We used to go to movies to see stories about ourselves. It would transport us to new worlds and we’d see aspects of ourselves reflected back.
Bilingualism lets you have your cake and eat it. The new language opens the doors to the best jobs in society; the old language allows you to keep your sense of ‘who you are.’ It preserves your identity. With two languages, you have the best of both worlds.
We’re not just polluting a river and killing a couple of top predator animals; we’re eradicating the krill, the necessary algae. We’re dismantling the insect and amphibian worlds. We’re going for the building blocks.
I like to jump into different worlds. I’m attracted to the emotional rollercoaster of acting. Now I’ve been doing it for so many years, I must rather enjoy it.
Going to Liberia really changed a lot for me. I didn’t realize what was happening on the same planet. My understanding that in the world everything is interconnected really grew – to go to one of the poorest countries from one of the richest countries in the world. It was two worlds apart.
Like many of the ideas that mattered in the American Revolution, extraterrestrials got their start in antiquity. The Greek philosopher Epicurus speculated that the universe must be infinite, eternal and abounding in ‘worlds’ just like our own.
Pop is fusing more with the urban; urban is becoming the new pop. The two worlds are colliding and kind of merging.
Imagination tends to be truly useful if accompanied by the power of mental control – if the worlds in one’s head can be purposefully manipulated and distinguished from the real one outside it.
There are as many worlds as there are kinds of days, and as an opal changes its colors and its fire to match the nature of a day, so do I.
It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.
I have a commitment to real worlds on screen. I like working in real communities. I like telling real stories.
I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.
I feel like you are allowed in fiction to embrace imagination and try to enter other worlds. And I feel like you should push yourself to try to persuade your reader that you have the authority to engage with people who, you know, lived in the past, who live in the future, other genders, other places, other cultures.
One of the weapons Marvel used in its climb to comic-book dominance was a willingness to invent new characters at a dizzying speed. There are so many Marvel universes, indeed, that some superheroes do not even exist in one another’s worlds, preventing gridlock.
Humans seem to be programmed to think of ambivalent feelings at the same time. That is the driving force behind human beings: to be the warrant of all things and to control other worlds.
Performing with Thomas Rhett our song ‘Craving You,’ I’m so excited for the fans to see it and sort of see our worlds come together because I feel like he’s sort of a genre pusher and boundary pusher, and I feel the same way about my music.
Naturally, we think that finding another Earth-like planet is identifying a site that’s at least friendly here for the evolution of life. The primary goal of the Kepler mission is to statistically assess the occurrence of these small terrestrial worlds.
‘Notting Hill?’ Does that poke fun at being British? Maybe it does. In ‘Mickey Blue Eyes,’ that’s kind of the point: the clash of worlds, the unlikely combo of a respectable Englishman and a mob guy. If you take out the Britishness, you don’t really have much.
I love horror, mystery, and science fiction, and Poe was one of the founding fathers of those worlds.
The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting. I think getting beyond the four edges of an opportunity or challenge is one of the basic skills you need in business.
While actors are great and awesome, writers literally create new worlds from scratch. What is sexier than that? Personally, I don’t know why every last person out there isn’t dating a writer.
I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. ‘Alien’, ‘Blade Runner’ just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar reasons.
I really love New York, and I’ve lived here for a long time. I know not just the different neighborhoods but the different kind of class cultures in New York from the up-and-coming, down-and-out kind of artist to the powerful worlds of finance.
I kind of prefer bouncing back and forth between theater and films. It’s like having the best of both worlds, both very different experiences.
Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.
Here on Earth, we’ve found organisms that thrive in environmental conditions we would have once thought uninhabitable. The presence of these extremophiles suggests that life could potentially take hold on worlds other than our own.
I think anytime you’re writing to the middle grades, you’re writing to young readers who are trapped in a number of ways between two worlds: between childhood and adulthood, between their friends and their parents.
Yes, it’s possible to have the best of both worlds. My personal life is going great, and so is my career. Who says I have to give one up to have the other?
I’ve made a career writing about fictitious anti-heroes. To create these worlds, I’ve spent a lot of time with active members on both sides of the law. And if I had to pick the most interesting of the two, the choice is obvious – we all love the guys in black.
If you watch young children play, you will notice that they create games, characters, situations, whole worlds in which they immerse themselves with intense concentration.
In the early and mid 1990s, every musician I knew was obsessed with Helium. The ‘Pirate Prude’ EP and ‘Pat’s Trick’ played on repeat at nearly every gathering I attended. And we didn’t just listen to these records – we discussed them, the worlds they opened, novelistic and strange.
And now that Martina McBride knows of T.I., and T.I. knows of Martina McBride, that made me very happy, too. It’s introducing worlds to different people and bringing them together with a song.
Many of us in Congress have been calling on the Administration to articulate a bold mission for NASA. It seems that the President is answering that call. I wholeheartedly support his vision for going back to the moon, and from there to worlds beyond.
The genre of horror is really just a way to manage much larger, much more terrifying realities in our daily worlds.
Every film that gets made, and I’m not just talking about ‘Star Wars,’ I’m talking about Marvel, DC, every tent pole film – they seem to just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. The worlds get bigger, the stakes get bigger.
I want to do a lot of different things and dive into different worlds.
The stupidity of militarized fences between two worlds is a metaphor for all the things that divide us as human beings.
Science fiction is essentially a kind of fiction in which people learn more about how to live in the real world, visiting imaginary worlds unlike our own in order to investigate, by way of pleasurable thought-experiments, how things might be done differently.
I moved back to Buffalo in 2009, and I had this moment where I wanted to have the best of both worlds. I wanted to be able to be in church and cook at home but then still get on a plane and fly back to New York and be this supermodel.
I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they’re from a different time and era.
There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they’re really very different. I feel like they’re just two different ways to channel my creativity.
When you walk through the hospital, you waiver between feeling bad for everyone else and feeling bad for yourself. It’s a war of the worlds – the healthy and the sick.
The philosophical connection between the Islamic world and the West is much closer than I thought. Doubt did not begin with Descartes. We have this construction today that the West and Islam are entirely separate worlds. This is wrong.
People say I make strange choices, but they’re not strange for me. My sickness is that I’m fascinated by human behavior, by what’s underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people.
The fight game and the commentary game are two different worlds.
A lot of times you have very ego-driven actors and actresses that stay in their little world, and when you have a scene together, your worlds meet for a moment. But I don’t think that makes for a very good cohesion.
I was a fan of Lance Armstrong, and I remember watching him win the Worlds in ’93 in Oslo.
I’ve got the best of all worlds. It’s every actor’s dream to wake up in New York City and go to an acting job rather than to a restaurant to wash dirty dishes. And I live so close to the studios that I ride my bike to work.
It is an odd thing about newspapers that they live by exposure, yet they keep their own worlds concealed.
I still recommend reading travel guides as an insight to a traveller’s perspective on fantasy worlds. Nearly all characters end up travelling at some point, and they have many of the same needs and concerns covered in travel guides.
