In a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn.
Art and religion first; then philosophy; lastly science. That is the order of the great subjects of life, that’s their order of importance.
The incredible cinematography makes ‘A Walk to Beautiful’ almost like a poem; there is a tenderness on display that seems to emanate from the camera. There is also great sensitivity to the women whose stories are being told – never did I have a sense of the subjects being exploited.
I actually wanted to be a forensic scientist for a while. When I was doing my Standard Grades, three of them were science subjects. The interest in science didn’t wear off, but I found other interests.
My job was to teach the whole corpus of economic theory, but there were two subjects in which I was especially interested, namely, the economics of mass unemployment and international economics.
I love to write. I used to be a math teacher. And I like the idea that other people could write about the same subjects, but no one would write it just the way I do. It’s very individual: a child could write the same story as somebody else, but it wouldn’t come out the same.
The Methodists love your big sinners, as proper subjects to work upon.
It’s always a balance between something that touches you intimately and something that you think is going to be generous – I like to find intimate, subtle subjects and bring them into strong story telling.
OOO objects have all the abjection added back in. They don’t behave like normalized patriarchal subjects at all.
Young photographers must experiment all the time and not be frightened of using light – freely-shooting straight into the light if need be – making an effort to get new angles on much photographed subjects, and also discovering chemical properties of film itself.
To do art, one thing should always remember – subjects of people in misery have deep meanings.
Listening to the stories my colleagues are researching and grappling with – in terms of access to documents, psychological understanding of their subjects, artful composition and determination to extrapolate from an individual’s life lessons and insights that we can all learn from – I am each time overwhelmed by joy.
I wanted to write a commentary on the Bible, to write about the Talmud, about celebration, about the great eternal subjects: love and happiness.
I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
It seems kosher and OK to treat women as objects because the business of cinema is about images and when you have fragmented images of a woman’s bosom and her swiveling hip and her twisting navel, it robs the woman of all autonomy and subjects her to the male gaze.
Now the main areas of higher education that still enjoy considerable financial support from government are subjects like engineering and science and the research ringfence which is the basic minimum to protect Britain’s scientific competitiveness.
You can hear my opinion on various subjects, but telling my story is the most authentic thing I can do. There’s nothing more powerful I can share with an audience.
Take any movie from ‘Khamoshi’ to ‘Black,’ I was always clear about my subjects.
I love and I’m intrigued by what history does to people and to subjects that matter.
A lot of subjects are untouched by the Indian Television.
I was a popular professor. My teaching ratings were usually good. I could take complicated subjects and explain them in an entertaining way.
Teaching children about entrepreneurship is much like imparting any other skill or piece of knowledge. You will provide them with ways to experience how entrepreneurship works, and you guide them toward the subjects or areas they seem to show an interest in.
In England, the sovereignty resides exclusively in the person or individual who is king. All Englishmen are his subjects. And the highest peer in the realm… has no share in the sovereignty.
The documentaries I made were never normal documentaries. They were about subjects I was obsessed with, and I suppose I thought I could sculpt them. What I think I do with my fiction is the same.
You have two choices, two paths to take as a comedian. You can tackle the difficult subjects and be harsh about it, be brash, be abrasive. But adding hatred to racism is not going to help everybody. So I like to have fun around it.
When women do take on traditionally male subjects, certain male colleagues can seem affronted that a woman has dared to trespass on their subject. I could given you dozens of examples, but here’s one: Max Hastings’s review in the ‘Sunday Times’ in 2009 of Miranda Carter’s book ‘The Three Emperors’.
I had this inferiority complex as a child, as I was not good at speaking. I was also not good in studies or sports and would often flunk in four-five subjects.
I’m open to writing just about anything. I love writing the books that I write. They do tend to be on dark subjects, but I don’t think of myself necessarily as a dark-humored person. I like having a lot of fun.
Perhaps more than English or history, STEM subjects require an enormous amount of foundational learning before students can become competent.
All my shows are therapy, trying to navigate interesting subjects so I can work them out and to be honest and say some things are beyond the wit of this man.
Most people think of cinematographers as choosing subjects of an epic nature to show off what they do – big, sweeping images of war or pageantry.
The Patriot Act addresses various subjects. Some sections are beneficial and enhance our national security.
The thing I wonder about is where does Brian’s creative spark come from? Not his subjects or anything, but his spark. What makes it so great for me is that I really don’t know. There’s a mystery behind Brian, even to me.
Leftists always want to… circle around subjects… rather than addressing any subject directly.
The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.
I like to do realistic films as well as sensible humourous subjects, just because I think these films are only capable to attract people to the theatres. Though I agree that serious movies are also good and I like to watch them, it is a fact that majority of the people are hesitant to go to theatres for those films.
I read kind of serious books about fairly arcane subjects.
Do not talk a little on many subjects, but much on a few.
The problem is, you see, I’ve just got so many subjects I want to direct.
War is the easiest photography in the business. Just get close, be lucky, know how your camera works. There are subjects everywhere. Everyplace you go, there is something to photograph in a war, like being in the middle of a hurricane or a train crash or an earthquake. You can’t miss it.
There are certain topics that I’ve come back to time and again throughout my career. On ‘To the Bone,’ there are certain subjects I have touched on before.
I established my first writing routine when I was 13. The school year had just ended, and I’d won a stack of books for being the best student in a number of subjects. The pile included several 60-leaved notebooks that I decided to fill with short stories.
But the nature of my main work in chemistry can be better represented by more than 280 English publications, of which roughly 200 concern the theory of chemical reactions and related subjects.
Pharma companies don’t have a direct relationship with consumers, so they’re always subjects.
I think there’s a lot of anxiety about being seen as a bad parent. There’s still a lot of subjects that I think people aren’t entirely comfortable being honest about.
By the time you get to your sixth record, some of the benefits of being in a band are grander than ever, but some of the obstacles are just massive. You deal with these lateral subjects, and all that is left is the elephant in the room.
No movie has ever been able to provide a catharsis for the Holocaust, and I suspect none will ever be able to provide one for 9/11. Such subjects overwhelm art.
The purposeful restriction of knowledge has been at the heart of untold misery and hardship in this world. Serfs were kept illiterate so as to not jeopardize the feudal system. Slaves were kept in the dark on a variety of subjects so as to not provide them the possibility of escape.
For while the subjects of poetry are few and recurrent, the moods of man are infinitely various and unstable. It is the same in all arts.
I don’t like taboo subjects and I don’t like elephants in the room. If there’s an elephant in the room, I really want to absolutely examine it.
In terms of tackling different subjects, I can’t really think of anything I wouldn’t want to try; that’s the fun of it right? Each new style brings new challenges – not that you shouldn’t focus on one and master it, but it takes so long to make a film, you just want to have some variety.
I was never particularly academic, so it was no great surprise when I failed my 11-plus and consequently went to Wibsey Secondary Modern. I did all right in English, history and music, which were the subjects that most interested me.
