I want to make it clear: it's not that I hate mainstream cinema. It's perfectly fine. There are a lot of people who need to escape, because they are in very difficult situations, so they have the right to escape from the world. But this has nothing to do with an art form.
Michael Haneke

Zimbabweans are so smart and witty and able to weave together tons of situations and experiences into terminologies that are just utterly original.
Danai Gurira
Image
Music, great music, distends the spirit, arouses profound emotions and almost naturally invites us to raise our minds and hearts to God in all situations of human existence, the joyful and the sad. Music can become prayer.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
I think we all spend, sometimes, more time at our jobs than we do at home, and there are people that we wouldn't necessarily choose to spend so much time with. So those irritations and those, just those situations I think are really relatable.
Jenna Fischer

You have to go out of your way as a suspense novelist to find situations where the protagonists are somewhat helpless and in real danger.
Nelson DeMille
Image
You know the bad thing about being a survivor... You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift.
Carrie Fisher
Image
On certain plays and situations I feel like I have the advantage. But sometimes I just have to not think about the size of the guy in front of me.
Dante Hall
Image
I tend to come up with people more than situations - most of my books start with a character.
Jane Haddam
Image
When dissonance is present, in addition to trying to reduce it, the person will actively avoid situations and information which would likely increase the dissonance.
Leon Festinger
Image
You just never know with contract situations and the whole business side of it. I'm here now and I'm happy to be here now. The future will take care of itself.
Darrelle Revis
Image
Boycotts don't work. They work in certain isolated situations, where you have some potential. But in the main, the best way to bring about freedom in a society is to normalize, have tourism, have trade, have contact.
Robert Scheer
Image
In various ways all of us should be constantly finding people and situations that are dead, buried, and covered up in order to help bring them to the light because THE GOD THAT WE SERVE is a God of LIGHT, a God of LOVE, and a God of CARING.
Millard Fuller

An organizer working in and for an open society is in an ideological dilemma to begin with, he does not have a fixed truth - truth to him is relative and changing everything to him is relative and changing.... To the extent that he is free from the shackles of dogma, he can respond to the realities of the widely different situations.
Saul Alinsky
Image
I don't like when things don't match. I love some Eighties fashion, like Grace Jones but primary colours only work in certain situations.
Kemp Muhl

It is not often that nations learn from the past even rarer that they draw the correct conclusions from it. For the lessons of historical experience, as of personal experience, are contingent. They teach the consequences of certain actions, but they cannot force a recognition of comparable situations.
Henry A. Kissinger

The idea of songwriting is a transformative thing, and what I do with songwriting is take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else.
Nick Cave

I've got friends who are so good at getting away with things, like going up to the desk to get upgraded on a plane, for example. I haven't got any of that kind of confidence in those situations. I look so awkward. I act awkward. I'm really apologetic. I fail to get anything that way.
Ruth Wilson

I'm always trying to pop up in different genres, what interests me. Sometimes I just like to throw myself into new situations to see what it feel like.
Dylan McDermott
Image
In most Life Situations, the truth is irrelevant. Once in a great while, however, it's the only thing you've got.
Bradley Denton

Going in is really more of an acknowledgment that kids in poverty, in their situations, can get out of it, and it doesn't always come from sports.
Marshall Faulk
Image
When you have strong views about how to approach thinking about the law, then that view is going to lead to certain results in certain situations. And so people seem to think this predictability is based on some kind of partisan political view. But it's not.
Sonia Sotomayor
Image
Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
If my dreams can happen to me, your dreams can happen to you. Champions are not made on the track or field champions are made by the things you accomplish and the way you use your abilities in everyday life situations.
Bob Beamon
Image
What is it like being single? I like it! I like starting each day with a sense of possibility. And I'm optimistic, because everyday I get a little more desperate. And desperate situations yield the quickest results.
