I’ve written repeatedly about the quest by corporations everywhere to transform themselves digitally.
My real motivation came from my quest for music videos to have the equally soul-touching emotional resonance that straight music does. Honestly, I’m not sure they ever can.
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.
In the quest to be clever, I completely forgot about the people that I love and that love me.
The terrible thing about the quest for truth is that you find it.
In 1991, my father passed away and I went on a spiritual quest. It was a light one, not too terribly deep because I’m not terribly deep, and neither was my father.
Not until the human heart is stolid to poetry, the human eye blind to beauty, not until the intellect ceases its quest for truth and conscience finds its quietus either in universal defeat or in triumphant success, will organized religion cease to be.
I’m on a perpetual quest for air-conditioning.
Making the ‘Sulfur’ video continued our quest to make a video different and visually stimulating.
A Tribe Called Quest was one of those things where it was supposed to be about growth. When I say ‘growth,’ I don’t just mean with our sound or our product, but Tribe was supposed to grow as individuals.
‘Galaxy Quest’ was cool to work on. When I first signed on, I really didn’t know anything about it. I read the script, which I though was cool, but it wasn’t until I saw the designs for the CG stuff that I knew it was going to be pretty sweet.
Costa Rica and Germany have simply been pawns in the Japanese quest to silence Sea Shepherd in an attempt to stop our annual opposition of their illegal whaling activities.
The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.
Every movie has the thing it’s about, and then, deep down, it has this thing that it’s really about. ‘Star Wars’ is not really about a space opera, action, and the galactic quest. It’s about self-doubt.
Mapping, both literal and metaphorical, has always been about our quest for knowing.
I stream this radio station, Radio Nova, that’s based in Paris. They curate a beautiful set that’s really all over the place – they’ll play blues or some West African music, then A Tribe Called Quest, then funk from Ethiopia, then James Brown, and then the Beatles. It’s an amazing mix.
In Vedic times, we had the great quest for the unknown. We did wonderful things; we celebrate our past vigyaan and our wonderful heritage of science and technology of the Vedic times.
‘The Searcher,’ as the title suggests, is about someone in search of something, and I have always loved quest stories and so was drawn to writing one myself.
We long to have a home where civil freedoms are respected, where our children will not be subject to mass surveillance, abuse of human rights, political censorship and mass incarceration. We stand with all the free peoples of the world and hope you stand with us in our quest for justice and freedom.
If you think of all the enduring stories in the world, they’re of journeys. Whether it’s ‘Don Quixote’ or ‘Ulysses,’ there’s always this sense of a quest – of a person going away to be tested, and coming back.
I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

In the quest for more equality in a society, when we think that men aren’t part of the solution, we’re truly wrong… We’re all winners when we unite for more equality.

Economic growth is the aggregate effect of the quest to accumulate capital and extract profit. Capitalism collapses without growth, yet perpetual growth on a finite planet leads inexorably to environmental calamity.
I’m always on a quest to find the next best natural fiber.
The whole theme of Interview with the Vampire was Louis’s quest for meaning in a godless world. He searched to find the oldest existing immortal simply to ask, What is the meaning of what we are?

Our journey in going beyond our home planet is a human endeavor, and in the greatest tradition of exploration, past, present, and future spacefarers will continue to be enduring catalysts for inspiration in our quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe.
The ‘Jonny Quest’ theme had a huge influence on me while I was growing up.
Our public figures are often narcissists, utterly self-absorbed in their quest for power.
Once I made the decision to represent myself, I knew that I was very, very far behind in learning, understanding and in skills. I just went on a quest and spent 16 to 18 hours every day teaching myself the law.
Friction still exists in travel, and we are on a quest to go even further to make the entire experience – from planning to staying and beyond – even easier with technology.
I’m on this eternal quest to get the best guitar sound in the world, but my vision of what is ‘the best’ changes every time I go into the studio. Sometimes my goal is to make my guitar jump out, and sometimes I want it to lay back.
I think the most important reason for our success is that very early in our quest into globalisation, we invested in people – and we have done that consistently and particularly in the service business.
I refuse to accept that the shackles of slavery can ever be stronger than the quest for freedom.
In all our pictures, we had an antagonist who becomes the good guy, and the underdog fulfills his quest.
If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable.
I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.
In 1976 the Toxic Substances Control Act was passed, sending the EPA on a 30-year-plus odyssey chasing down the chemical industry in a fruitless quest for responsibility.
If you take ‘Nothin’ But a G Thang’ by Dr Dre, that could also be an R&B record. ‘Bonita Applebum’ by A Tribe Called Quest could even be a jazz record. ‘Bring Da Ruckus,’ you gotta call it hip-hop.
I always did healthy things. I didn’t sit around in nightclubs. Sure, I had my fair share of fun, but no one could ever accuse me of being a dilettante and doing nothing. I was always on this unbelievable quest to go and do.
It’s a constant quest to push the bar and work in films that allow me to prove what I can do as an artist.
Excalibur’ was a quest for my father. I remember it was manic on the film set. And we had these massive castle sets. I think my dad was under tremendous pressure making the movie because there was so much going on. I remember it was a hard one to make – a lot of stress and strain.
My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I’m afraid if I do, I’ll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats.
My nucleus of friends or something protects me from the machinery that is Hollywood. I don’t think I’m on the same quest that a lot of people are. I guess that could be a limitation.
Quest is at the heart of what I do-the holy grail, and the terror that you’ll never find it, seemed a perfect metaphor for life.
‘The Sword of Shannara’ is about two brothers who find themselves on an epic quest to save humanity. It borrows from ‘Lord of the Rings’ but is still original in its own right. I read it in three days, then reread it, then went out and found every single book Terry Brooks ever wrote, and read all those.
Where ‘Dragon Quest Monsters’ originated from was ‘Dragon Quest V,’ where you had a monster befriending system as a main part: you could actually befriend monsters and have them fight on behalf of your party, as part of your party.
The quest for Tommy Lee Jones’ laugh begins now.
Mikheil Saakashvili can claim that 80 per cent of Georgians wanted to join NATO; on the other hand, a similar percentage of Russians would almost certainly support Putin’s quest for a strong Russia. We would mistake this mood at our peril.
My aunt was a chef and she inspired me deeply so she was a huge motivator but more than anything it was a quest for independence and freedom that lead me to an L.A. Culinary School.
In my opinion, one of the most exciting potentials of the blockchain relate to creating new business models, whether in public or in private settings. In most of these cases, the new models don’t care for incumbents because they are mostly on a disruption quest.
Shooting a film is like a kismet quest. You have thirty days and you need magic to happen. So that’s why I wear suits. I’m praying to the gods, and I’m doing everything I can to respect the powers of the world.
