Period Quotes
Text Quotes

After I came back [to China], there was still a long period of time when I felt I had nothing to do. (Period Quotes)
When good media takes a bounded form, and comes once in a period of time, it begs to be consumed as a whole - it creates an engaging experience. We don’t dip in and out of an episode of ‘Game of Thrones,’ after all - we take it in as a whole. Why have we abandoned this concept when it comes to publications, simply because they exist online? (Period Quotes)
Yeah, there was a six-year period where I was pretty much done with show business. During college and then for about two years after college. (Period Quotes)
When I read ‘Stand By Me,’ it was like, ‘This is a look back at the same time period when I was growing up, and it was about kids, but it really felt like what it was like to have those powerful feelings of friendship at age 12.’ That’s what got to me. (Period Quotes)
People in their early 20s are not often considered the target demographic for new plays; musicals have had much more success in exploring that coming-of-age period of life. (Period Quotes)
Punk is an attitude, not a genre, age group, or time period. What’s interesting is trying to define the blues and punk in different ways. They are very close cousins. (Period Quotes)
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged. (Period Quotes)
The area of teenage life is not necessarily rarefied; we’ve all gone through that period. It’s not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic. (Period Quotes)

China has existed within very roughly its present borders for over two millennia and for virtually the whole of that period saw itself as a ‘civilisation state.’ It was only when it was too weak to resist the western powers in the early 20th century that it finally acquiesced in an arrangement that was alien to it. (Period Quotes)
You can’t sit down and write 300 compositions in a three-month period and think that you’re doing it all by yourself. Obviously, there’s something going on here.

When we are busy at work and busy at home, an hour’s walking every day becomes a real luxury. If done alone, the walk injects a period of meditation into the day, and if done in company, it allows space for some really good conversation. (Period Quotes)
As a longtime practitioner of yoga and a person who’s been involved in physical fitness my whole life, I can tell you, yoga helps you achieve altered states of consciousness. It is not just stretching. The only way you can say that it’s stretching is if you haven’t done it, or that you haven’t done it rigorously for a long period of time. (Period Quotes)
Dogs are a really amazing eye opener for us humans because their lives are compressed into such a short period, so we can see them go from puppyhood to adolescence to strong adulthood and then into their sunset years in 10 to 12 years. It really drives home the point of how finite all our lives are. (Period Quotes)
The Oval Office is a place where there’s been, obviously, a lot of amazing experiences over a seven-and-a-half year period. My presidency is one where I’ve had to make some very tough decisions. I guess some presidencies are kind of - were real smooth, there were no real big issues. Well, that’s not the way mine is. (Period Quotes)
But when you’re deprived of it for a lengthy period then you value human companionship. But you have to survive and so you devise all kinds of mental exercises and it’s amazing. (Period Quotes)
Everybody knows about Peter Jackson, ‘The Hobbit’ movies and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ films being made in New Zealand, and to actually have been part of it for such a long period, to live there and to have friends that I will have for life because of that experience, is an amazing thing. (Period Quotes)
It was the most amazing opportunity to work on a period movie and transform Anthony Hopkins into Hitchcock. (Period Quotes)

The 1950s and 1960s had been a period of enormous growth, the highest in American history, maybe in economic history. (Period Quotes)
I believe that if we think back to the period from F.D.R. through, let us say, Bush I, until the end of the Cold War, we lived through an artificial period in which American interests and European interests essentially dovetailed. (Period Quotes)
My idea at this time, which was slowly developing, was to create a comedie humaine with little people, average people - samples from every period in American life. (Period Quotes)
My love for American music and American movies is from an early age. I was 10 or 11 when I heard Fats Domino and Little Richard and Buddy Holly. And the movies, my dad used to take my brother and I to the movies every Friday. It was incredible: we got to see just about every movie that came out for a period of years. (Period Quotes)
One of my best friends, Stephen Sprouse, Bill Dugan, and I worked designing clothes, doing every conceivable thing. New York was a really intoxicating period for me, literally and figuratively. There was a lot of overlap with Andy Warhol, Studio 54, and Halston. (Period Quotes)
My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn’t really have a grace period to grow or anything; people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky. (Period Quotes)
Vegetarianism is not implicitly important for the mental progress or the intellectual development, unless it is supposed to be a remedy to clean the body from slag. A temporary abstinence from meat or animal food is indicated only for very specific magic operations as a sort of preparation, and even then only for a certain period. All this is to be considered with respect to sexual life. (Period Quotes)
I don’t think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. You don’t have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that. (Period Quotes)
The reason I wanted to start directing is that as an actor I felt I came into a job late. There’s a whole team of people who have been working on it for months before you start. You have this really intense period of filming and then you leave it, knowing that the director will work on it for another few months. (Period Quotes)
