Subject the material world to the higher ends by understanding it in all its relations to daily life and action.
Ellen Swallow Richards
Image
Subject is known by what she sees.
Allen Ginsberg

Subject becoming less relevant, each painting having a life of its own, each stroke leading to the next. It is more about the connection of body and spirit to canvas, over mind to canvas.
Ken Gillespie
Image
Subject has the variety of life.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitors? Fallible men men governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity. But is uniformity of opinion desirable? No more than of face and stature.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Subject matter must be normal in the sense that it does not appear sought after so much as simply happening to one.
Fairfield Porter
Image
I spent nearly two hours deciding on an outfit that would look as if the subject of clothing had never crossed my mind, but would in fact show off my best features and miraculously hide the extra pounds.
Rosanne Cash
Image
A man is allowed sufficient freedom of thought, provided he knows how to choose his subject properly.... But the scene is changed as you come homeward, and atheism or treason may be the names given in Britain to what would be reason and truth if asserted in China.
Edmund Burke
Image
Between the subject and the object lies the value.
Robert M. Pirsig

The intellectual treatment of any datum, any experience, any subject, is determined by the nature of our questions, and only carried out in the answers.

You [as an actor] have a responsibility to Jonathan's book and you have a responsibility to talk about a subject that is going to be, whether it's contentious or not, it's going t bring up a huge, emotional response from people. A lot of people will say they are ready or they're not ready.
Stephen Daldry
Image
Everything that makes diversity of kinds, of species, differences, properties... everything that consists in generation, decay, alteration and change is not an entity, but a condition and circumstance of entity and being, which is one, infinite, immobile, subject, matter, life, death, truth, lies, good and evil.
Giordano Bruno
Image
Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.
George Eliot
Image
Why is the mind incapable of deciding its own subject matter? Why when we desperately want to think of one thing to we invariably think of another?
Jeanette Winterson
Image
If you're going to spend two or three years immersed in a subject, you better be deeply interested in it, or it won't be interesting to the reader.
Beth Richardson Gutcheon
Image
Teachers need to teach the subject rather than to teach the textbook.
James W. Loewen

The laws of England will protect the rights of British subjects, and give a remedy for a grievance committed by one British subject upon another, in whatever country that may be done.
Bayley

Steep yourself in your subject, work like hell, and love, honor and obey your hunches.

For if God is a title of the highest power, He must be incorruptible, perfect, incapable of suffering, and subject to no other being therefore they are not gods whom necessity compels to obey the one greatest God.
Lactantius
Image
On the one hand it is said that the aim and object of music is to excite emotions, i.e., pleasurable emotions on the other hand, the emotions are said to be the subject matter which musical works are intended to illustrate. Both propositions are alike in this, that one is as false as the other.
Eduard Hanslick
Image
Most painting in the European tradition was painting the mask. Modern art rejected all that. Our subject matter was the person behind the mask.
Robert Motherwell
Image
Personally, I prefer contemporary films, but the market calls for more period choices, especially since China opened up a cinema market in Hong Kong. There's a lot of restriction for contemporary films simply because of subject matter.
Donnie Yen
Image
Lectures broke into one's day and were clearly a terrible waste of time, necessary no doubt if you were reading law or medicine or some other vocational subject, but in the case of English, the natural thing to do was talk a lot, listen to music, drink coffee and wine, read books, and go to plays, perhaps be in plays.
Stephen Fry
Image
The Greek word for idiot, literally translated, means one who does not participate in politics. That sums up my conviction on the subject.
