Seems Quotes

For men to focus on controlling women’s reproduction to solve a society’s problems seems nothing short of mad or, at best, superstitious. But men’s superstition or insanity has real and dire consequences for the women who are its object. And states, too, home in on women’s bodies, perhaps to create the illusion that men are in control of uncontrollable forces. Indeed, almost all governments try to control women’s bodies and regulate their appearance in some way Picture Quote #1

Ahead of me lies the familiar litany: weakening of the heart, hardening of the arteries, increasing brittleness of bones, decreases in kidney filtration rates, lower resistance of the immune system, and loss of memory. The list could be extended almost indefinitely. Evolution seems indeed to have arranged things so that all our systems deteriorate, and that we invest in repair only as much as we are worth Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that maybe pretty much always means no. So don’t tell me, I might just let it go Picture Quote #1

We are sliding back into a dark era, and there seems little we can do about it. I am profoundly depressed at just how difficult it has become merely to get a realistic conversation started on issues such as climate change or genetically modified organisms Picture Quote #1

What’s great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day Picture Quote #1

Women’s humor seems to be a little more supportive. It’s just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like I’m going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys Picture Quote #1

I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that’s sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script Picture Quote #1

It seems to be part of the human condition to need someone you can look down on. I still don’t get that one Picture Quote #1

I don’t stand in anybody else’s way of accomplishing their dreams, and I don’t like people standing in my way, either. That seems like a hostile thing to do Picture Quote #1

I can see a version of my life where it all becomes meaningless. On a good day, writing seems noble. Other times, it’s narcissistic and pointless Picture Quote #1

The man in between waits between the two, not hearing the lie and not seeing the true. Unknowing what is and denying what seems, and there he will sleep, the man in between Picture Quote #1

In truth, to know oneself seems to be the hardest of all things. Not only our eye, which observes external objects, does not use the sense of sight upon itself, but even our mind, which contemplates intently another’s sin, is slow in the recognition of its own defects Picture Quote #1

It seems that the only gun violence some leftists approve of is gun violence aimed at cops and other groups they see as oppressive or racist Picture Quote #1

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front Picture Quote #1

Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist Picture Quote #1

Radical innovation is difficult to fund. It seems scary. And the really radical things seem even more scary Picture Quote #1

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses Picture Quote #1

One of the big misapprehensions about mathematics that we perpetrate in our classrooms is that the teacher always seems to know the answer to any problem that is discussed. This gives students the idea that there is a book somewhere with all the right answers to all of the interesting questions, and that teachers know those answers. And if one could get hold of the book, one would have everything settled. That’s so unlike the true nature of mathematics Picture Quote #1

Everyone says corruption is everywhere, but for me it seems strange to say that and then not try to put the people guilty of that corruption away Picture Quote #1

I’m still very much an atheist, except that I don’t necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that’s a weird thing that I’m struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious Picture Quote #1

Congress seems to thrive on breaking promises and passing unfunded mandates down to local government. It’s really just a matter of priorities Picture Quote #1

I know that the writers I read and admire all have an influence on my work, but trying to determine to what degree any particular piece of input changes the way I think about writing seems counterproductive Picture Quote #1

Take the particular trick of false names. It seems to us particularly odious. We think when we show our contempt for those who use this subterfuge that we are giving them no more than they deserve. It is a meanness which we associate with criminals and vagabonds; a piece of crawling and sneaking...Men whose race is universally known, will unblushingly adopt a false name as a mask, and after a year or two pretend to treat it as an insult if their original and true name be used in its place Picture Quote #1

Things have a way of moving to the left, and then they move back to the right before somebody finds themselves in the center. That seems to be the nature of the creative world. It’s not stagnant. I don’t get upset about it Picture Quote #1

There are long periods when life seems a small, dull round, a petty business with no point, and then suddenly we are caught up in some great event which gives us a glimpse of the solid and durable foundations of our existence Picture Quote #1

Perhaps no poet is a conscious plagiarist, but there seems to be warrant for suspecting that there is no poet who is not at one time or another an unconscious one Picture Quote #1

You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That’s a jerk Picture Quote #1

This culture seems to be so obsessed with sexuality, the good and the bad of it. Every advertisement, every preacher, everybody’s concerned, one way or the other about sexuality Picture Quote #1

I seem to have a natural tendency to want to share my own observations and feelings with other people, and writing seems to be the way I’m best equipped to do that Picture Quote #1
