Today continuing poverty and distress are a deeper and more important cause of international tensions, of the conditions that can produce war, than previously.
My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made.
The biggest change we have to tackle that’s out there is that we’re digging the hole deeper and deeper and spending is totally out of control. And that’s something that, quite frankly, is affecting future generations. You’re giving a lot of debt to them and you can’t keep doing it. It’s not helping anybody.
Walmart and other big-boxers could become the center of gravity for the conservation of goods, employ people with actual know-how, and develop deeper, longer term, more profitable relationships with their customers.
Stardom is no longer the fuel of my soul. It is the deeper aspects of life that nurture me. And I realise I am very blessed.
I desire a greatness of soul, an irradiance of mind, a deeper insight, a broader hope.
When designing your product, go beyond consumers’ current knowledge base. Design, test, and dig deeper than almost any client would pay you to do.
People in rock had this idea that rappers aren’t talented. In my opinion we’re better writers, we think deeper, and our concepts are harder – Rap evolves faster than any other genre.
In Scripture, when something is repeated, especially a name, it shows an emotional connection, a deeper sense of meaning.
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.
A lot of people get upset by any protest – people taking a knee during the national anthem or raising a fist. As if we’re being disrespectful. Or rude to the national anthem or to our soldiers, you know what I’m saying? It’s deeper than that.
As filmmakers, we’re constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we’re telling.
There’s a deeper level of healing that needs to happen for the world in general. There’s a mass of people who are broken.
I think my music’s more disturbing than Tupac’s – or at least I thought some of the themes of ‘The Downward Spiral’ were more disturbing on a deeper level – you know, issues about suicide and hating yourself and God and people and everything else.
Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company’s existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.
The deeper your regional integration, the more value chain activity you generate, but the more you close the gap between your small and your large companies.
I’m just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.
If the story is good enough, if it’s imaginative enough, if it’s moving enough it is going to reach deeper than the level of sheer information and change somebody’s life two degrees. That is an enormous achievement.
I choose to believe that there is good in people and that everything is a lesson. Our place on Earth is to go deeper, to somehow get wiser. To have spirit.
I have traveled down this path before – ‘List of Seven’ and ‘Twin Peaks’ both have thematic similarities – but ‘Paladin’ took me much deeper into the intuitive underground. Always bearing in mind Joseph Campbell’s Rule No. 1: When entering a labyrinth, don’t forget your ball of twine.
I was listening to one of my favorite songs that Phil wrote and had an extreme emotional moment just before I got the news of his passing. I took that as a special spiritual message from Phil saying goodbye. Our love was and will always be deeper than any earthly differences we might have had.
I really have shaken hands with where my voice is right now. I think it’s got a little deeper; it’s got some more grooves in it.
I like the idea of the documentary as a portrait. There’s not a chronological beginning, middle, and end structure. You build something in the editing room that’s shaped by getting to know the person and digging deeper, unpeeling the layers of them as you get to know them.
There’s a lot of black men running around with crazy trauma scars, and they should be going to therapy. They should be sitting down and talking to people. But they can’t. If you’ve got the armor of being a man, and the armor of being a black man, that hyper-masculine thing can make those scars deeper.
It seems to me that since I’ve had children, I’ve grown richer and deeper. They may have slowed down my writing for a while, but when I did write, I had more of a self to speak from.
My poems are political in the deeper sense of the word. Political means to live in your time, to be a man of your time.
Poles have a mistrust of the West and an even deeper mistrust of the East.
The most casual reader of the New Testament can scarcely fail to see the commanding position the resurrection of Christ holds in Christianity. It is the creator of its new and brighter hopes, of its richer and stronger faith, of its deeper and more exalted experience.
I want people to become more comfortable with deeper looks at the things that they love. It doesn’t mean that you have to stop loving them, it just means that you have a more complete understanding of them.
I thought at the time of my parents’ divorce that I was upset by deeper, more profound things and I was just taking it out on the joint custody agreement. But that disruption was bad enough. That was a huge deal for a teenager.
How quick are we to learn: that is, to imitate what others have done or thought before. And how slow to understand: that is, to see the deeper connections.
Because Iranians have had to fight so long and painfully for political freedom, they have a deep appreciation for its value – perhaps deeper than many in the West who take their electoral rights for granted.
Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.
But, it’s because we have a harder way to succeed in life as Serbs because of the past that we had and because of the history that we had. We have to dig deeper and we have to do much more in order to be seen and to be spotted.
We can see, so we are always blind to things deeper than skin.
When a black church is hit in South Carolina by someone with hate in their spirit, that’s something that touches all of America, but as a person of color, I see that story even through a deeper prism of, ‘Gosh, that takes us back to a time when black churches were targets in this country.’
All good actors are actresses. The more like a woman they are, the better they act, because a man’s salvation is his femininity. Women have stronger sensibilities than men, which allows them to go a bit deeper when they are on and off the stage.
I love to look good – I love to get glammed up – but it’s not the most important thing in my world, and I’m not afraid to not be perfect. I can see where there is a lot of pressure ’cause we live in a very visual world, but I try to go a bit deeper than that. Things are just more important!
Whatever is said about roles drying up, I intend to keep working. Certainly now the roles couldn’t be more interesting – playing mothers, divorcees. I think it’s going to be exciting to play a mother of teenagers. The longer your life, the deeper it gets.
While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.
Speaking as a midfield player myself, I know it’s easier to make your runs into the box from that deeper, more central position. You can gauge where the ball is going to land and how best to time your run.
But novels are never about what they are about; that is, there is always deeper, or more general, significance. The author may not be aware of this till she is pretty far along with it.
If you be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams – the more they are condensed the deeper they burn.
I am paid to dive deeper into my own humanity and do that with other people in collaboration… so that, in and of itself, I just feel like is the greatest privilege in the world.
I would say ‘Home’ is a lot richer and deeper than my earlier classical.
In many ways, ‘Lords of Chaos’ is my first real movie. I went deeper with this film than any of my other movies. I approached my other films like I did my music videos or commercials, like jobs. But ‘Lords of Chaos’ I wrote myself, and it’s a close, personal story.
