I think the key divide between the interactive media and the narrative media is the difficulty in opening up an empathic pathway between the gamer and the character, as differentiated from the audience and the characters in a movie or a television show. (Steven Spielberg)
A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid. View quote
J. R. R. Tolkien
I remember when I got a new device for my computer. I connected it to the landline phone plug(!), and the device called another device and sang a robot love song to it. That made the devices connect, and I could go online and exchange messages. That was one of the most important things that ever happened to me, breaking my isolation. It helped me to reach out to other folks all around the globe. Communication is key in nerd culture. But beware if that communication fails. You can create toxic troll wastelands! Not even robot love songs can help you with that! View quote
Johannes Grenzfurthner
Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one's own castle. View quote
Franz Kafka
One after another they have closed the heavy iron doors upon him, and now they have him, as it were, bolted in with a lock of a hundred keys, which can never be unlocked without the concurrence of every key; the keys in the hands of a hundred different men, and they scattered to a hundred different and distant places; and they stand musing as to what invention, in all the dominions of mind and matter, can be produced to make the impossibility of his escape more complete than it is. It is grossly incorrect to say or assume, that the public estimate of the negro is more favorable now than it was at the origin of the government. View quote
Abraham Lincoln
You have to learn all the big ideas in the key disciplines in a way that they're in a mental latticework in your head and you automatically use them for the rest of your life. If you do that, I solemnly promise you that one day you'll be walking down the street and you'll look to your right and left and you'll think "my heavenly days, I'm now one of the few competent people in my whole age cohort." View quote
Charlie Munger
It starts at the bottom, viewing an organism as a large population of simple machines, and works upwards synthetically from there - constructing large aggregates of simple, rule-governed objects which interact with one another nonlinearly in the support of life-like, global dynamics. The ‘key' concept in AL is emergent behavior. View quote
Chris Langton
Even though Google may do very well, there will always be an alternative to what Google is doing, and people will always have the free choice... because there's no way for us to prevent them from exercising that choice. That is one of the key aspects of why the Internet has been so successful. No technologies can dominate. View quote
Eric Schmidt
I remember that the day I finished 'The Angels,' part three of 'The Book of Laughter and Forgetting', I was terribly proud of myself. I was sure that I had discovered the key to a new way of putting together a narrative. View quote
Milan Kundera
The predictions of things to come relate to the state of the Church in all ages: and amongst the old Prophets, Daniel is most distinct in order of time, and easiest to be understood: and therefore in those things which relate to the last times, he must be made the key to the rest. View quote
Isaac Newton
Those moralists, on the other hand, who, following in the footsteps of Socrates, offer the individual a morality of self-control and temperance as a means to his own advantage, as his personal key to happiness, are the exceptions. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
The longest journey begins with a single step, not with the turn of an ignition key. That's the best thing about walking, the journey itself. It doesn't much matter whether you get where you're going or not. You'll get there anyway. Every good hike brings you eventually back home. Right where you started. View quote
Edward Abbey
The key to the creative type is that he is separated out of the common pool of shared meanings. There is something in his life experience that makes him take in the world as a problem; as a result he has to make personal sense out of it. View quote
Ernest Becker
Some scenes you juggle two balls, some scenes you juggle three balls, some scenes you can juggle five balls. The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101. Then you start putting layers on top of that. View quote
John Burroughs
English is the key to full participation in the opportunities of American life. View quote
S. I. Hayakawa
Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level. View quote
Abdul Kalam
Suffering. That was the key. View quote
G. Gordon Liddy
What I'm going to be given I gather is not the key to the city, which in many cities is the case. It's the freedom medal, and for me freedom has always been associated traditionally within the city. View quote
George Woodcock
We're going to [put] more of these little Negro bastards on the welfare rolls at $2,400 a family. Let people like Pat Moynihan and [special consultant] Leonard Garment and others believe in all that crap. But I don't believe in it. Work, work - throw 'em off the rolls. That's the key. View quote
Richard Nixon
With confidentiality as the key, men's groups open the door to men opening their hearts. View quote
Warren Farrell
A key measure of emotional intelligence is knowing that every virtue taken to its extreme becomes a vice. (Warren Farrell)
The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us. View quote
Warren Farrell
We forget to even see that there is something more than just us, that "we,” or "I,” an individual, is not the only thing in this whole universe. Your goodness, your badness, your deeds, what's right for you and what's wrong for you, and what's beautiful and what's not beautiful, what's happy, what's sad, and all these ideas--that's not all. We forget that there is an incredible creation that surrounds us. And we have to open up to that creation. Obviously we want peace in our life. That's what we're trying to pursue. But there is this door and this door is locked. Without a key it will not open up. Beyond this door lies Knowledge. Beyond this door lies Love. View quote
Prem Rawat
I have something to offer, and through which you can realize something, realize the essence of this life. Even if you are a billionaire, you have to have one thing going for you, and that's life. That is a key ingredient. You don't have life going for you, you can have everything else going for you, and it won't make any difference. View quote
Prem Rawat
It means we cannot afford undue work stoppages, inflated costs of material or talent, wasteful interagency rivalries, or a high turnover of key personnel. New objectives and new money cannot solve these problems. They could in fact, aggravate them further - unless every scientist, every engineer, every serviceman, every technician, contractor, and civil servant gives his personal pledge that this nation will move forward, with the full speed of freedom, in the exciting adventure of space.
