Making beautiful things for everyday use is a wonderful thing to do – making life flow more easily – but art confronts life, allowing it to stop and perhaps change direction – they are completely different.
Art is about changing what we see in our everyday lives and representing it in such a way that it gives us hope.
I’m always interested in the spooky repurposing of everyday things.
I love the work, I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me, it’s like learning everyday.
I am a very competitive person in everything. Not only F1 but in everyday life.
I love older lady style. They dress for themselves everyday.
Political and economic insecurity inevitably translates into insecurity in people’s everyday lives, from lack of access to welfare to the increasing lack of security in the workplace.
I’ve got a mortgage, and we’ve got three kids we work hard to take care of. I believe that we deserve a seat at the table, too, to represent the voices of everyday people.
I’ve been in the Premier League for 10 years, more, and the money I’ve been paid is phenomenal compared to your average, everyday working man.
As for the forces, electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics, lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.
All of the great social justice advances that we ever had in this country have come not from people with big titles and not from people at the top, but just from everyday people getting together saying ‘Enough is enough. I’m going to change this, and I’m going to get involved, and I am going to be engaged.’
Not only does a good knife make cooking easier, but it makes it safer too. An 8-inch is the sweet spot when it comes to the perfect everyday size.
For all its ubiquity and its universality, war offers the attraction of the extraordinary – the escape from the gray everyday, from the humdrum into higher things.
But, perfection is something that is a constant thing you need to achieve. It is not that you have achieved it and it’s gonna stay. It’s everyday hardwork.
To me, spirituality is the everyday stuff which we’re dealing with all the time. It’s not going into some ecstatic trance. It’s changing a nappy, or making a meal at the end of a very tiring day.
Read with care, George Orwell’s diaries, from the years 1931 to 1949, can greatly enrich our understanding of how Orwell transmuted the raw material of everyday experience into some of his best-known novels and polemics.
We’re blessed on ‘How I Met Your Mother’ to feel like we’re doing a bit of a funny playlet everyday.
The people who founded America, who fought for its freedom, did not look to anyone else to get them out of their troubles. They took matters into their own hands and answered only to God and their peers. In today’s world, sacrifice and hardship are not in the everyday language, and instant gratification is foremost.
Fortunately, problems are an everyday part of our life. Consider this: If there were no problems, most of us would be unemployed.
My go-to shoes for everyday would probably have to be either my white Converse that I’ve had since high school or my black Alexander McQueen flats with the skull on the top. It depends on my day.
I think it’s like that for people who don’t remember 1969 first-hand. It’s that sense of ‘old hat.’ Of ‘been there, done that.’ Space shuttles, space stations, communications satellites, GPS – they’re all part of our everyday, taken-for-granted world in 2009, not part of an incredible odyssey.
I like Dolce & Gabbana’s fragrance Light Blue – it’s my everyday perfume.
Being a father is an everyday challenge. It goes on and on.
Commonly, athletes will bolster their dietary intake with everyday vitamins such as magnesium and iron as well as more exotic products such as whey protein, creatine, carnitine and branched-chain amino acids specifically aimed at improving performance and recovery time.
The reason why I hate working in theatre is the tedium of memorisation. But once that is done, then you feast on this never-ending meal. If you play it correctly, every night is fraught with very high stakes that are very difficult to find in everyday life.
Three days doesn’t sound like a very long time, and under normal, everyday circumstances, it’s not – but under POW camp conditions, it doesn’t take long to wear down a man’s sanity.
I try my best, but at the same time, I try not to let being out with someone affect my everyday life. Like, if I want to go out and grab a smoothie with a friend who’s a male, I’m not gonna let the paparazzi stop me from doing that and living my life and just being a normal person.
Our shows are packed with laughter and light-hearted songs to lift the listener from their everyday life. We encourage the audience to participate in any way.
I would say I’m an inspirational guidelines book. You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them and apply them to your everyday life.
Presidents seem to fall into two positive categories: they’re one of us, or they’re heroes. Both McCain and Obama probably see themselves as potential heroes – presidents who will be looked up to, not presidents everyday people will remark are ‘just like me.’
Documentaries deal with people who live real, everyday lives. But if these people trusted us and told us the truth about their lives, it could be used against them – which sometimes happened.
In the jungle, you learn about the other beauties in life. In everyday life, it’s all about looking perfect, but in there, there’s none of that.
I think as someone who collects beautiful things from the past, the thing that I miss the most about modernism and the things I lament about the past are everyday things that you would use were made more beautifully.
My mum’s really short so she always wears really tall heels, and I used to steal them and now it’s just a part of my everyday life.
If you choose to take your compass from power, in the end you find only despair. But if you look around the world you can see and touch – the everyday world that is too easily dismissed as everyday – you see largeness, generosity, hope, change for the better. It’s always small, but it’s real.
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
In ‘Tree of Life,’ the cinematography records a small story, a celebration of the courage of everyday life. But it does it so up close and so effortlessly that it has the effect of elevating the intimacy of the story to a grand scale.
My emotion is real, and my everyday life is filled with the same feeling.
I love going to work. I love being on-set everyday. It feeds me; it’s exciting.
The main questions of everyday life are too enormous to answer in any definitive sense.
I’m all for the banalities of life and humiliation and everyday tragedies, but I also think people have big moments, and they have bigness in them.
You can communicate a sad message or perplexing message through happy chords or a happy melody, and I hope to have the listener pose more questions in their life as opposed to going along with the everyday and what’s being pushed on them.
You find inspiration everywhere. The best inspiration is the people you grew up with. Nobody else knows about you than when you were just regular, everyday people. That’s where most of it comes from.
If the Internet exists at all in the future, it will be on a much-reduced scale from what we enjoy today, and all the activities of everyday life are not going to reside on it.
I don’t try to represent myself in a way that’s not connected with my everyday reality, because I’m not smart enough to do that.
Soldiers and peasants lived together on friendly terms; they knew each other and their everyday routines, and trusted each other; they shook their heads together over the war.
I think anybody that gives their opinion in a confident way everyday is going to be criticized.
You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
There’s now, for the first time, a huge gulf between the artefacts of our everyday life and what even a single expert, let alone the average child, can comprehend. The gadgets that now pervade young people’s lives, iPhones and suchlike, are baffling ‘black boxes’ – pure magic to most people.
I suffer from everyday life.
At the end of the day, the Internet is full of mean people. Who are these people in their everyday life? I pray for them.
What is consciousness? Our brain simulates reality. So, our everyday experiences are a form of dreaming, which is to say, they are mental models, simulations, not the things they appear to be.
I think any opportunity you have to be green, whether it’s in business or in everyday life, you should take it.
Obama is not the messiah any longer. He is now your standard, ordinary, everyday politician who lies, who breaks promises, who’s in it for himself, who can’t do anything on his own. He’s not qualified. All of this is becoming known, sadly, too late.
When I was younger it was twice a day with a game on the weekend. Then when I got older, three times a day everyday in college and on the national team.
