Politics and ethics belong to different worlds.
We actually believe Windows 8 is the new era for the PC plus. We believe with a single push of a button you can move seamlessly in and out of both worlds. We believe you can have touch, a pen, a mouse, and a keyboard.
I think Chris Van Dusen has got this amazing ability to take Julia Quinn’s extraordinary books and her amazing worlds that she delicately filled with excitement and sexiness. And he takes it to a whole other level.
I don’t know why, but despite winning how many world championships, how many Tour stages, and being 31 years old, some people still thought I had to prove myself, you know. So I had to do the Track Worlds to try to prove myself.
The ideal engine of a 3-D game is an intricate and elegant construct of code that allows players to speed through solidly built virtual worlds. The engine allows every picture on a monitor to be drawn there quickly enough to convince hand and eye that it is instantaneous.
As a child, I had loved history because it showed so many alternative worlds.
Governance is complex, difficult, and on the whole, thankless – why ever should the Bright Young Things leave the management of their hotels, newspapers, banks, TV channels and corporations to join, like fleas on a behemoth, the government? Wherein lies the difference between the two worlds?
Being South Asian in the U.K. is like being Latino in the U.S., I would guess. It’s a bit more hood. You see things; things happen. I was bouncing between worlds. You’re acting from a very early age, when you have to code-switch like that. I’m a hybrid, a mongrel. I think many people live that life.
Science fiction has always been a means for political comment. H.G. Wells’ ‘The War of the Worlds’ wasn’t about a Martian invasion – it was a critique of British colonialism, and… ‘The Time Machine’ is really an indictment of the British class system.
I’ve never been to the Olympics, so I don’t know what to expect. It’s better for me, just like my first Worlds… My third Worlds, I knew what it was like, so I was like, ‘Oh my goodness. But this is my first Olympics, and not knowing what to expect is good for me.
Sharon Shinn is a lover of words and a builder of worlds. She makes science-fiction seem like fantasy. Her characters jump off the page, finding their way under your skin and into your heart.
We all live in different worlds and situations, so what’s the issue with representing that on screen?
God is absolutely holy and wise. His nature, attributes, and power are all holy. He is omnipresent, incorporeal, unborn, immense, omniscient, omnipotent, merciful and just. He is the maker, protector, and destroyer of worlds.
The qubit acts as a bridge between the microscopic and the macroscopic worlds.
Michael Jackson loved epic symbols. In his shows and his videos, he always destroyed or salvaged worlds; he was the hero of parables about street violence, sexual combat, war and natural disaster. It was always apocalypse or apotheosis now.
Egypt really is one of the worlds greatest open-air museums.
When you take a step back and look at the totality of Gov. Newsom’s decisions, time and again California found itself under the nation’s toughest lockdowns – while also experiencing the worst COVID-19 rates. Gov. Newsom gave us the worst of both worlds during this pandemic.
Money opens up wonderful worlds of possibilities.
The addictive pleasure of abandoning yourself to a book, of losing consciousness of your worries, your body, and your surroundings, to become a ghost haunting other worlds has influenced me in many ways.
In the time of the sacred sites and the crashing of ecosystems and worlds, it may be worth not making a commodity out of all that is revered.
I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds, other environments. For me, it was fantasy, but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism.
The bottom line is, like, one in five stars has at least one planet where life might spring up. That’s a fantastically large percentage. That means in our galaxy, there’s on the order of tens of billions of Earth-like worlds.
Movies have been great, but theatre is home. I’ve never been able to compare the two because they are different, special worlds. I’m just lucky to have a place in both.
I really love laser-cutting. I do a lot of laser-cut jewelry and laser-etched stationery. I’ll even etch my food sometimes. You can download an image online and etch it onto a tortilla or a brownie. It’s so cool to meld the digital and analog worlds together.
We’re a migrant nation made up of people who’ve been torn out of other worlds, and you’d think we would have some compassion.
I like working closely with artists. I think that’s very important in fantasy and science fiction – the visual aspect of the worlds and the characters.
When we discover New Earth – a planet we could call home – the question of the ‘plurality of worlds’ will come front and center, reminding us yet again that we are not the center of the universe.
After ‘Sin Nombre,’ I just needed to take a break to go to completely different worlds.
If you remember ‘The Best of Both Worlds,’ you don’t see my name on that… I never wanted no part of that.
For most of us, fanfiction is a non-issue. Even for midlist writers. We will never be popular enough for people to play in our worlds with any frequency. The problem for us is getting people to read and care about our books that much in the first place.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Peter Chelsom and Edgar Wright are totally different directors and worlds apart, but both really accomplished directors who are certain of how they want to make a film.
I have for a long time loved fabulist, imaginative fiction, such as the writing of Italo Calvino, Jose Saramago, Michael Bulgakov, and Salman Rushdie. I also like the magic realist writers, such as Borges and Marquez, and feel that interesting truths can be learned about our world by exploring highly distorted worlds.
My grandparents were wealthy; my mom was not. I would walk into these worlds of privilege and then walk back into this other world. My little brother is biracial. So race and economic class and sexuality – these were always issues that were a part of my life.
I really enjoyed multicamera comedy. You film in front of a live audience, and it’s kind of the best of both worlds. It’s like doing a one-act play every week, but if you screw your lines up, you get to do it over.
I look for anything new and inspiring – in the worlds of makeup but also jewelry and decor. I never know what will inspire me.
I really love the TV thing because it’s a little of the best of all worlds. You have a sense of a family and work with the same people over the seasons.
My idea to bridge the world together with music starting in Asia and going to the West is something that is new, untapped and leading to the future of bringing the worlds together.
It’s fun to peek into other people’s worlds and see how they go about doing things.
If the machines can take the drudgery out of it and just leave us with the joy of drawing, then that’s the best of both worlds – and I’ll use those computers!
We must believe then, that as from hence we see Saturn and Jupiter; if we were in either of the Two, we should discover a great many Worlds which we perceive not; and that the Universe extends so in infinitum.
There are two worlds out there – two Americas out there. If you’re a white person, there’s one way of being a citizen in our country, and if you’re a brown or a black body, there’s another way of being a citizen, and that way is very close to death. It’s very close to the loss of your life.
Working with Dav Pilkey was a dream come true. Dav is incredibly funny, and he’s been a hero of mine for a long time. It was great bringing the ‘Wimpy Kid’ and ‘Captain Underpants’ worlds together!
Before I went to college, I went to the S.N.C.C. office three times a week to offer my services and catch up on my ‘Liberator’ magazine. The other two days, I went to the Lycee Francais to keep my French crisp. I felt comfortable in the diversity of my worlds.
I was 12 when I did ‘Super 8,’ and when Dakota was 12, she did ‘War of the Worlds.’ Steven Spielberg was involved with both movies, so we both worked with Steven when we were 12.
When we imagine our Universe to be just one out of a multitude of possible worlds we devalue this world, the one we see, the one we should be trying to explain.
Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven’s dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds.
Books are low-tech, portable packages of the widest range of human experience, presented in a format which gives time to grasp complex ideas or to spend time in imaginative worlds.
Especially in Europe – the States also, where you’ve got that landmass – but in Europe cultures and landscapes change within a hundred kilometers, and there’s worlds within worlds. Within those worlds, there’s good things going on. Within those worlds, there’s tragic things.
I think I didn’t realise the commitment that came after winning the Worlds.
I love the idea of Pro Tools, but it doesn’t seem as attractive to me in terms of the music-making side. It’s great for recording, but with Logic you get the best of both worlds, the ability to do great tracking and producing something that sounds great as well.
