Event Quotes - page 37

In any event, the proper question isn't what a journalist thinks is relevant but what his or her audience thinks is relevant. Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn't find it useful is censorship, not journalism. (Michael Kinsley)
Music so wishes to be heard that sometimes it calls on unlikely characters to give it voice, and ears. This wishing-to-be heard calls into existence the Performance Event; where music, musician and audience may come together as one, in communion. This communion has six different forms of being and experiencing itself (plus an invisible seventh); and these forms, or principles, are simultaneously present within the Performance. I - When people get together with music, something happens. II - In a performance, things come together, mysteriously; and go better than we might anticipate; and better than we deserve. III - A performance can take on a life and character of its own. IV - Any one performance is a multiplicity of performances. V - The possible is possible. VI - The impossible is possible. The Seventh Principle resides within Silence. Trust the event. View quote
Robert Fripp
A memory should induce a state through which we see current reality as an instance of the remembered event - or equivalently, see the past as an instance of the present. View quote
Marvin Minsky
It's only science that cannot consider thought as a real event, and science is not reality. It's a map of reality, and not a very good one. It's good, it's useful, but it has its limits. View quote
Alan Moore
The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. View quote
Joseph Addison
I believe that when people experience an event as a community it can transcend and change people's lives. View quote
Andy Serkis
And 'Sex Drugs Rock Roll' was a very transitional film for me in that I was one of the producers and you know, came up with the idea with the writer and the producer, as well. But, it was a very collaborative event. You know, I really love working in that way. View quote
Andy Serkis
There is no such thing as a soldier. I see death as a private event, the destruction of the universe in the brain and in the senses of one man, and I cannot see any man's death as a contributing factor in the success or failure of a military campaign. View quote
William Saroyan
All of these threads converge, in one way or another, upon an event there is no way for the audience to anticipate. View quote
Roger Ebert
When people endure a traumatic event, they are either defeated or made stronger. On Sept. 11, I told New Yorkers, "I want you to emerge stronger from this." My words were partially a hope and partially an observation that people in New York City handle big things better than little things. I could not be more proud of the way my city responded.

Rudy Giuliani
Every process which arises from our physical being and is related to it, is an event which lies outside of our volition. Every social process, however, arises from human intentions and human goal setting and occurs within the limits of our volition. (Rudolf Rocker)
When the first savage saw his hut destroyed by a bolt of lightning, he fell down upon his face in terror. He had no conception of natural forces, of laws of electricity ; he saw this event as the act of an individual intelligence. View quote
Upton Sinclair
Every part of all this soil is sacred to my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove has been hollowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished. The very dust you now stand on responds more willingly to their footsteps than to yours, because it is rich with the blood of our ancestors and our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch.

Chief Seattle
I'll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets - this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it. So Vive le Tour forever! View quote
Lance Armstrong
I think all art comes out of conflict. When I write I am always looking for the dramatic kernel of an event, the junctures of people's lives when they go in one direction, not another. View quote
Joyce Carol Oates
The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it. View quote
Hunter S. Thompson
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me. View quote
Anaïs Nin
Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants, one unexpected event crashing into another, with no pattern or reason, and then you finally reach a point, around my age, where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things. View quote
Ron Perlman
We had a great event yesterday, an event that was so beautiful, young African American leaders. One of the things I asked them, and I've been thinking about this for a long time... And great people, great people. Some of them are here tonight. Do you like the name African American or Black? And they said, "Black!” all at the same time. No, true. I tell you. Because you say, "African American or Black?” And they said almost immediately, "Black.”. View quote
Donald Trump
When we first met and loved, I did not build Upon the event with marble.... View quote
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If you find yourself drawn to an event against all logic, go. The universe is telling you something. (Gloria Steinem)
I myself have never been enchanted by the dream of the white wedding, and, heaven help us, the expectation that this exquisitely catered event should be 'the happiest moment' of one's life. View quote
Elizabeth Gilbert
When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event. View quote
Nicole Richie
Say not "a small event!" View quote
Robert Browning
All of life, I wanted to tell him, is in our minds. Where else does it take place, where else do we add up what it means to us and subtract what we have lost? An event is just an event until some person attaches meaning to it. View quote
