Compelling Quotes

Britney [Spears]’s actually kind of like a broken-down shell of a human being, that’s what makes her so endearing and compelling Picture Quote #1

Thinking through how you find that intersection between individual, compelling human narratives and structural, systemic injustices - that’s the place that’s most interesting to me as a reporter Picture Quote #1

Popular films are so powerful and compelling that it’s often easier to accept their versions of history than the much more complicated true stories Picture Quote #1

Sorry your compelling company name is impossible to spell, pronounce, or remember Picture Quote #1

Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport.

As a writer, I have to admit, there is something darkly compelling about Alzheimer’s because it attacks the two things most central to a writer’s craft - language and memory, which together make up an individual’s identity.

Dressing badly has been a refuge much of my life, a way of compelling others to engage with my mind, not my physical presence. Page. 283 Picture Quote #1

Find something that you love to do, and find a place that you really like to do it in. I found something I loved to do. I’m a mechanical engineer by training, and I loved it. I still do. My son is a nuclear engineer at MIT, a junior, and I get the same vibe from him. Your work has to be compelling. You spend a lot of time doing it Picture Quote #1

Mental disorders don’t really live ‘out there’ waiting to be explained. They are constructs we have made up - and often not very compelling ones Picture Quote #1

It [Lincoln movie] had nothing to do with politics. It had nothing to do with holding a mirror up to the way we conduct our business on Capitol Hill. This was meant to be a story, a Lincoln portrait if you will. I think any time is the right time for a very compelling story, any time Picture Quote #1

Perhaps love is a compelling necessity imposed on man by God that has something to do with suffering Picture Quote #1

The bottom line is that we have entered an age when local communities need to invest in themselves. Federal and state dollars are becoming more and more scarce for American cities. Political and civic leaders in local communities need to make a compelling case for this investment Picture Quote #1

My position is that it is high time for a calm debate on more fundamental questions. Does human spaceflight continue to serve a compelling cultural purpose and/or our national interest? Or does human spaceflight simply have a life of its own, without a realistic objective that is remotely commensurate with its costs? Or, indeed, is human spaceflight now obsolete? Picture Quote #1

Wikistrat is my ninth start-up, so I’ve been through this process a few times. You have to go with what works. The power of example is compelling, so model the ideas that you want someone to understand Picture Quote #1

The technologies for the alternative energy sources exists today. The economics are compelling. The public health is compelling. Why would we maintain a focus on a 17th-century technology, when there are 21st-century alternatives that are both necessary and available? And the answer is the subversion of democracy Picture Quote #1

Robotics has been around forever, and it’s been the next big thing forever, and it is so exciting and compelling that it’s easy to get carried away. People almost always do, and that’s one of the things that has held back the industry Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really - at least intellectually and creatively - have a particularly compelling experience in college. But during my junior year, they made the TED talks public. So I started listening to them. They were producing one per day, and I was listening to one per day, every day, at the gym Picture Quote #1

I know, when I look into the eyes of my own children, the look of wonder when I speak of life back in the 60s. That’s why the Rolling Stones are such a hit even in their 60s, why Dennis Hopper is so compelling, even when he’s making pitches for something unhip as long-term financial planning Picture Quote #1

As a practical matter, I like the dramatic monologue for its compelling intimacy. To be inside one’s character, to register his or her every vagrant thought, emotion, and response - the first-person viewpoint grants this privilege and immediacy Picture Quote #1

Some of my favorite moments from The Vampire Diaries were from season 3. I found the storyline between Stefan and Klaus to be extremely compelling. It was a friend/foe type friendship, rooted in depth that took us back to the 1920s Picture Quote #1

What if instead of seeing a neighborhood that reminds you of the place you grew up in, you see your actual neighborhood? The data exists. The technology exists. It’s just a matter of sourcing it and processing it in a compelling fashion Picture Quote #1

Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you’re younger. But I haven’t abandoned the genre: I love falling down; I love Lucille Ball. It’s just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can’t convincingly portray at this age Picture Quote #1

Every movie has three things you have to do - you have to have a compelling story that keeps people on the edge of their seats; you have to populate that story with memorable and appealing characters; and you have to put that story and those characters in a believable world. Those three things are so vitally important Picture Quote #1

Characters last. Beautiful writing lasts. A compelling narrative lasts. Art survives long after ideas go extinct Picture Quote #1
