I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin so you try to make the films really tactile.
The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.
Of the 55 refineries closed in America in the last 10 years they were all closed for economic reasons mostly oil company mergers. Not a single one was closed for environmental purposes or objections.
As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor it is rather to be rejoiced in than lamented that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
It has never been my object to record my dreams just the determination to realize them.
Love is such an objective thing. I mean I can say I love my family or I love my Diet Coke. So I guess in different ways yeah I do believe in love.
But my point is that you design something in the end that precludes any unhealthy trading practices that are not going to serve your environmental or your economic objectives but now is not the time to do it.
I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning number one I'm a mother and a wife and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create hopefully exquisitely beautiful desirable objects for my customer.
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 darkness of death is like the evening twilight it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached even death.
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and while it is true that the suicide braves death he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
I was never interested in making cool distilled pure objects.
I don't start with a design objective I start with a communication objective. I feel my project is successful if it communicates what it is supposed to communicate.
We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him split as it is in its submission to symbols.
I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don't agree with what they teach you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.
The car is a character in the piece - I've never liked the car I submitted to it's objectionable popularity.
The will is never free - it is always attached to an object a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car - it can't steer.
There are certain times I don't want my picture taken. If my wife's stepping out of a car and it looks like it's going to come out an indecent picture don't I have a right to object?
McSweeney's as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object.
There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change?
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
