A talent for drama is not a talent for writing, but is an ability to articulate human relationships. (Gore Vidal)
Guitar solos, to me, should be a really articulate way to make fun of guitar solos. View quote
Josh Homme
The wreck of the Titanic functions as a sublime object: a positive, material object elevated to the status of the impossible Thing. And perhaps all the effort to articulate the metaphysical meaning of the Titanic is nothing but an attempt to escape this terrifying impact of the Thing, an attempt to domesticate the Ting by reducing it to its symbolic status, by providing it with a meaning. We usually say that the fascinating presence of a Thing obscures its meaning; here, the opposite is true: the meaning obscures the terrifying impact of its presence. View quote
Slavoj Žižek
Although the "ruling class"disagrees with the populists' moral agenda it tolerates the "moral war"as a means of keeping the lower classes in check, that is, it enables the latter to articulate their fury without disturbing the economic status quo. View quote
Slavoj Žižek
You can say this for Senior Management: it knows how to articulate a goal. The strategy may be fuzzy, the execution nonexistent, but Senior Management knows what it wants. View quote
Max Barry
Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon. View quote
George Bernard Shaw
I was never really affected by it because I don't have the time to go up to every grime kid and explain the ideology and the lifestyle. It's too hard.... Look at Afrikan Boy, he still has that problem. You have this talent to see something and articulate something new, but you can't because the arena to do that doesn't exist. It's easier to breed movements in England than really support one artist, especially in urban culture. View quote
M.I.A.
The articulate voice is more distracting than mere noise. View quote
Seneca
I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right. View quote
George W. Bush
It's likely that taboo words are stored in the right hemisphere of the brain. Massive left hemisphere strokes or the entire surgical removal of the left hemisphere can leave people with no articulate speech other than the ability to swear, spout cliches and song lyrics. View quote
Steven Pinker
We rely upon the poets, the philosophers and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy or sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope. They give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I find my courage wavering I rush to them. They give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on. (Helen Hayes)
Prose - it might be speculated - is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of "communication"; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider's delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.

Joyce Carol Oates
Love - caritas - is an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace. It is a force that has its origin in God, Eternal Love and Absolute Truth. Each person finds his good by adherence to God's plan for him, in order to realize it fully: in this plan, he finds his truth, and through adherence to this truth he becomes free (cf. Jn 8:32). To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity. Charity, in fact, "rejoices in the truth”. View quote
Pope Benedict XVI
The reason I am so popular is that I give others back what they need to find in themselves. You need me not because I tell you what I want you to do but because I articulate and justify what you want to do. View quote
Azar Nafisi
There are many franchises today, and again I could begin to articulate them one by one, who have deep trouble. ... We have a remarkable number of teams losing a lot of money. View quote
Bud Selig
We cannot live, as someone has said, in the contemplation of chaos, but neither can we live without an awareness of chaos, and the means through which we achieve that awareness, and through which we assert our humanity most significantly against it, is in great art. In our time the most articulate art form for defining ourselves and for asserting our humanity is the novel. Certainly it is our most rational art form for dealing with the irrational. View quote
Ralph Ellison
An artist's touches are sometimes no more articulate than the barking of a dog who would call attention to something without exactly knowing what. This is as it should be, and he is a great artist who can be depended on not to bark at nothing. View quote
Samuel Butler (novelist)
I think you always have to find where the boundary is in relation to the context in order to be able to kind of articulate how you want the space to interact with the viewer. View quote
Richard Serra
Norman is one of the bravest men I have ever met. He will never deviate on a point of principle-and those principles are ones which even the least articulate Tory knows he shares. View quote
Norman Tebbit
The net result is to substitute articulate hesitation for inarticulate certainty. View quote
Bertrand Russell
I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, 'Is this a world you want to live in?' They would say, 'No.' (Helen Mirren)
I think libertarians need somebody who can articulate getting from A to Z. But you know, if G is achievable, how about it? Let's get there! View quote
Gary Johnson
His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost. View quote

A solitary, unused to speaking of what he sees and feels, has mental experiences which are at once more intense and less articulate than those of a gregarious man. View quote
Thomas Mann
The world is always in a turmoil over skin color. The hatred that people feel, I'm not able to articulate it. View quote
