Text Quotes
Behind it was that vast suspension bridge which always troubles me because it reminds me that in this mechanized age I am as little able to understand my environment as any primitive woman who thinks that a waterfall is inhabited by a spirit, and indeed less so, for her opinion might from a poetical point of view be correct (Primitive Quotes)
Ballet is like football. I don’t understand a footballer’s technique but I can see when he’s playing brilliantly. People don’t like ballet because they think they don’t understand it. Actually they do. It’s the most primitive form of appeal (Primitive Quotes)
Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that’s all. I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child (Primitive Quotes)
If my university years taught me anything, it was that the smarter a woman’s background, the more primitive her bedchamber (Primitive Quotes)
She seemed to belong to that pagan, primitive kingdom of birds and forests where everything was infinitely abundant, wild, blooming, and royal in its perpetual decay, death, and rebirth; illicit and clashing with the human world (Primitive Quotes)
If the path has been laid down, why the successive appearance of different teachers? Why would anyone reinvent the wheel, if everything were as cosy and sequential as primitive longing so easily convinces us? (Primitive Quotes)
My musical knowledge is so bad it’s embarrassing. When composers discuss music with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in terms of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo (Primitive Quotes)
This is still a very primitive age, and I’m afraid they may not get much further here (Primitive Quotes)
The attempt to regulate, control, and prescribe all manner of conduct and social relations is very old. It was always the practice of primitive peoples (Primitive Quotes)
And, to prevent mistakes, I must advertize you, that I now mean by elements, as those chymists that speak plainest do by their principles, certain primitive or simple, or perfectly unmingled bodies; which not being made of any other bodies, or of one another, are the ingredients of which all those called perfectly mixt bodies are immediately compounded, and into which they are ultimately resolved: now whether there be any such body to be constantly met with in all, and each, of those that are said to be elemented bodies, is the thing I now question (Primitive Quotes)
Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses (Primitive Quotes)
If evolution and the survival of the fittest be true at all, the destruction of prey and of human rivals must have been among the most important.... It is just because human bloodthirstiness is such a primitive part of us that it is so hard to eradicate, especially when a fight or a hunt is promised as part of the fun (Primitive Quotes)
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence (Primitive Quotes)
In a way, painting is like wine: it is as old, as simple, as primitive and as varied. Like wine, it is a very specific means of expression, with a limited vocabulary, but vast in its expressive potential (Primitive Quotes)
Art addresses itself to the mind, and not to the eyes. It has always been considered in this way by primitive peoples, and they are right (Primitive Quotes)
With the most primitive means the artist creates something which the most ingenious and efficient technology will never be able to create (Primitive Quotes)
The common view of marriage as a primitive institution implies in the man more than arbitrary superiority, such as he exercised over the child, which still remained free. The woman’s slavery was assumed to be for life (Primitive Quotes)
To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission. It roots in a bare wisdom that exists in senses more than mind, a wisdom that, in primitive form, evolved the mind which so often overlooks it (Primitive Quotes)
I’m not a real gadgety person. In fact, some people think that I’m kind of primitive (Primitive Quotes)
Comprehensibility is the highest law of all. Unity must be there. There must be means of ensuring it. All the things familiar to us from primitive life must also be used in works of art (Primitive Quotes)
A very little familiarity with the poor districts of any city is sufficient to show how primitive and genuine are the neighborly relations (Primitive Quotes)
No human society is too primitive to have some kind of literature. The only thing is that primitive literature hasn’t yet become distinguished from other aspects of life: it’s still embedded in religion, magic and social ceremonies (Primitive Quotes)
The institution of a leisure class has emerged gradually during the transition from primitive savagery to barbarism; or more precisely, during the transition from a peaceable to a consistently warlike habit of life (Primitive Quotes)
I’m not a pessimist. Maybe I don’t have a primitive feeling of happiness, that is true. Sometimes my color is happy but not the expression (Primitive Quotes)
It is important to bear in mind the now commonly accepted fact that in its primitive stages, religion had nothing to do with morals as understood by us today (Primitive Quotes)
What primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about (Primitive Quotes)
Running is a simple, primitive act, and therein lays its power. For it is one of the few commonalities left between us as a human race (Primitive Quotes)
Nature, who permits no two leaves to be exactly alike, has given a still greater diversity to human minds. Imitation, then, is a double murder; for it deprives both copy and original of their primitive existence (Primitive Quotes)
