. . . a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
When we live without listening to the timing of things, when we live and work in twenty-four-hour shifts without rest – we are on war time, mobilized for battle. Yes, we are strong and capable people, we can work without stopping, faster and faster, electric lights making artificial day so the whole machine can labor without ceasing. But remember: No living thing lives like this. There are greater rhythms, seasons and hormonal cycles and sunsets and moonrises and great movements of seas and stars. We are part of the creation story, subject to all its laws and rhythms.
No subject is unsuitable for comedy.
It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.
Drop the whole subject and put it out of your mind and let your subconscious do its thing.
Whoever our students may be, whatever the subject we teach, ultimately we teach who we are.
The principal subject is the surface, which has its color, its laws over and above those of object.
We live in an age of knowledge, with the great god Google, that we can refer to at any time on any subject.
LIVE. If you live, god will live with you. If you refuse to run his risks, he'll retreat to that distant heaven and be merely a subject for philosophical speculation.
If it's bad art, it's bad religion, no matter how pious the subject.
I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.
Surrealism! What is Surrealism? In my opinion, it is above all a reawakening of the poetic idea in art, the reintroduction of the subject but in a very particular sense, that of the strange and illogical.
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
Either the future is subject to chance--in which case nobody, not even a god, can affect it one way or the other--or it is predestined, in which case foreknowledge cannot avert it.
Truths are known to us in two ways: some are known directly, and of themselves; some through the medium of other truths. The former are the subject of Intuition, or Consciousness; the latter, of Inference; the latter of Inference. The truths known by Intuition are the original premisses, from which all others are inferred.
For me, if the writing and - by extension - the subject matter and the characters are all good, it doesn't matter if it's film or TV. Each medium has great things going for it.
It is absurd to expect the inclinations and wishes of two human beings to coincide, through any long period of time. To oblige them to act and live together is to subject them to some inevitable potion of thwarting, bickering, and unhappiness.
For after the subject is removed or the eye shut, we still retain an image of the things seen, though more obscure than when we see it. . . Imagination, therefore, is nothing more than decaying sense.
I care not what subject is taught, if only it be taught well.
My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.
