Text Quotes
Doing anything when you’re bored is very very boring. Anyway, doing nothing is the point of being bored. The pleasure of being bored ismooning about and doing nothing  (Point Quotes) Heat may be considered, either in respect of its quantity, or of its intensity. Thus two lbs. of water, equally heated, must contain double the quantity that one of them does, though the thermometer applied to them separately, or together, stands at precisely the same point, because it requires double the time to heat two lbs. as it does to heat one  (Point Quotes) Above all we need, particularly as children, the reassuring presence of a visible community, an intimate group that enfolds us with understanding and love, and that becomes an object of our spontaneous loyalty, as a criterion and point of reference for the rest of the human race  (Point Quotes) Writing is rewriting. A writer must learn to deepen characters, trim writing, intensify scenes. To fall in love with the first draft to the point where one cannot change it is to greatly enhance the prospects of never publishing  (Point Quotes) One can say that in the last decades chess has become more of a sport than of a science. I see it from an artistic point of view  (Point Quotes) I always choose an area that is of personal interest, but I don’t plan my travels in detail. There are so many variables one cannot predict: the changing light, weather, personal mood, and often just plain luck. Of course, you must have a starting point, so I establish some fixed points then improvise as I go. In many cases the locations seem to choose me  (Point Quotes) I am not an artist, and I never intended to be one. I hope I have made some good photographs, but what I really hope is that I have done some good photo stories with memorable images that make a point, and, perhaps, even make a difference  (Point Quotes) What is the subject matter of this apparently very personal world? It has been suggested that these shapes and images are underworld characters, the inhabitants of the vast common realm of memories that have gone down below the level of conscious control. It may be they are. The degree of emotional involvement and the amount of free association with the material being photographed would point in that direction  (Point Quotes) The photograph is not only a pictorial report; it is also a psychological report. It represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera  (Point Quotes) Nature seems to look after her own only up to a certain point; beyond that they are supposed to fend for themselves  (Point Quotes) We’re losing social skills, the human interaction skills, how to read a person’s mood, to read their body language, how to be patient until the moment is right to make or press a point. Too much exclusive use of electronic information dehumanises what is a very, very important part of community life and living together  (Point Quotes) Words are not truth. Truth is like the moon, and words are like my finger. I can point to the moon with my finger, but my finger is not the moon. Do you need my finger to see the moon?  (Point Quotes) For years I have made the point that progress in winding back economic slack is made not by high growth in any individual year, but by maintaining an expansion over a sustained period  (Point Quotes) We’re at a point in history where everyone needs to pay attention to politics. Too much is at stake for us to be apathetic  (Point Quotes) It seemed as though the main framework had been put together once and for all, and that little remained to be done but to measure physical constants to the increased accuracy represented by another decimal point  (Point Quotes) A second variety concentrated on presumed major transformations of the capitalist system as of some recent point in time, in which the whole earlier point of time served as a mythologized foil against which to treat the empirical reality of the present  (Point Quotes) It is long been a principal of ours that one is no more armed because he has possession of a firearm than he is a musician because he owns a piano. There is no point in having a gun if you are not capable of using it skillfully  (Point Quotes) I knew I could play well on the grass, but I really played so well today. I knew exactly what I had to play to beat her. I just did everything I could in the moment. I was very focused for every point. I knew that I had to go forward for every shot I was playing to push her back, and yeah, I did it  (Point Quotes) What is the point of making the film if the man doesn’t marry the girl?  (Point Quotes) The true test is, whether the object be of a local character, and local use; or, whether it be of general benefit to the states. If it be purely local, congress cannot constitutionally appropriate money for the object. But, if the benefit be general, it matters not, whether in point of locality it be in one state, or several; whether it be of large, or of small extent  (Point Quotes) I have to wonder at what point the people fighting to protect marriage will realize that traditional couples haven’t exactly been doing too good a job of it so far  (Point Quotes) The determination of the average man is not merely a matter of speculative curiosity; it may be of the most important service to the science of man and the social system. It ought necessarily to precede every other inquiry into social physics, since it is, as it were, the basis. The average man, indeed, is in a nation what the centre of gravity is in a body; it is by having that central point in view that we arrive at the apprehension of all the phenomena of equilibrium and motion  (Point Quotes) The last thinkg I want to do is spend the rest of my life pretending to be 17 or 27. Now it’s pretty interesting to me to see what can be said in the point of view of where I am now  (Point Quotes) Songwriting can be cathartic, but then you just keep it private. If you’re going to play out and have other people listen to you, then you need to make sure there’s some point to what you’re saying  (Point Quotes) The highest point of music for me is to become in a place where there is no desire, no craving, wanting to do anything else. It is the best place you have ever been, and yet there is nothing there  (Point Quotes) One of the reasons my father... became a dentist was so he could always be home for dinner and spend weekends with his family. At one point he had thought about being a musician, but he said, I’m not going to do that because I’d be on the road all the time and I wouldn’t be with my family  (Point Quotes) Writing a song isn’t that hard. Writing a good song is difficult. Let’s face it, we’re faced with taking a complex feeling or event, making words rhyme and saying exactly what we want them to say in a short amount of time... the primary reason for keeping it short and to the point is to be certain that you’re not boring your audience  (Point Quotes) Kristofferson was writing what was really in his heart and saying it in ways we hadn’t heard up till that point  (Point Quotes) The positive outlook that optimists project does not come from ignoring or denying problems. Optimists simply assume that problems are temporary and can be solved, so optimists naturally want more information about problems because then they can get to work and do something. Pessimists are more likely to believe that there is nothing they can do anyway, so what’s the point of even thinking about it?  (Point Quotes) It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group. Others have had the advantage of organization for centuries, so what seems to them unnecessary, from a racial point of view, becomes necessary to us, who have had to labor all along under the disadvantage of being scattered without a racial aim or purpose  (Point Quotes)
