Akin Quotes

The body moves through space every day, and in architecture in cities that can be orchestrated. Not in a dictatorial fashion, but in a way of creating options, open-ended sort of personal itineraries within a building. And I see that as akin to cinematography or choreography, where episodic movement, episodic moments, occur in dance and film Picture Quote #1

Bottom trawling is a ghastly process that brings untold damage to sea beds that support ocean life. It’s akin to using a bulldozer to catch a butterfly, destroying a whole ecosystem for the sake of a few pounds of protein. We wouldn’t do this on land, so why do it in the oceans? Picture Quote #1

Saying you want to be a model when you grow up is akin to saying you want to win the Powerball when you grow up. It’s awesome, and it’s out of your control, and it’s not a career path Picture Quote #1

The first suit I enjoyed was a Dior suit that I got given. I’ve never worn anything that fitted that closely - it was akin to ‘Oh my God, I had no idea that a suit didn’t have to be this wide.’ But I do intend to get one made some day Picture Quote #1

But the gray and the cold are haunted by a beauty akin to pain, by a sense of a something wanted that never will come again Picture Quote #1

I had expected that at some point during the first draft a light would go on, and I would understand, finally, how to write a book. This never happened. The process was akin to blindly walking in the dark, feeling my way only by touch, and only recognising dead ends when I smacked into them Picture Quote #1

I think philosophers can do things akin to theoretical scientists, in that, having read about empirical data, they too can think of what hypotheses and theories might account for that data. So there’s a continuity between philosophy and science in that way Picture Quote #1

Very different from eros is philia, a serene love much more akin to friendship, with its reciprocal kindnesses. You love each other for the happy experiences and pleasures you share Picture Quote #1

Confessional poetry is, to my mind, more slippery than poems that are sloppily autobiographical; I find the confessional mode much more akin to dramatic monologue Picture Quote #1

For years, I longed to hear Armstrong describe what it was like to contemplate Earth from 238,900 miles away. Former Space Center director George Abbey once told me that many NASA astronauts felt that looking at Earth was akin to a religious experience Picture Quote #1

The rocks are not so close akin to us as the soil; they are one more remove from us; but they lie back of all, and are the final source of all. ... Time, geologic time, looks out at us from the rocks as from no other objects in the landscape Picture Quote #1
