Theme Quotes

Often you will find the opposite situation. The author seems to have interesting ideas, but he is not able to illustrate them with decent examples. If a grandmaster is commenting on one of his own games, then there is usually not any problem: his general thoughts are closely tied up with what is happening on the board. But as soon as he starts writing an article or book on a different theme the difficulties begin, as he may not have suitable material to hand Picture Quote #1

My opening line to my students, and a recurring theme in my classes, was that the big design problem isn’t designing a house for your parents or yourself, a museum, or a toaster, or a book, or whatever. The big design problem is designing your life. It’s by the design of your life that you create the backboard off which you bounce all your thoughts and ideas and creativity. You have to decide what it is that you want to do each day Picture Quote #1

Out of the blending of human and animal stories comes the theme that I hope is inherent in all my books: that man is an inescapable part of all nature, that its welfare is his welfare, that to survive, he cannot continue acting and regarding himself as a spectator looking on from somewhere outside Picture Quote #1

Her theme was happiness: what it was; what it was not; where we might find it, where not; and how, if found, it must be guarded. Never must we confound it with pleasure. Nor think sorrow its exact opposite Picture Quote #1

If you have the temerity to try to dramatize a theme that involves any particular social controversy currently extant... then you’re in deep trouble Picture Quote #1

Loneliness is a long, unbearable pain... There was never a place for me in the scheme of things... I had become a living fantasy on a theme in dark, endless dirges... I made another world, and real men would enter it and they would never really get hurt at all in the vivid, unreal laws of the dream. I caused dreams which caused death. This is my crime Picture Quote #1

Cooking is for capturing the taste of the food and then enhancing it, as a composer may take a theme and then delight us with his variations Picture Quote #1

I always try and come up with a clear theme when I’m making a videogame Picture Quote #1

People think I’m more wild than I am I like going to theme parks, play sports or just hanging out with my friends Picture Quote #1

There is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs Picture Quote #1

I call myself a feminist, not a feminist filmmaker. If somebody asked me if I had a feminist sensibility it would be pretty hard to deny, but is it the theme of my work? Not necessarily. I’m interested in a lot of things Picture Quote #1

When I’m creating characters, I definitely think of theme songs. Writing for me is very visual, so I sometimes think of it in terms of a movie with a soundtrack, and try to transfer that to words Picture Quote #1

The story is the only thing that’s important. Everything else will take care of itself. It’s like what bowlers say. You hear writers talk about character or theme or mood or mode or tense or person. But bowlers say, if you make the spares, the strikes will take care of themselves. If you can tell a story, everything else becomes possible. But without story, nothing is possible, because nobody wants to hear about your sensitive characters if there’s nothing happening in the story. And the same is true with mood. Story is the only thing that’s important Picture Quote #1

If there is one abiding theme in the gym, it’s the withering work in the ring. Those not fit do not survive Picture Quote #1

Stories, as much as we like to talk about them, retrospectively, as emanations of theme or worldview or intention, occur primarily as technical objects when they’re being written. Or at least they do for me. They’re the result of thousands of decisions made at speed during revision Picture Quote #1

The vast majority of beings who incarnate on this planet are at the stage of their evolution where power is the dominant theme. They are learning about power. That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction Picture Quote #1

On the stage... masks are assumed with some regard to procedure; in everyday life, the participants act their parts without consideration either for suitability of scene or for the words spoken by the rest of the cast: the result is a general tendency for things to be brought to the level of farce even when the theme is serious enough Picture Quote #1

The challenge to writers today, I think, is not to disown any part of our heritage. Whatever our theme in writing, it is old and tried. Whatever our place, it has been visited by the stranger, it will never be new again. It is only the vision that can be new; but that is enough Picture Quote #1

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that Picture Quote #1

Every man may be observed to have a certain strain of lamentation, some peculiar theme of complaint on which he dwells in his moments of dejection Picture Quote #1

My models, my human figures, are never like extras in an interior. They are the main theme of my work. I depend absolutely on my model Picture Quote #1

My greatest affliction... is perhaps the major theme of my writings, the affliction of loneliness that follows me like a shadow, a very ponderous shadow too heavy to drag after me all of my days and nights Picture Quote #1

The world has witnessed the rise and fall of monarchy, the rise and fall of dictatorship, the rise and fall of feudalism, the rise and fall of communism, and the rise of democracy; and now we are witnessing the fall of democracy... the theme of the evolution of life continues, sweeping away with it all that does not blossom into perfection Picture Quote #1

It’s like being at a theme park every time you go to a training session Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, indeed often, we work on a theme with an unformed idea, and, when it has passed through the process, its final result is something we could never have predicted when we commenced Picture Quote #1

If I can’t find a theme, I can’t make a film anyone else will feel. I can’t laugh at intellectual humor. I’m just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart Picture Quote #1

The theme of exile is attractive to me, because it’s sort of like the family business. Not just music, but travel Picture Quote #1

Reminding people what in reality it is all about, giving them a theme on which to ponder, creating a shock within them, pulling them out of the delusion of non authenticity, enabling them to become aware of their true possibilities Picture Quote #1

It is not extraordinary that the extraterrestrial origin of women was a recurrent theme of science fiction Picture Quote #1

We can ask for a dream of guidance on any issue that is facing us, and when we’re lucky the dream can take us out of the boxes of the everyday mind’s approach to that theme Picture Quote #1
