Raw Quotes - page 3
A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.
Jorge Luis Borges
Man must be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild.
Immanuel Kant

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Wilderness is the raw material out of which man has hammered the artifact called civilization.
Aldo Leopold
Narcissism and the Confederate dead cannot be connected logically, or even historically; even were the connection an historical fact, they would not stand connected as art, for no one experiences raw history.
Allen Tate
Early entry is appropriate when the following general circumstances hold: - Image and reputation of the firm are important to the buyer, and the firm can develop an enhanced reputation by being a pioneer. - Early entry can initiate the learning process in a business in which the learning curve is important, experience is difficult to imitate, and it will not be nullified by successive technological generations. - Customer loyalty will be great, so that benefits will accrue to the firm that sells to the customer first. - Absolute cost advantages can be gained by early commitment to supplies of raw materials, distribution channels, and so on.
Michael E. Porter

Maurice Gibb

Ted Dekker
The truth is messy. It's raw and uncomfortable. You can't blame people for preferring lies.
Holly Black
Crying was an acceptable outlet, even if it made you feel raw and empty inside, it was still better than that build up of resentment that grew from not letting your emotions out. - My Bestfriend's Girl.
Dorothy Koomson
There's a great metaphor that one of my doctors uses: If a fish is swimming in a dirty tank and it gets sick, do you take it to the vet and amputate the fin? No, you clean the water. So, I cleaned up my system. By eating organic raw greens, nuts and healthy fats, I am flooding my body with enzymes, vitamins and oxygen.
Kris Carr
All liars ... lie to protect themselves, to shield their egos from the raw pain of truth.
Aminatta Forna
Because she was raw and uncertain, and she liked to keep all the messy parts of herself to herself. ... As much as Lena liked to hide the mess and display the finished product, by this point she was all mess and no product.
Ann Brashares
I read some of my stories recently and thought, 'How in the hell did I get away with that?' I had some really raw cynicism in some of them.
Carl Barks
An espionage organization is a collector: it collects raw information. That gets processed by a machinery that is supposed to resolve its reliability, and to present a finished product.
Aldrich Ames
History is the history of human behavior, and human behavior is the raw material of fiction. Most people recognize that novelists do research to get the facts right - how a glove factory works, for example, or how courtesans in imperial Japan dressed.
Amy Waldman
Our stock in trade is raw, flailing sex.
Al Goldstein
Most sailing ships take what they call trainees, who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can't just ride along. You're learning to steer the ship, navigation; you're pulling lines, keeping a lookout; in the galley you're cooking.
Billy Campbell
Since Europe is dependent on imports of energy and most of its raw materials, it can be subdued, if not quite conquered, without all those nuclear weapons the Soviets have aimed at it simply through the shipping routes and raw materials they control.
Barbara Amiel
Some days I would go without any fire at all, and eat raw frozen meat and melt snow in my mouth for water.
Buffalo Bill
