True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure us of our material life our values make possible our spiritual life.

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams like a dog in its basket of hares in the open.

I might be writing what people expect me to write writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that I started working with my dreams because I'm not so censored when I use dream material.

It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way whether in material design or execution.

I could design an $800 shoe line it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90.

Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair but simply an integral part of the stuff of life necessary for everyone in a civilized society.

After 1980 you never heard reference to space again. Surface the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism became the focus of design. Space disappeared.

Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity.

The materialistic paradigm of Western science has been a major obstacle for any objective evaluation of the data describing the events occurring at the time of death.

The motif of death plays an important role the human psyche in connection with archetypal and karmic material.

I love being a dad it keeps me fit and inspired and children are so funny. They always supply you with acting material!

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather and by my mother.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

I continue to meet people who have had their Web pages hijacked their browsers corrupted in some cases their children exposed to inappropriate material from these dangerous programs hidden in their family computers.

There is no roles. No one is keeping any roles. The drummer is also answering everybody and everything. So it is a constant conversation and communication between musicians on an extremely high level with extremely valuable material motifs and melodies.

The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music for me is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.

Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.

The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood not so engaged in communication.

This great though disastrous culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.

Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

But once you have satisfied your material needs which I think every wealth creator should - the house the car the plane the boat - what comes next?

Is there some risk every day we walk out our front door? Every time we get in our car? Yeah. Are we materially less safe now than we were 10 years ago? Whatever delta there is it's very small.

I think I'm actually quite a materialistic person I value what it takes to make a car or build a nice house. Money does change things but how it changes people depends on how they react to it.
