Spectator Quotes

There are really two types of laughter on the part of the spectator. There is the laughter of recognition - which means seeing things you’re familiar with and laughing at yourself. But there’s also hysterical laughter - a way of dealing with the things we see that upset us Picture Quote #1

I can find no words for what I feel. My consciousness is withdrawn into itself; I hear my heart beating, and my life passing. It seems to me that I have become a statue on the banks of the river of time, that I am the spectator of some mystery, and shall issue from it old, or no longer capable of age Picture Quote #1

You cannot say, ‘Go! Go! Rah! Rah! Good move!’ People want some emotion. Chess is an art and not a spectator sport Picture Quote #1

[On being told by a horse show spectator that she looked like Princess Anne:] I think I’m a bit better-looking than she is Picture Quote #1

My films require that the spectator ask the big existential questions. If you’re not interested of turning inwards for answers, my films won’t fulfill their whole purpose Picture Quote #1

Cinema builds memories; great films continue to exist in the spectator’s mind. We are naturally capable of and prone to nostalgia. A spectator will reconstruct a film he or she has seen, years later, and may even change their original opinion. One critic, for example, once gave the finger to one of my films; later he wrote me to apologize Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen descriptions of advanced TV systems in which a simulation of reality is computer-controlled; the TV viewer of the future will wear a special helmet. You’ll no longer be an external spectator to fiction created by others, but an active participant in your own fantasies/dramas Picture Quote #1

There’s something that happens in that delivery room, when a woman becomes ten times more a woman, and a guy becomes six times less a man. You feel really dopey and useless and like a spectator. I did, anyway Picture Quote #1

Both cinematic culture and the culture at large have changed profoundly. We’re now in post-cinematic digital culture, and the internet has obviously usurped movies, which are no longer central to our lives, at least not as a collective spectator experience Picture Quote #1

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

Never keep staring at the dreams you have on the paperDon’t just live like a spectator. You have the power, you have the mine, you have the skills, you can dribble your obstacles to get your goals moving to the other Picture Quote #1

Never keep staring at the dreams you have on the paper... Don’t just live like a spectator. You have the power, you have the mine, you have the skills, you can dribble your obstacles to get your goals moving to the other Picture Quote #1

We have been deformed by educational and religious institutions that treat us as members of an audience instead of actors in a drama, so we become adults who treat democracy as a spectator sport Picture Quote #1

Everyone is equal and everyone is forced to participate; you can’t just be a spectator Picture Quote #1

In constructing the plot and working it out with the proper diction, the poet should place the scene, as far as possible, before his eyes. In this way, seeing everything with the utmost vividness, as if he were a spectator of the action, he will discover what is in keeping with it, and be most unlikely to overlook inconsistencies Picture Quote #1

I realized very soon the danger of repeating indiscriminately (forms of) expression... for the spectator even more than for the artist, art is a habit forming drug and I wanted to protect my (art) against such contamination Picture Quote #1

Perhaps future space probes will be plastered in commercial logos, just as Formula One cars are now. Perhaps Robot Wars in space will be a lucrative spectator sport. If humans venture back to the moon, and even beyond, they may carry commercial insignia rather than national flags Picture Quote #1

Why did God make tigers so good at catching prey, and at the same time make prey so good at getting away from tigers? You’d think that if God wanted one thing or the other to happen he’d have engineered it rather better. Maybe he enjoyed the spectator sport? Picture Quote #1

Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life Picture Quote #1

I’m not the sort of person who poses in their underwear. I hate the red carpet. I prefer the green grass. After the games the highlights show mostly the goals, scoring chances, assists. The spectator tends not to remember that as a goalkeeper I make difficult saves at great risk and start moves with my efforts Picture Quote #1

Life, it is true, can be grasped in all its confused futility merely by opening one’s eyes and sitting passively, a spectator on the stands of history - but to understand the social processes and conflicts, the interplay between individual and group, even the physicality of human experience, we have need of small-scale models Picture Quote #1

From a spectator point of view, Test cricket is not important; people hardly watch Test cricket. But as a player, Tests are the real thing. You have to concentrate for five days. It’s a lot of time, and not easy to do it day in and day out. If people have played 70-100 Tests, it’s a lot of cricket, a lot of concentration and dedication Picture Quote #1

The purpose of any healthy relationship is to find someone that will magnify your life’s experiences, not tolerate it or become a spectator of it Picture Quote #1

I do believe that it is extremely important that each one of us is a participant in life and what’s going on around us rather than being a spectator to it and if you do that, if you participate in the world, in your community, your school, your company, or your country, whatever.. they you will be useful and hopefully leave the planet a little better Picture Quote #1
