal of friends, I had better have a new take on it. I think my films come from a desperation not to be boring Picture Quote #1

What the problem was was this colossal redundancy, the squandering of brilliant technique on cheap material, Picture Quote #1

If there is anything material and we’re not reporting it, we’ll be breaking the law. We don’t break the law Picture Quote #1

I quickly convinced myself that the true key to material happiness lay in a modest standard of living which could be achieved with little difficulty under almost all economic conditions Picture Quote #1

We live in a vastly complex society which has been able to provide us with a multitude of material things, and this is good, but people are beginning to suspect we have paid a high spiritual price for our plenty Picture Quote #1

The bulk of my calls are from agents who are letting you know about material that’s coming your way Picture Quote #1

I have tried to put myself in the position of someone seeing economics for the first time. My goal is to emphasize the material that students should and do find interesting about the study of the economy Picture Quote #1

I think that the consumer is generally unaware of certain material facts, particularly the tax risk and compensation issues Picture Quote #1

For me photography is just a way to collect material to realize the ideas in my mind. I get inspired by things around me in my daily life and all kinds of things I see. Every new project is a new challenge and my goal is to realize them as realistic as possible Picture Quote #1

I do have strong convictions and political opinions, but I don’t think it’s necessary to imbue my photographic work with them. I use photography as a vessel for visual material to flow through, to encourage conversation with the viewer. I try to present a catalyst and invite viewers to tell their own stories Picture Quote #1

Profit is proof that the capitalist has given something to society that it cherishes more than the material wealth it has given to the businessman Picture Quote #1

I strive to seek new material that fit into the logic of construction, while performing services appropriate to real needs Picture Quote #1

A seed is really something spiritual as much as it is something material. It contains a life spark that allows the regenerative process to happen. We need seeds because they are the physical manifestation of that concept that we call hope Picture Quote #1

It is the artist’s function not to copy but to synthesise: to eliminate from that gross confusion of actuality which is his raw material whatever is accidental, idle, irrelevant, and select for perpetuation that only which is appropriate and immortal Picture Quote #1

Why should the search for happiness be only or essentially material and mental? Aren’t there untold riches too in the moral, the sentimental and the spiritual realms? Picture Quote #1
