Life is all about change. If it were static, think about how boring it would be. You can't be afraid of it, and you can't worry that you'll mess things up. You deserve good things, and I want to be one of them.
Ellen Hopkins

The State, every government whatever its form, character or color - be it absolute or constitutional, monarchy or republic, Fascist, Nazi or bolshevik - is by its very nature conservative, static, intolerant of change and opposed to it.
Emma Goldman
Image
Democracy is a process, not a static condition. It is becoming, rather than being. It can be easily lost, but is never finally won.
William H. Hastie
Image
Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
Andrew Stanton
Image
I wish I knew exactly who I was. I was talking to a friend earlier about the advice people give each other, advice like just be yourself, and how this is particularly awful because it presumes we know who we are. As if people are static and unchanging.
Mary J. Miller
Image
It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce a sort of insecurity which some find titillating.
Stephen Bayley
Image
Why must art be static? You look at an abstraction, sculptured or painted, an entirely exciting arrangement of planes, spheres, nuclei, entirely without meaning. It would be perfect but it is always still. The next step in sculpture is motion.
Alexander Calder
Image
Nothing is static. Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart. Since fight club, I can wiggle half the teeth in my jaw. Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer. Maybe self-destruction is the answer.
Chuck Palahniuk

Mathematics, in the common lay view, is a static discipline based on formulas...But outside the public view, mathematics continues to grow at a rapid rate...the guid to this growth is not calculation and formulas, but an open ended search for pattern.

My photographs are not just about the instant of movement you capture in the camera. It's much more total, about constant movement that became static.
Gabriel Orozco
Image
You want to know the biggest illusion about success? That it's like a pinnacle to be climbed, a thing to be possessed, or a static result to be achieved. If you want to succeed, if you want to achieve all your outcomes, you have to think of success as a process, a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life.
Tony Robbins
Image
I do believe motion pictures are the significant art form of our time. And I think the main reason is, they're an art form of movement, as opposed to static art forms of previous times.
Roger Corman
Image
For something that is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way or a definite path but not for anything that is moving and living.
Bruce Lee
Image
Genuine peace must be the product of many nations, the sum of many acts. It must be dynamic, not static, changing to meet the challenge of each new generation. For peace is a process-a way of solving problems.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. Space is not a static, inert thing. Space is alive space is dynamic space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.
Hans Hofmann
Image
In more static societies, like Ireland, you can tell where a person is from by their surname, or where their grandparents are from.
Anne Enright
Image
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
John Locke
Image
By phonemic trans-formation into visual terms, the alphabet became a universal, abstract, static container of meaningless sounds.
Marshall McLuhan
Image
Our problem isn't that we're individualists. It's that our individualism is static rather than dynamic. We value what we think rather than what we do. We forget that we haven't done, or been, what we thought that the first function of life is action, just as the first property of things is motion.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Life is neither static nor unchanging. With no individuality, there can be no change, no adaptation and, in an inherently changing world, any species unable to adapt is also doomed.
Jean M. Auel
Image
Jesus Christ was the most perfect being to ever walk this planet and he was persecuted and nailed to the cross … so please don’t be surprised when we get a little static.
Phil Robertson
Image
For me the most interesting characters are outwardly static, but inwardly charged by an overriding passion.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
I realize that if I were stable, prudent and static I'd live in death. Therefore I accept confusion, uncertainty, fear and emotional ups and downs because that's the price I'm willing to pay for a fluid, perplexed and exciting life.
Carl Rogers
Image
I think [Nikola Tesla] was always like that. And so it was inevitable that he would be an inventor. Because it was so easy for him to think fourth-dimensionally, dynamically. It wasn't just a static thing with him. In other words, it isn't the way an architect thinks, which is essentially static.
