Impact Quotes - page 18
Most simply, 'present shock' is the human response to living in a world that's always on real time and simultaneous. You know, in some ways it's the impact of living in a digital environment, and in other ways it's just really what happens when you stop leaning so forward to the millennium and you finally arrive there.
Douglas Rushkoff
If we see a sad rain, it doesn't mean the rain is sad, but it means we see it. That's an easily dismissible kind of projection. But what I'm struggling to say, is that we take that rain in through our own hearts and emotions and senses and skin, and all those filters have an impact.
Karen Joy Fowler
It is in accordance with the impression that the plate ought to be painted; it gives you an impact, you translate the impact, and it is this which is truly artistic. It is like this that modern art began. And note that he was right. His plates were not round, but he was right in principle.
The Mother
The Rio Earth Summit in 1992 changed my life completely, turning me into an activist. From the air, you see things you can't see from the ground - you really understand the impact of man, even in a place you know well. My work is meant to convince people we can no longer live like this.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
The curriculum of the girl's school should be vernacular, needle work and sanitation...teaching women amounted to loss of nationality... English education had [a] de-womanising impact on women by denying them a happy worldly life...hurt the sentiments of the Hindus...teaching Hindu women to read English would ruin their precious traditional virtues and would make them immoral and subordinate.

Rick and Morty is definitely the most freeing, most fun thing I've ever worked on. It's had the biggest impact. I love everything I make-and hate it, I guess-but I have a very special relationship with Rick and Morty, and getting a 70-episode pickup means that I can actually really focus on it, and loving it won't be taking away from anything else. I can let Rick and Morty take away from everything.
Dan Harmon
Nature awareness, ecological worries and reactions to animal abuse are not signs of mankind at last getting conscious of its impact on the rest of the planet, but of the necessity for capital to think globally, and to take all past and present into account, from Maya temples to whales and genes. Everything it dominates has to be controlled and classified in order to be managed. What is marketable must be protected. Capital owns the world and no owner can afford to be too careless about his possessions.
Gilles Dauve
Animals deserve to be treated with kindness. I love animals, and I don't believe humans can treat them as commodities and cause them harm. ... I officially became a vegan on June 1, 2009. Even though it's quite a change in terms of nutrition, I have never felt better or so healthy in my life. Considering that I'm a professional athlete, that's quite important ... I understand the impact I have in joining many groups like PETA. I don't do it to force people to be vegetarian or vegan. I just want to educate people on the subject to make this world a better place. ... Many people ... refuse to get educated on the matter because just like me, they're sensitive and afraid to make a change. But my friends, that change is not bad at all. ... Millions of people around the globe are going vegetarian for the sake of animals, their health and the environment. I encourage you to give it a try too!
