Quoted In The Grove:
As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn’t see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.
~Neil Young
I don’t have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.
~Annie Lennox
We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike.
~Blaise Pascal
EndQuote:
I’ve always felt that a person’s intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.

At the far edge of my view was the ocean… I could not make sense of its size and grandeur. It was not a pond, not a lake, but a second sky, bluer and more chaotic than the one above it.
~Abby Geni
The Mediterranean is in my DNA. I’m fine inland for about a week, but then I yearn for a limitless view of the sea, for the colours and smells of the Italian and French Riviera.
~Alain Ducasse
~
With dawn will come the sun and a new day — how often we forget the wonder of that simply because we are accustomed to it!
~Cid Ricketts Sumner (A View from the Hill)
All objects lose by too familiar a view.
~John Dryden
Views are overrated; it’s light that counts. I have an apartment in Miami’s South Beach, and I get tired of looking at the ocean. Even that view gets old after a while. Sunlight streaming into a room ‒ it never gets old.
~Michael Graves
In ‘A Room With a View‘ there’s a lovely scene with Julian Sands and Helena Bonham-Carter in a wheat field. It was simply the right time of day: late afternoon, that golden light, wheat and poppies… So romantic. But I had no idea it would turn out that well…
~James Ivory

I have this exercise where I force myself to look out from the flower’s point of view at these great walloping humans coming down the path, and try, just try and feel it from their point of view because it’s a different world to them, a fascinating hard one.
~Alice Oswald
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.
~Henry David Thoreau
There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view.
~Goethe
—
The Enlightenment view of mankind is a complete myth. It leads us into thinking we’re sane and rational creatures most of the time, and we’re not.
~J G Ballard
We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists. Any other view of our species is just a self-congratulatory delusion.
~Michael Crichton
~
The man is distinguished from the youth by the fact that he takes the world as it is, instead of everywhere fancying it amiss and wanting to improve it, i.e. model it after his ideal; in him the view that one must deal with the world according to his interest, not according to his ideals, becomes confirmed.
~Max Stirner
My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.
~Abdul Kalam
The older I get, the less I know. By that I mean the less I am sure of. I view people with strong opinions on the big stuff with distrust. I don’t think we should have certain certainties on faith and politics; I think we should be open-minded.
~Pam Ferris
Too often people view idealists as naive.
~Jacqueline Novogratz
~
We read too much Shakespeare at school, and view our parliamentary politics as dynastic drama, in which an impatient crown prince frets at his long subordination and begins to scheme for the throne he knows he merits, was promised and has earned.
~James Buchan
To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.
~Flannery O’Connor
~
It’s been my policy to view the Internet not as an ‘information highway,’ but as an electronic asylum filled with babbling loonies.
~Mike Royko
My own view is that this planet is used as a penal colony, lunatic asylum and dumping ground by a superior civilisation, to get rid of the undesirable and unfit. I can’t prove it, but you can’t disprove it either.
~Christopher Hitchens
The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.

Posted From The Grove
I was really fascinated by politics. It always has been part of my view that politics really is a calling or you wouldn’t go into it, because it’s demanding and potentially has a toll on you and your family.
~John Key
I always had a long-term view of going into politics, so I suppose I was always careful. I mean, I got offered all these rinky dink tax deals, but I always paid my taxes. I am naturally quite conservative.
~John Key
Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he shall not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or too base for what he wants to offer.
~Max Weber
The creation of a world view is the work of a generation rather than of an individual, but we each of us, for better or for worse, add our brick to the edifice.
~John Dos Passos
~
Al Gore’s problem, in my view, is that he never liked politics. He’s actually deeply uncomfortable in it but felt he had to do it because of his father. He’s much more comfortable in a private sector role and has, in fact, been much more successful in a private sector role, and I admire him for that.
~Andrew Sullivan
This idea that once you get into politics… you are now signed up for lifelong duty being in elective office, makes a fundamental error – and that is believing that the only way you can hold progressive views and implement them is in elective office.
~Matt Gonzalez
~
We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.
~James McGreevey
~
From the naturalistic point of view, all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots.
~Mikhail Bakunin
Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.
~John Adams
To attempt to superimpose its views through the exercise of force, is seldom the part of intelligence; it is frequently the part of ignorance.
~Paul Harris
~
We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings.
~Kjell Magne Bondevik
My view is, Democrat, Republican, it doesn’t matter, my view is I’m in Washington to try to work with people.
~Mark Pryor
~
For forty years, I have devoted myself to the cause of the people’s revolution with but one aim in view ‒ the elevation of China to a position of freedom and equality among the nations.
~Sun Yat-sen
The biggest novelty of 2013 will be new leadership in China. Very little is known about the views of the new leaders – who will rule the country for ten years. But we do know they’re the first generation of Chinese leaders who have spent the majority of their lives in a China ‘opening up’ to the rest of the world.
~David Miliband
I’ve always held the view that great states need strategic space. I mean, George Washington took his space from George III. Britain took it from just about everybody. Russia took all of Eastern Europe. Germany’s taken it from everywhere they can, and China will want its space too.
~Paul Keating
We sincerely ask the Beijing authorities across the Strait to view the election result from a positive perspective, to accept the democratic decision of the Taiwanese people.
~Chen Shui-bian
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow’s viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.
~Harry S Truman
Through mutual understanding, sincerity and goodwill, and with great wisdom and broad views, the leaders on both sides should jointly initiate new opportunities for peace, stability, cooperation and mutual benefit.
~Chen Shui-bian
~
We have come to the edge of the abyss and now it is time for a bold step forward. There is a political view that the tougher you are, the more credible you are.
~Ed Balls
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States and China are more likely to view each other as competitors if not adversaries. But the die has not been cast. The best possible outcome is a new understanding that when they cannot cooperate, they will coexist and allow all countries in the Pacific to grow and thrive.
~Lee Kuan Yew
~
Like a lot of Irish households we read a lot of Irish history. It was almost Soviet, raising the next generation with a mythic view of their history.
~Fiona Shaw
There are several reasons why Russians view the oppressive state positively. First, in the Russian Orthodox religion, there is an understanding of authority as something sent by God.
~Ryszard Kapuscinski
We, in Syria, our point of view stems from our experience.
~Bashar al-Assad
All knowledge of cultural reality, as may be seen, is always knowledge from particular points of view.
~Max Weber
According to this view, democracy is a product of western culture, and it cannot be applied to the Middle East which has a different cultural, religious, sociological and historical background.
~Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Because of the fact that we grew up in a Third World country, we see how things are from the outside point of view.
~Max Cavalera

As the earth spins through space, a view from above the North Pole would encompass most of the wealth of the world – most of its food, productive machines, doctors, engineers and teachers. A view from the opposite pole would encompass most of the world’s poor.
~Barry Commoner
Well, my view before was a Western view, and I certainly understand marriage equality and civil rights, equal rights for all, but having visited developing nations and some of the poorest nations in the world, I realize how deep it goes and how much work really needs to be done to create equality for all.
~Jason Mraz
~
I totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away.
~Dalai Lama
Each one of us, and, indeed, all those who aspire to national leadership must bring their own visions, views and styles to the business of reforming Nigeria, and the search for solutions.
~Ibrahim Babangida

When I came to Delhi and noticed an insider view, I felt what it was, and I was surprised to see it. It seemed as if dozens of separate governments are running at the same time in one main government. It appeared that everyone has its own fiefdom.
~Narendra Modi
Any idea of a united India could never have worked, and in my judgment, it would have led us to terrific disaster. Maybe that view is correct; maybe it is not ‒ that remains to be seen.
~Muhammad Ali Jinnah (founder, Pakistan)
~
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
~Steve Jobs
I think that if your approach is one where you don’t want to alienate anybody, you’re going to have to soften the viewpoint or the information that you’re offering to such an extent that it doesn’t have the power to make any difference. You have to take that risk.
~Eddie Vedder
Many will view the compromises that will be made during your negotiations as painful concessions. But why not view them as peace offerings, ones that will provide in return the priceless gifts of hope, security and freedom for our children and our children’s?
~King Abdullah II
~
As a politician who cherishes religious conviction in his personal sphere, but regards politics as a domain belonging outside religion, I believe that this view is seriously flawed.
~Recep Tayyip Erdogan
With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others.
~Iain Duncan Smith
~
The activists will not stop in trying to impose their extreme views on the rest of us, and they have now plotted out a state-by-state strategy to increase the number of judicial decisions redefining marriage without the voice of the people being heard.
~Jim Bunning
I view marriage as a sacred institution. I think two men naturally are predators. Gay relationships are a commercial break, not a whole movie.
~Pete Burns
It is a sad day for our country when the moral foundation of our law and the acknowledgment of God has to be hidden from public view to appease a federal judge.
~Soledad O’Brien
Many Americans do not want persons who openly engage in homosexual conduct as partners in their business, as scoutmasters for their children, as teachers in their children’s schools, or as boarders in their home. They view this as protecting themselves and their families from a lifestyle that they believe to be immoral and destructive.
~Antonin Scalia
The layman’s constitutional view is that what he likes is constitutional and that which he doesn’t like is unconstitutional.
~Hugo Black
My view is regardless of whether you think prohibiting abortion is good or whether you think prohibiting abortion is bad, regardless of how you come out on that, my only point is the Constitution does not say anything about it. It leaves it up to democratic choice.
~Antonin Scalia
~
Nobody outside of a baby carriage or a judge’s chamber believes in an unprejudiced point of view.
~Lillian Hellman
In my view, I did not get to the federal bench because I was a woman.
~Constance Baker Motley
~
If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
~Phil McGraw
Our flag is not just one of many political points of view. Rather, the flag is a symbol of our national unity.
~Adrian Cronauer
~
All respect for the office of the presidency aside, I assumed that the obvious and unadulterated decline of freedom and constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the efforts to curb the power of judicial review, spoke for itself.
~Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My grandfather was a man, when he talked about freedom, his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities, and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities, that then gave you the liberty to do other things.
~Clarence Thomas
I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.
~Richard M Nixon
~
To me, graphic T-shirts are the most important and most expressive format for a designer or a person. Your taste in graphic tees says a lot about your point of view.
~Virgil Abloh
A T-shirt POV that speaks to the hour’s cross-currents and chaos, a design that captures the moment… A mugshot T-shirt made political news this week, now this.
~Ed Note
~
This isn’t really a convention, This is really an infomercial. And every night we’ll have a different infomercial and people view it with a certain level of cynicism.
~Susan Estric

It’s impossible, I think, however much I’d become disillusioned politically or evolve into a post-political person, I don’t think I’d ever change my view that socialism is the best political moment humans have ever come up with.
~Christopher Hitchens
I don’t really view communism as a bad thing.
~Whoopi Goldberg
My personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good… I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx – though this undoubtedly will be suggested – but from Fichte and Hegel.
~John Grierson
My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.
~Jonathan Krohn
My own view is that left-wing positions largely come about from resentment ‒ I agree with Nietzsche about this ‒ a resentment about the surrounding social order. They have privileges, I don’t. Or, I have them and I can’t live up to them.
~Roger Scruton
It is certainly safe, in view of the movement to the right of intellectuals and political thinkers, to pronounce the brain death of socialism.
~Norman Tebbit
~
We must not enable anyone to impose his personal view regarding religion on others by force, oppression, or pressure.
~Shirin Ebadi
Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe.
~Elie Wiesel
That means that every human being – without distinction of sex, age, race, skin color, language, religion, political view, or national or social origin – possesses an inalienable and untouchable dignity.
~Hans Kung
~
We all would like to see a brighter future for Haiti, and I hope this conference will serve to explore many views. Respect for human rights, freedom, and the rule of law must be established in the poorest nation in our hemisphere.
~Eliot Engel
~
…And then you need to have interior enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws inside the country. And that means dealing with the employers who still consistently hire illegal labor.
~Janet Napolitano
~
Should there be cameras everywhere in outdoor streets? My personal view is having cameras in inner cities is a very good thing. In the case of London, petty crime has gone down. They catch terrorists because of it. And if something really bad happens, most of the time you can figure out who did it.
~Bill Gates
The fact is that a car used by Gerry Adams and myself during the course of the Mitchell review was bugged by elements within British military intelligence.
~Martin McGuinness
Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.
~Theresa May

Our modern world, though infinitely more complex than that of ancient Greece, is also far more superficial. Where the Greeks offered simple psychological training, we live in an age of style and spin in which perceptions of good and evil slither and shift with the political view of the moment.
~David Gemmell
From my point of view, the Dreyfus affair is most interesting because it was sparked by a single cause celebre. Just one court case ‒ one disputed trial ‒ plunged an entire country into an angry debate, creating unresolvable divisions between people who had previously not known that they disagreed with one another.
~Anne Applebaum
It was also Hegel who established the view that the different philosophic systems that we find in history are to be comprehended in terms of development and that they are generally one-sided because they owe their origins to a reaction against what has gone before.
~Walter Kaufmann
~
Anybody who thinks that getting a communication from a voter in your district is spam – that guy is pork. Roast pork unless he changes his point of view.
~Dick Morris
Before we decide to trust you with this power, we ask you to stand before the public and explain your views. Justice may be blind, but it should not be deaf.
~Herb Kohl
Debate and divergence of views can only enrich our history and culture.
~Ibrahim Babangida
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth ‒ often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.
~Hypatia

The human mind evolved always in the company of the human body, and of the animal body before it was human.
~John Desmond Bernal
Mankind’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.
~Milan Kundera
Steve Irwin did wonderful conservation work but I was uncomfortable about some of his stunts. Even if animals aren’t aware that you are not treating them with respect, the viewers are.
~David Attenborough
~
Time travel may be achieved one day, or it may not. But if it is, it should not require any fundamental change in world-view, at least for those who broadly share the world view I am presenting in this book.
~David Deutsch (physicist)
My philosophy comes from a worldview that looks at the world as one. It’s a holistic view that sees the world as interconnected and interdependent and integrated in so many different ways, which informs my politics.
~Dennis Kucinich (politician)
~
Speech is not violence. The Left conflates the two in order to justify its own violent reactions to differing points of view.
~Michael J Knowles
Liberals are not always so liberal with people who disapprove ‒ disapprove of their point of view.
~Clint Eastwood
It is the people who scream the loudest about America and Freedom who see to be the most intolerant for a differing point of view.
~Rosanne Cash
~
I’m not in the leftist controlled Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of my political views, primarily my lifelong militant support of the NRA, the Second Amendment, and my belief that the only good bad guy is a dead bad guy.
~Ted Nugent
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.
~Jeff Cooper
~
If you want to know why Republicans and conservatives are in a political crisis, you need only consider the fact that the Right’s deeply held view now boils down to this: Taxes should not go up on the wealthy, and your health benefits should be cut.
~John Podhoretz
A lot of great medicines and ancient therapies are blocked by the FDA, so that’s why I choose to travel and recognize the value of diverse points of view in medicine.
~Yolanda Hadid
There’s a certain libertarian right-wing view that there should be no FDA, that people can decide for themselves whether medicines are safe and effective. That’s nonsense. Most people don’t have the expertise or the resources to mount a proper study to find out whether a treatment is safe or effective.
~
The more we view the country through the prism of Aboriginality, the more likely we are to get the angle right.
~Paul Keating
~
It’s very attractive to people to be a victim. Instead of having to think out the whole situation, about history and your group and what you are doing… if you begin from the point of view of being a victim, you’ve got it half-made. I mean intellectually.
~V S Naipaul
~
The value systems of those with access to power and of those far removed from such access cannot be the same. The viewpoint of the privileged is unlike that of the underprivileged.
~Aung San Suu Kyi

The helicopter is a fine way to travel, but it induces a view of the world that only God and CEOs share on a regular basis.
~Morley Safer

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.
~Henry David Thoreau
~
I subscribe to William Faulkner’s’ view that history is not just about what we were before but who we are now.
~Ken Burns
~
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects… totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
~Aldous Huxley
We have a very narrow view of what is going on.
~Daniel Kahneman
~
You can’t have a rigid view that all new taxes are evil.
~Bill Gates
~
I identify with a different political ideology and therefore that shades the way people view me.
~Daniel Cameron
~
People have different points of view and different opinions, and they struggle themselves with change.
~Jim Gray
~
Perhaps the time has come to cease calling it the ‘environmentalist’ view, as though it were a lobbying effort outside the mainstream of human activity, and to start calling it the real-world view.
~E O Wilson

I do vote but I don’t think that any political party represents my point of view.
~Rupert Sheldrake
The Right’s view of government and the Left’s view of big business are both correct.
~Robert Anton Wilson
~
The only passion that guides me is for the truth… I look at everything from this point of view.
~Che Guevara
I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.
~Bram Cohen
~
Can someone within that society walk into the town square and say what they want without fear of being punished for his or her views? If so, then that society is a free society. If not, it is a fear society.
~Natan Sharansky
Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies’ resources, and minimized their own.
~Titus Livius
~
I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.
~Francis Maude
~
I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.
~Geoff Hoon
My view is that you still, in order to win from the Labour perspective, have to have a strong alliance with business as well as the unions. You have got to be very much in the centre ground on things like public sector reform.
~Tony Blair
~
My time at Shell was a most valuable experience because it taught me to look at the world in a long-term way. Shell takes a 20-year view on events and plans for different scenarios. It makes you see the world as a kind of large matrix.
~Vince Cable
When the United States was founded, the very idea of a nation premised on democratic principles of freedom and tolerance was viewed by the vast majority of the world as an experiment doomed to fail. Dictatorships, monarchies, and theocracies had for many centuries ruled the world.
~Eliot Spitzer
I believe history will come to view 9/11 as an event on par with November 22, 1963, the date on which John F. Kennedy was murdered, cutting short a presidency that was growing ever more promising. Dreams died that day in Dallas; it is easy to imagine the 1960s turning out rather differently had President Kennedy lived.
~Jon Meacham
~
The land of literature is a fairy land to those who view it at a distance, but, like all other landscapes, the charm fades on a nearer approach, and the thorns and briars become visible.
~Washington Irving
A celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
~Napoleon Bonaparte
I think, in the longer view of things, there is a very powerful pull in the direction of participatory government.
~Paul Wolfowitz
~
The belief that one’s own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions.
~Paul Watzlawick
The most fatal illusion is the narrow point of view. Since life is growth and motion, a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one.
~Brooks Atkinson
People who don’t travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what’s in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.
~Martin Yan
From a worldly point of view, there is no mistake so great as that of being always right.
~Samuel Butler
~
In my view, a political vision is not a grab-bag of discrete problems and solutions. It is the visionary anticipation of a direction.
~Roberto Unger
The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
~Warren Bennis
As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.

The view only changes for the lead dog.

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.

~Elon Musk
[I]t is an excellent thing for a man to get clear outside of his business or profession for at least a month every year, and a day and a half every week, so as to get a good view of it from the outside and see it as it really is. Let him take time enough off out under the sky, among the woods and the meadows, the silver rivers and the singing brooks, to become a man again instead of a mere money-coining machine, and he will come back to his desk with a fresh taste in his mouth, an eye keen and clear to divide the important from the trivial, and a positive greed for attacking difficulties and solving problems.

The corporate sector in my view is the most important since it is actively involved in the shaping of our life on the planet. The corporate world has the power and the means to influence politics and public trends.

Viewed from a distance, or through the eye of the All-Knowing CEO of the Universe, the crash of 2008 followed the usual pattern. A long-lived boom driven by cheap credit, going back as far as 1982 (though subject to interruptions in the mid-1980s and 1990s, and in 2001), came to grief because of a rise in the cost of borrowing money.
~James Buchan
Look, I’m very much in favor of tax cuts, but not with borrowed money. And the problem that we’ve gotten into in recent years is spending programs with borrowed money, tax cuts with borrowed money, and at the end of the day that proves disastrous. And my view is I don’t think we can play subtle policy here.
~Alan Greenspan
Reviewing a government budget is much like going through the attic in an old home.

Innovation is this amazing intersection between someone’s imagination and the reality in which they live. The problem is, many companies don’t have great imagination, but their view of reality tells them that it’s impossible to do what they imagine.

I think that there is a generational change, where new generations that have grown up always having access to the internet have a somewhat different view in terms of personal information and what needs to be kept private.

When you hire that first person, then you’re a boss. You’ve got performance reviews. You’ve got complaints about not making enough money. You’ve got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

As our company grew and we began growing our family stateside ‒ with heritages ranging from Liberian and Sierra Leonean to Irish, Indian, Swedish, Filipino, German, and beyond ‒ our different cultural influences and walks of life helped us even better understand the criticality of an inclusive point of view.

If a person is successful, we imagine they are probably also ethical, conscientious and deserving of their good fortune. This obscures the fact that many people who get ahead have done so by doing less than moral actions, which they cleverly disguise from view.

I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that, for you to gain, those you deal with should gain as well.

When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, ‘I’ve got to know it. I’ve got to give direction to others. I’m in this job because I’m better and smarter.’ I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.
~Anne M Mulcahy
I love the ability to work with very good managers, and to provide the right incentives for them, and truly become a partner with that management, and make that management take a long view.

I don’t really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I’ve made the decision I don’t view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.

Bitcoins are like gold bars with wings. That is why I, and so many others, view bitcoin and its network as gold 2.0.

What’s happening in crypto and certainly what’s happening at Ripple ‒ we have an opportunity to fundamentally change the way global commerce is managed from a payments point of view.

If you view life as a gold rush, you’re going to end up worshiping a golden calf. And when you call for help, and that golden calf can’t respond, you go under.

We cannot afford to have any large section of the business world in doubt whether they have broken the laws or not, and we cannot let the laws become a dead letter through vagueness. In this view it is clear that an administrative commission can render invaluable service.

I view advertising as being this romanticizing element that helps us appreciate, understand and enjoy how remarkable it is that we’ve been able to do so much, and learn so much. I view it as really vital, even though sometimes it can be really annoying.

Someone invented the automobile,
And good Americans took the wheel
To view American rivers and rills
And justly famous forests and hills —
But somebody equally enterprising
Had invented billboard advertising…

People always think women meet us in the hotel lobby, but it’s the opposite. The majority of the time, you go out to eat with your teammates, then rest for the next day’s game. It’s not a vacation ‒ most guys view the road as a business trip.

From my point of view, I always want to fight until the end of my last chance.

Playing on the Burj Al Arab helipad was an unforgettable experience, and the view of Dubai was incredible.

My Dad has given me a lot of advice, but this advice comes especially from the attitude point of view. He’s never told me how to drive a car, how to do a corner, nothing like that. He believe this comes from the talent. You are born with it or you are not born with it.

Each match is a huge effort from a physical point of view. You can only hit so many balls before your elbow or some part of your body is going to say, ‘Hey, don’t do that to me.’

I came out wanting to be an actor. From my first view of the world, that’s what I wanted to be. I’m made of 99 percent ham and 1 percent water. I was just cooked that way!

From a Buddhist point of view, emotions are not real. As an actor, I manufacture emotions. They’re a sense of play. But real life is the same. We’re just not aware of it.
~Richard Gere
Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn’t. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read.
~Mariska Hargitay
I think what’s really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience.
~Stanley Kubrick
I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion – as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character’s point of view is driving it at any given moment?

I have a worm’s eye view and a bird’s eye view simultaneously and it’s immensely helpful to understand what is happening on the shop floor when you are harnessing many talents and telling an intimate story on a large scale.
~Richard Eyre
Ah, there’s a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who’s, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he’s a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art.
~Brian Cox
I like stories that have a social impact and social attributes to them. That’s the whole reason we make films: to broaden our limited view of things and to see how life is evolving elsewhere.
~Djimon Hounsou
I don’t know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.
~Chris Evans
All movies assault the viewer in one way or another.
~Michael Haneke

There is no essential difference between the material of comedy and tragedy. All depends on the point of view of the dramatist, which, by clever emphasis, he tries to make the point of view of his audience.
~George Pierce Baker
Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it’s simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.
~Ang Lee
Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that’s ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience.
~Michael Haneke
A director should not define everything. For me, the movie is a form of a question I pose to the others or to the audience. I want to ask their opinion on my point of view and discuss it with them.
~Kim Ki-duk

Technology continues to bring us wondrous advances in filmmaking to improve how we view movies… In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.
~Ridley Scott
Because of my age and because there’s more work on the small screen. What it’s missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor’s selfish point of view.
~Cesar Romero

The difference between ‘Watchmen‘ and a normal comic book is this: With ‘Batman’s Gotham City,’ you are transported to another world where that superhero makes sense; ‘Watchmen‘ comes at it in a different way, it almost superimposes its heroes on your world, which then changes how you view your world through its prism.
~Zack Snyder
I still can’t get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the ‘New Yorker.’ Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
~Chris Ware
~
I think my initial view of it is that ‘The Room‘ has succeeded in being the best bad movie because it’s the most earnest. I feel like it’s a film that comes from the heart, and somebody’s really trying to send a message about their life and their view on the human experience.
~Greg Sestero
So I decided to move that scene in the doctor’s office to two-thirds into the movie, after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.
~Arthur Hiller (Love Story)
Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.

People’s personalities, like buildings, have various facades, some pleasant to view, some not.

…I had acquired no doubt a selective view of the private Mencken. He was an affable and easy host, a knowing student of theology, and a gifted amateur of medicine and jurisprudence who was willing and qualified to debate enemies into friends. He did not ask for approval of his ideas, only a decent discussion and then a truce accompanied by the sacrament, preferably, of a dry martini, which he once called “the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet.”
~Alistair Cooke
To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people’s views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it’s also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do – bad or good.

The truth is that the gossip-hounds in Tinsel Town and the cackling windbags at ‘The View‘ don’t want civility. They want catty (or dare I say it gay-ish) gossip and sensational headlines that provide them with an opportunity to hop on the bully pulpit.

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it’s like, she didn’t care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

The government’s view is that the best time to announce bad news, news that it doesn’t want the public to dwell on is late on a Friday, when it will wind up in the Saturday papers, which if you were readers, then the week day editions. A holiday weekend is even better.

It wasn’t until sixth grade, at P.S. 168, when my teacher took us on a field trip to her house that I realized we were poor. I have no idea what my teacher’s intentions were ‒ whether she was trying to inspire us or if she actually thought visiting her Manhattan brownstone with her view of Central Park qualified as a school trip.
~Jay-Z
As long as I keep it real, I learn something from everyone. And when you view yourself as a student and not as somebody who’s bigger, there is still learning that can be done every day, and that keeps you open-minded and more ready to learn about life and love.

When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues.

Music is an art form, and I always though art was beyond censorship. I thought this was a common view. Apparently, I was wrong.

A great song is a great song, whether it’s on vinyl or CD or cassette or reel to reel or mp3. Then again, that might be an overly optimistic view, but I do think that great music will transcend the medium in which it is delivered.

This is a fundamental view of the world. It says that when you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must repair the world around it, and within it, so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and more whole; and the thing which you make takes its place in the web of nature, as you make it.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.

Art is often defined as a famous masterpiece in a gallery, and we are meant to visit the work and view it to appreciate it. But that is not all there is.
~Ryuichi Sakamoto
I’ve always taken the view that works of art are not just things that we enjoy. They can convey truths about the world more vividly and to greater effect than ordinary philosophical prose can because they don’t just deal in ideas but show the emotional reality of them.
~Roger Scruton
I don’t know much about auctions. I sometimes go to previews and see art sardined into ugly rooms. I’ve gawked at the gaudy prices, and gaped at well-clad crowds of happy white people conspicuously spending hundreds of millions of dollars.

The most important thing is to have a point of view and have something to say. That is important if you are filmmaker or artist. That means you have to experience the world.

Up until 35 I had a slightly skewed world view. I honestly believed everybody in the world wanted to make abstract paintings, and people only became lawyers and doctors and brokers and things because they couldn’t make abstract paintings.

Because when you are something people don’t know quite how to define, it means you get more of an opportunity to define yourself to bring something new to the table, to bring a new view on things.

In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.

I have been frequently accused of deliberately twisting subject matter to my point of view. Above all, I know that life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love.

Therefore, when I considered this carefully, the contempt which I had to fear because of the novelty and apparent absurdity of my view, nearly induced me to abandon utterly the work I had begun.

Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch, or you might simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors, where it is harder to get a splinter.
~Lemony Snicket,
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
~August Strindberg
Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one’s thoughts but also to be talented in one’s feelings as well.

I remember driving home one evening while they were reviewing the papers on the radio. One of the articles was about me separating from my wife. It’s a weird thing to listen to a news report about the break-up of your marriage.
~Rory Bremner
Marriage can be viewed as the waiting room for death.
~Mike Myers
Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other’s point of view?

I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. That’s my view, and that’ll be the view of our state because I wouldn’t sign a bill that – like the one that was in New York.

My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. That’s the position I’ve had for some time, and I don’t intend to make any adjustments at this point… Or ever, by the way.
~Mitt Romney
Those who condemn gay marriage, yet are silent or indifferent to the breakdown of marriage and divorce, are, in my view, missing the real issue.
~Malcolm Turnbull
Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state.

I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I’m not going to get married, but it’s not my priority.
~Emily Procter
A marriage license should not be viewed as a license for a husband to forcibly rape his wife with impunity.
~Sol Wachtler
Marriage counselors in particular all strongly recommend divorcees try to understand their role in a divorce before re-marrying. Statistics show if you re-marry before you’ve clearly seen things from the biter’s point of view ‒ you’re re-bounded to fail again!
~Karen Salmansohn

Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
~August Strindberg
The thing is that love gives us a ringside seat on somebody else’s flaws, so of course you’re gonna spot some things that kinda need to be mentioned. But often the romantic view is to say, ‘If you loved me, you wouldn’t criticise me.’ Actually, true love is often about trying to teach someone how to be the best version of themselves.
~Alain de Botton
It’s my view that gender is culturally formed, but it’s also a domain of agency or freedom and that it is most important to resist the violence that is imposed by ideal gender norms

When you abuse someone, you limit their perspective, and you trap them in your view of them or your view of the world.
~Tara Westover
Sex and gender are such befuddling mysteries even for those of us who are in the mainstream that you’d think we’d be wary of being judgmental. Yet much of society clings to a view that gender is completely binary, when, in fact, there’s overwhelming evidence of a continuum.
~Nicholas Kristof
When you meet someone new who instantly gets you, your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview, even if theirs are different – and you get them in return. You both talk and talk and agree and laugh and nod and yes, yes, of course you should get another round of drinks.

Within our culture, every school has a swimming pool. We lived on the coast. People swam in the surf. It’s a very sporty nation and at that particular time anyone who had an artistic bent was very much an outsider. So if you liked reading or ideas or playing the piano then your dad viewed you as a sissy, basically.

Women are, in my view, natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life, through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life, they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

There is no question about it — woman is different. That is half the secret of her charm. She is one of those delightful subjects we can discuss, concuss, and rediscuss from every imaginable point of view, ad infinitum, world without end, without ever coming to any final conclusion, because woman is not final herself.

Earlier feminists were almost universally pro-choice and have dominated political debate until now. Having access to abortion was viewed as the only way women could have full equality with men, who, until recently, couldn’t get pregnant.

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.
~Simone de Beauvoir
A man’s sentiments are generally just and right, while it is second selfish thought which makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness.
~Leland Stanford
If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don’t see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.

A woman has many faces as she goes through her life. It’s like we need more than one hair-do. We have many, many changes in the evolution of our lives. We have, we learn, and we grow; we view life differently, and life views us differently.

To view each loved one blotted from life’s page,
And be alone on earth, as I am now.
~Lord Byron

So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb.
~Alastair Campbell
Death is important for a couple reasons. The first is that death creates scarcity in our life, which therefore gives our decisions meaning and value. From a practical point of view, it therefore makes sense that we keep our own deaths in mind when deciding how to use our time.
~Mark Manson
To think of death, to hold ideas or views or beliefs about it, is simply to hold views, ideas, or beliefs about life. The first great idea, perhaps, that we want to hold deeply is that death is not the end of life but simply an event in life.
~Lilian Whiting
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
~Lao Tzu
For [the materialist] the soul has no existence, and the human body may be regarded simply as a vital engine—a locomotive which will start upon the application of heat and force, and stop when they are withdrawn. To the theologian the case offers greater difficulties, for, in his view, death cuts asunder the tie which binds soul and body, and the one can no more be returned into the other without miracle than the born infant can be compelled to resume its fœtal life
~Yelena Petrovna Blavatskaya
Everyone dies. I can just stave it off for a bit. The whole doctoring thing is actually fucking up people’s view of death. People are starting to get this attitude that death’s a tragedy.
~Tony McNamara and Matthew Moore
It is high time that dying was restored to a measure of conversational respectability. Of late years there has been a rather hush-hush attitude toward it, as if it were not only top secret (as indeed in a sense it is) but unmentionable in a polite society which long since… has ceased to be polite. Why is it that so absorbing, not to say vital, a subject has been thus banned? Can it be that by refusing to admit its reality we hope to think it out of existence?
~Cid Ricketts Sumner (A View from the Hill)
Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.

If you quit every time you face a new challenge, giving up can change how you view yourself. You may begin to think you’re weak or that you’re a failure because you can’t seem to stick with things long enough to see positive results.
~Amy Morin
We paid off our debts, we learned some, made friends and returned in 1950 with a larger view of life. I had, however, no home, no income of any kind and no prospects whatsoever.
~James Black
I have the view that if I am no longer a president, I am determined to become a sage in the sense that I will get closer to God, take care of the children so they can become good citizens, advise people, and guide the government from behind by using whatever I have to assist the country.

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don’t think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

I always had a larger view. I’m interested in real life – my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

I always knew I was going somewhere ‒ going out. I just knew. I just knew. I just knew there were a lot more points of view out there.

I always have a point of view. It may not be right, but it’s my own.
~Baz Luhrmann
Every candle that gets lit in the dark room must feel a little rejection from the darkness around it, but the last thing I want from those who hold a different world view to me is to accept me.
~Kirk Cameron
To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people’s views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it’s also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do – bad or good.
~Barbra Streisand
Truth is a point of view, but authenticity can’t be faked.

We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.

Human beings, from their own point of view, are very different than what people see.

Back to the view is to be part of the view, a separate audience.

Truth is eternal, unchanging, though circumstances may and do operate to give a different colour to it, in our view, at different times. And truth will prevail, and those who do not yield to it must be destroyed by it.

@Writers Platform:
To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt.
~Eleanor Catton
And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God’s language – it’s better, it’s finer, it’s language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
~Stephen King
From the reader’s view, a poem is more demanding than prose.
~Mark Strand
If poetry alters the way in which the reader views the world, then it has had its desired effect.
~John Barton
Too many people in the modern world view poetry as a luxury, not a necessity like petrol. But to me it’s the oil of life.
~John Betjeman
There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.

There’s no way to approach anything in an objective way. We’re completely subjective; our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world.
~Charlie Kaufman
Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively, from a distance, and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world, and at myself, from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality.
~Wislawa Szymborska
Bored with obvious reality, I find my fascination in transforming it into a subjective point of view.
~Ernst Haas (photojournalist)
It doubles your perception, to write from the point of view of someone you’re not.

The tortured similes, the brooding introspection, the jaundiced view of society ‒ nobody ever has any fun in a Ross Macdonald book.

I write from what I take to be the realist’s point of view, looking at life as it really is ‒ or the way I see it to be.
~Justin Cartwright
As a romance novelist, I have a rather skewed view of babies. You see, they don’t typically fit into the classic structure of the romance novel ‒ romance is about two people finding each other and falling in love against insurmountable odds. Babies… well… babies are complicated.

It is your work to clear away the mass of encumbering material of thoughts, so that you may bring into plain view the precious thing at the center of the mass.

Everybody asks, ‘What does ‘Humans of New York’ mean?’ and I always say that I try to avoid putting any kind of message in the work even if it is a positive or optimistic message. The moment you do that, you’re looking for certain people and words that fit into the world view you are trying to show, and it becomes preachy.
~Brandon Stanton
As I read ‘The Infinities‘, with its magical, playful richness, its sensuous delight in the power of language to convey the strangeness and beauty of being human, I wondered if J. M. Coetzee, with his bleak, pared-down, elemental view of the world, had ever read a Banville and, if he had, whether he had envied him his astonishing powers.
~Justin Cartwright
To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.
~Willa Cather

The problem with too beautiful a view is that it’s alright for the mulling stage. But for the writing stage, you want to be somewhere without a view, especially if it is very different from what you’re writing.
~Vikram Seth
People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children’s book. I say, ‘If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children’s book’, but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you’re directing the story to is anathema to me, because, in my view, fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable.
~Martin Amis
I was pretty dead set against ever writing an academic novel. It’s always been my view that there are already more than enough academic novels and that most of them aren’t any good. Most of them are self-conscious and bitter, the work of people who want to settle grudges.

The problem is when you are writing something in retrospective, it needs a lot of courage not to change, or you will forget a certain reality, and you will just take in consideration your view today.

A clever conjurer is welcome anywhere, and those of us whose powers of entertainment are limited to the setting of booby-traps or the arranging of apple-pie beds must view with envy the much greater tribute of laughter and applause which is the lot of the prestidigitator with some natural gift for legerdemain.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that’s totally nonsense. I am just one human being.
~Dalai Lama
I do not live in a world where people can walk on water, or still a storm, or take five loaves of bread and feed 5000 men plus women and children. If that is a requirement of my commitment to Jesus, I find it difficult to stretch my mind outside the capacities of my world view.
~ Shelby Spong
The forms of thought, into which we throw our timid views of God, are but symbols of truths greater than our thoughts. Yet we may not set them aside as worthless, for they are the rungs on which we dwellers in the cave climb to the full view of the Truth, as he is.

In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.
~Noah Webster
It is only the forcible propagation of conventional Christianity that makes the agnostic so bitter toward the church. He knows that all the doctrines cannot possibly be true, but he would view them with toleration if he were asked merely to let them alone for the benefit of the masses whom they can help and succour.
~H P Lovecraft

Many of these women are genuinely pious, but into their piety there has been introduced an unhappy doubt… about the professional competence of their moral guides and commanders. They have not only begun to view the curious fiats of bishops and archbishops with a growing indifference; they have also begun to toy with the suspicion that even the Pope, on occasion, may be all wet.

As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts.

Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that’s kind of natural for anyone who’s just embraced Islam – or any religion – as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I’d been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.
~Cat Stevens
The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes, who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.
~Robert Bork
I am a sworn atheist and therefore from my point of view the Talmud or the Koran don’t constitute works of political philosophy but rather writings that stand in utter contradiction to concepts like logic, freedom, feminism, secularism, brotherhood ‒ which are my ideals.
~Michel Onfray
Since I was an atheist for many years and came to believe in God through my studies in science, it frustrated me to see students and parents who viewed faith and science as enemies.

The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense.

In addition to the magic of love which moves the human heart, there is yet another magic which can remove mountains. That, of course, is faith. Lucky is he who has both, and this is especially true in age. ~Cid Ricketts Sumner (A View from the Hill)

I used to hold a unitary view, in which I proposed that only experienced happiness matters, and that life satisfaction is a fallible estimate of true happiness.
~Daniel Kahneman
The middle way is a view of life that avoids the extreme of misguided grasping born of believing there is something we can find, or buy, or cling to that will not change. And it avoids the despair and nihilism born from the mistaken belief that nothing matters, that all is meaningless.

From a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people.

To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.

As all human beings are, in my view, creatures of God’s design, we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions, but indeed I respect them as human beings.

And these two elements are at odds with one another because Freud is utterly adversary to almost all the ways of structuring the human experience found in Western religions. No Western religion can countenance Freud’s view of man.

There are two methods for the literary study of any book ‒ the first being the study of its thought and emotion; the second only that of its workmanship. A student of literature should study some of the Bible from both points of view.

Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

Space doesn’t offer an escape from Earth’s problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design.

The overall view of the human genome project has been one of great excitement and positive press, but there are people who have concerns that are quite reasonable, and they are frightened of things they don’t understand.

I’ve been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I’ve been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science.

Some people take the view that the universe is simply there, and it runs along ‒ it’s a bit as though it just sort of computes, and we happen by accident to find ourselves in this thing. I don’t think that’s a very fruitful or helpful way of looking at the universe.
~Roger Penrose
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
~Brian Greene
The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development.
~Margaret Murray
Well, biology today as I see it has an amiable look – quite different from the 19th-century view that the whole arrangement of nature is hostile, ‘red in tooth and claw.’ That came about because people misread Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest.’

We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance.

I get a sense that we’ve all been educated into one school of thought. I’m not surprised at all to find among the overwhelming majority of scientists, are people who would hold one particular view because that’s all they’re exposed to.
~Thabo Mbeki
Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world – biocentrism – revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.

When radium was discovered, no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it.

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

When the space shuttle’s engines cut off, and you’re finally in space, in orbit, weightless… I remember unstrapping from my seat, floating over to the window, and that’s when I got my first view of Earth. Just a spectacular view, and a chance to see our planet as a planet.
~Sally Ride
The first view of the Earth is magical. It is a very overpowering realization that the Earth is so small. It affected me. I could not get over the notion that in such a small planet, with such a small ribbon of life, so much goes on. It is as if the whole place is sacred.
~Kalpana Chawla (astronaut, martyr to his science)

In general, science journalism concerns itself with what has been published in a handful of peer-reviewed journals – Nature, Cell, The New England Journal of Medicine – which set the agenda.
~Michael Pollan
Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.

From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work ‒ not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.

This country [Arizona] is geology by day and astronomy at night. It offers a broad view of what is happening generally in the solar system, with no particular reference to Man. But it has a magnificent routine.

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.

The truth is an objective standard by which reality is measured; it’s God’s point of view on any subject.

Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.

There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.

One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
~Francis Collins
There’s nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear.
~Rose Kennedy
~
One is amazed at the vanity of human beings who will thus expose their features to general view when nature has provided so easy a means of disguising them. It is not even that they get any pleasure from shaving.
~Robert Lynd
The convention of one age is the laughing-stock of the next. In regard to shaving, the view of the conventionalist is that it does not much matter whether we shave or grow beards provided we all shave or grow beards at the same time, and ninety-nine men out of a hundred are conventionalists.
~Robert Lynd
~
Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem.
~Bjarne Stroustrup
An outsider’s point of view is always handy.

When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new.
This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb,

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.
~Denis Waitley
~
I have ridiculously bad eyesight, but I have learned to live with an impressionistic view. Life is a Monet painting. I wander around enjoying myopia.

Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
~Helen Fisher
~
I can say, ‘Well, I’m a male. I’m a male human. I’m a medical doctor. I’m an author…’ If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, ‘I am a soul. I am a spirit.’ If I go into science, I will say, ‘I am energy. I am light.’ But the truth is I have no idea what I am.
~Don Miguel Ruiz
The view which regards man as a well, a reservoir full of possibilities, I call the romantic; the one which regards him as a very finite and fixed creature, I call the classical.

~Edward Abbey
