Without continual growth and progress such words as improvement achievement and success have no meaning.

I don't necessarily love the sports per se I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

In a repressive society a writer can be deeply influential but in a society that's filled with glut and repetition and endless consumption the act of terror may be the only meaningful act.

The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.

We're teaching our kids that attributes as vague and relatively meaningless as a toothy smile or a fine head of hair make a fine statement about a person.

We've established a Washington State Academy of Sciences that will enable us to make decisions based on science about what is right for our state meaning the quality of our lives will get better.

Unfortunately Climate Science has become Political Science. It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best.

Biology meaning the science of all life is a late notion.

Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded in certain circles as a kind of hallmark of true science.

Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life.

Well there's just some universal truths in a way that I've just observed to be true. You read Voltaire. You read modern literature. Anywhere you go there's these observations about romantic love and what it does people and these rotten feelings that rarely are people meaning to do that to each other.

I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out. This USO tour is especially meaningful because of the friends I have met and I am honored to be apart of it.

I am a feminist and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black: it means that I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect.

The true meaning of religion is thus not simply morality but morality touched by emotion.

Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.

But even in the Christian religion much of its real meaning is hidden by words that are misleading and symbols that but few understand.

I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about people liberating themselves freeing themselves.

All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon what it means to you.

A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work but I think it's really meaningful as is a relationship. But they all take work.

Don't throw petals on the floor if they have no meaning. I would rather have a fun casual relationship than have someone pretending they're completely in love with me.

I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go wants to feel like it's not all for naught and it's meaningful because it makes you who you are.

The term 'genre' eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started.
