Spectator Quotes

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned Picture Quote #1

I am not talking about you being a spectator, I am talking about involvement. I am talking about involving yourself into life in such a way that you dissolve into it Picture Quote #1

Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence Picture Quote #1

Christianity is not a spectator sport. It’s something in which we become totally involved Picture Quote #1

I do feel for me that cinema has somehow ceased to be a spectator sport. I get tremendous excitement out of making it rather than watching it Picture Quote #1

A work should convey its entire meaning by itself, imposing it on the spectator even before he knows what the subject is Picture Quote #1

A work should contain its total meaning within itself and should impress it on the spectator before he even knows the subject Picture Quote #1

However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the lay, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned Picture Quote #1

Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him Picture Quote #1

We have already noticed the difference in the attitude of a spectator and of an agent or participant. The former is indifferent to what is going on; one result is just as good as another, since each is just something to look at. The latter is bound up with what is going on; its outcome makes a difference to him Picture Quote #1

I will begin with what in my opinion is your lack of restraint. You are like a spectator in a theatre who expresses his enthusiasm so unrestrainedly that he prevents himself and others from hearing. That lack of restraint is particularly noticeable in the descriptions of nature with which you interrupt dialogues; when one reads them, these descriptions, one wishes they were more compact, shorter, say two or three lines Picture Quote #1

Very great charm of shadow and light is to be found in the faces of those who sit in the doors of dark houses. The eye of the spectator sees that part of the face which is in shadow lost in the darkness of the house, and that part of the face which is lit draws its brilliancy from the splendour of the sky. From this intensification of light and shade the face gains greatly in relief and beauty by showing the subtlest shadows in the light part and the subtlest lights in the dark part Picture Quote #1

3. It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way not his way Picture Quote #1

A mere copier of nature can never produce any thing great, can never raise and enlarge the conceptions, or warm the heart of the spectator Picture Quote #1

To become the spectator of one’s own life is to escape the suffering of life Picture Quote #1

A work of art is said to be perfect in proportion as it does not remind the spectator of the process by which it was created Picture Quote #1

Refinement creates beauty everywhere. It is the grossness of the spectator that discovers anything like grossness in the object Picture Quote #1

Will you be a spectator or a citizen? To make a difference in this world, you must be involved Picture Quote #1

The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator, and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists Picture Quote #1

Good spectator sports share certain fundamentals. Their competitors battle head-to-head. Their winners are determined objectively: fastest runner, most points. They are refereed, not judged Picture Quote #1

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that’s never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies Picture Quote #1

I’m doing a book, ‘Chasing Science,’ about the pleasures of science as a spectator sport Picture Quote #1

The American people are sheep. They’re comfortable, rich, working. It’s like the Romans, they’re happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right Picture Quote #1

No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even if it be only the faintest shadow - and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals Picture Quote #1

In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator Picture Quote #1

People are very afraid of any controversy. We’ve become very passive spectator types. And when the kids were protesting globilization - quite reasonably - they really got bashed Picture Quote #1

Personally, I’ve never understood inactivity. Why a person would sit when he could soar, be a spectator when he could play, or atrophy when he could develop...is beyond me! Picture Quote #1

Today, I am an inquisitor. I shall not sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution Picture Quote #1

The illusion of magic is an idealistic fantasy; it exists only in the imagination of the spectator Picture Quote #1
