Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.
Nikolai Gogol
Image
There is an expectation with a superhero film that there is spectacle and action but there also has to be heart. Striking that balance is really important.
Charles Roven
Image
What a glorious spectacle is that of the labor of man upon the earth! It includes everything in it that is glorious. Look around and tell me what you see, that is worth seeing, that is not the work of your hands and the hands of your fellows--the multitudes of all ages.
Alfred William Howitt
Image
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
Harrison Ford
Image
Show me a man who fishes in winter, and I'll show you a fanatic. Actually, I'll get the better of the deal, because for sheer spectacle a fanatic doesn't hold a candle to a man who fishes in winter
Patrick F. McManus

Sport in the sense of a mass-spectacle, with death to add to the underlying excitement, comes into existence when a population has been drilled and regimented and depressed to such an extent that it needs at least a vicarious participation in difficult feats of strength or skill or heroism in order to sustain its waning life-sense.
Lewis Mumford
Image
The spectacle of a great, solvent government paying a fictitious price for gold it did not want and did not need and doing it on purpose to debase the value of its own paper currency was one to astonish the world.
Garet Garrett
Image
You are always concentrated on the inner thing. The moment one becomes aware of the crowd, performs for the crowd, it is spectacle.
Jean Cocteau
Image
I passed beyond the unreality of the thing represented, I entered crazily into the spectacle, into the image, taking into my arms what is dead, what is going to die.
Roland Barthes
Image
For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it's all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that's the definition of spectacle.
Diane Paulus

I think Barcelona and the Spanish national team have been good for soccer because there are a lot of teams that come up playing from the back : with the goalie, the defense, moving up a defender to midfield, playing attacking soccer. I think fans want to see that. They want to see beautiful soccer, a spectacle, and Barcelona does that.

Cricket is first and foremost a dramatic spectacle. It belongs with theatre, ballet, opera and the dance.
C. L. R. James
Image
it is the certainty of being punished and not the horrifying spectacle of public punishment that must discourage crime
Michel Foucault
Image
I don't think people come to television for spectacle. And I don't really have a lot of fun writing spectacle for television, I'll do that in features.
Derek Luke
Image
A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.
Oscar Wilde
Image
As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself ... All of which I've earned a living doing.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium.
Johan Cruijff
Image
It [9/11 tragedy] was the spectacle, what al-Qaeda gets its main power from - why their terrorism truly earns the word acts. They are very theatrical, always - the simultaneous violence, the grandiose, symbolic gestures (the number 911, United and American flights, the World Trade as target etc). And then its aftermath.
Porochista Khakpour
Image
Treat your friend as a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It's a true image, born of a false spectacle.
Jean Genet
Image
There can be no reasonable right to live on sidewalks. Society needs order, and hence has a right to a minimally civilized ambience in public spaces. Regarding the homeless, this is not merely for aesthetic reasons because the anesthetic is not merely unappealing. It presents a spectacle of disorder and decay that becomes a contagion.
George Will
Image
The Opera is obviously the first draft of a fine spectacle it suggests the idea of one.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
So there's nothing more vulgar than the sound of someone saying, God Bless America, someone who doesn't really believe it, but he thinks it will make him look good to other people. I think it's the most nauseating spectacle.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
The Venus transit is not a spectacle the way a total solar eclipse is a spectacle.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
