Plain Things Quotes

I have a funny mental framework when I do physics. I create an imaginary audience in my head to explain things to - it is part of the way I think. For me, teaching and explaining, even to my imaginary audience, is part of the process Picture Quote #1

When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen Picture Quote #1

I had an instinctive feeling that the people who have little or no school training should have something coming into their homes weekly which dealt with their problems in a simple, helpful way... so I wrote in a plain, common-sense way on the things that concerned our people Picture Quote #1

We are plain quiet folk, and I have no use for adventures. Nasty, disturbing, and uncomfortable things Picture Quote #1

I work very hard on finding good characters who can explain things to me, and I use them to help tell the story. I organize my pieces not just around people but around animals and plants, energy flows, the path that carbon takes through the food system Picture Quote #1

Just because science can’t in practice explain things like the love that motivates a poet to write a sonnet, that doesn’t mean that religion can. It’s a simple and logical fallacy to say, ‘If science can’t do something therefore religion can.’ Picture Quote #1

I would support peaceful co-existence between religion and science because they concern different domains. Anyone who takes theology seriously knows that it’s not a matter of using it to explain things that scientists are mystified by Picture Quote #1

It’s not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things Picture Quote #1

When you buy things that are expensive, like a sofa or something that really feels like an investment, you need to keep it as plain as possible, as simple as possible. Make sure that it’s a clean design that will work with whatever style you want it to Picture Quote #1

I actually like how doctors talk. I like the sound of science. I like how words you don’t understand explain things you can’t understand Picture Quote #1

I see robotic technology getting rid of the dangerous, the dirty, and the just plain boring jobs. Some people say, ‘You can’t. People won’t have anything to do.’ But we found things that were a lot easier than backbreaking labor in the sun and the fields. Let people rise to better things Picture Quote #1

It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn’t a singer I’d probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I’m quite visually greedy. I can’t have things to be plain; I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I’m just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career Picture Quote #1

I'm intrigued by the way in which physical appearance can often direct a person's life; things happen differently for a beautiful woman than for a plain one Picture Quote #1

I have seen some crazy people do some crazy things on my variety show. I have to stop and ask them a lot of the time, just how they figured out that they could do the things that they do, some of it is just plain freaky Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us Picture Quote #1

Official education was telling people almost nothing of the nature of all those things on the seashores, and in the redwood forests, in the deserts and in the plains Picture Quote #1

Enjoy the simple, the natural and the plain. Along with that comes the ability to do things spontaneously and have them work Picture Quote #1

It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good Picture Quote #1

The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses; but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as the creation of his senses Picture Quote #1

It were happy if we studied nature more in natural things; and acted according to nature, whose rules are few, plain, and most reasonable Picture Quote #1

The main things are the plain things, and the plain things are the main things Picture Quote #1

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words Picture Quote #1

The one thing I seek above all else is understanding. Sometimes I’m so frustrated and I don’t get it. But I’m lucky to have a good management team and people around me who explain things and answer my questions Picture Quote #1

You gotta be able to explain things to yourself when the lights go off and you get in the bed. You gotta deal with you at the end of the day Picture Quote #1

History had its own way of explaining things. The way historians explain things is by telling a story Picture Quote #1

Biologists can be divided into two classes: experimentalists who observe things that cannot be explained, and theoreticians who explain things that cannot be observed Picture Quote #1

I believe you shouldn’t force the audience’s interpretation of a character or a story. The more you explain things, the less intriguing and imaginable they are for viewers... Film to me, in its essence, in its ultimate nature, is silent. Music and dialogue are there to fill what is lacking in the image. But you should be able to tell the story with moving pictures alone. For my next project, though, I’d like to make the kind of film where the characters blabber all the time Picture Quote #1

Golf can be tougher than tennis when things go wrong, because you can’t explain things by saying that your opponent played better than you. It’s a cruel sport in that way Picture Quote #1

We do have tendency, now in biology especially to make up stories, to make theoretical biology a kind of game, in fact we have game theory in biology which is meant to use the theory of games to make predictions or explain things Picture Quote #1
