Concrete Quotes

We feel we have to put concrete on every inch of land. It disturbs the ecology, and it takes away the experience of a child going out into the woods and seeing all of nature Picture Quote #1

As soon as we confront concrete marriages with other foreign images-such as well-being, happiness, a home for children-marriage appears to be senseless, withered, moribund, and kept alive largely by a great apparatus of psychologists and marriage counselors. Marriage is dead. Long live marriage! Picture Quote #1

I realize that many elements of the Buddhist teaching can be found in Christianity, Judaism, Islam. I think if Buddhism can help, it is the concrete methods of practice Picture Quote #1

The sight of people sleeping on the streets hits us hardest around Christmas and New Year. We see them camped out alone on the freezing concrete, and we think, with a rush of guilt, about heading home to our families and our soft beds Picture Quote #1

The city and nature, the built stone and the found stone, concrete and slate, poetry addresses them all democratically Picture Quote #1

I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I’m not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don’t have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It’s an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair Picture Quote #1

I grew up twelve miles outside of Montego Bay. In my early teens, I went to Kingston. It was like a different planet for me. In the country, people are kind. In the city, people are hard an’ cold, like the concrete and steel Picture Quote #1

Kabul is a walled city, which sounds romantic except the walls are pre-cast reinforced concrete blast barriers, 10 feet tall and 15 feet long and moved into place with cranes. The walls are topped with sandbags, and the sandbags are topped with guard posts from which gun barrels protrude Picture Quote #1

I just can’t recruit where there’s grass around. You gotta have a concrete lawn before I feel comfortable enough to go in and talk to you parents Picture Quote #1

Nothing can prevent your picture from coming into concrete form except the same power which gave it birth Â” yourself. (Genevieve Behrend) Picture Quote #1

From the outset, when [Ho Chi Minh] became a member of the French Communist Party in 1920, he was an independent thinker who adjusted Marxist-Leninist ideas and tactics to what he perceived to be the concrete situation in Indochina Picture Quote #1

The secret of the creative life is how to feel at ease with your own embarrassment. We’re all in the dirty laundry business and we’re being paid to take risks and look silly. Race car drivers get paid to risk their lives in a more concrete way; we get paid to risk our lives in an emotional way Picture Quote #1

Data adds concrete information to a teacher’s observations and intuition, but it will never replace experience, personal relationships, and cultural understanding Picture Quote #1

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but paranoia was what tied it up in a sack and buried it in wet concrete Picture Quote #1

Because my dad’s Chinese-American, and they’re very concrete, he said, ‘There’s no money to be made in literature.’ So he told me to go into the sciences. And I was a good girl. And I did what Daddy said. And that’s how I ended up being a doctor. But you know, you just can’t stamp out that desire to tell stories Picture Quote #1

My work is mostly influenced by the concrete circumstances of our daily lives Picture Quote #1

To the extent that we live in a postmodern world and it shapes the concrete circumstances of our daily lives, I would say postmodernism affects my work or influences my work Picture Quote #1

People who hate in concrete terms are dangerous. People who manage to hate only in abstracts are the ones worth having for your friends Picture Quote #1

The gay life is filled with as much cruelty and loneliness as the heterosexual life... I search into my dreams or desires and try to ask myself how these feelings can be made into concrete images... Are they really abnormal, or are they trying to tell us something we have repressed about ourselves, something we don’t want to see, something about the darker side of the human condition itself? Picture Quote #1

I think that concrete poetry seems to have, as far as I can see, come to a kind of a dead end. It doesn’t seem to be going any further than it went in its high period of about five or six years ago Picture Quote #1

My first car was an 84 Ford Taurus. It caught on fire from me trying to change the fuel pump, so that wasn’t good at all. Dried leaves on the ground while I was trying to change the fuel pump. Don’t do that. Do it on concrete Picture Quote #1

Music videos are very concrete and rigid. They don’t allow for emotional interaction Picture Quote #1

Good poets have written in order to describe something or to preach something - with their eye on the object or the end. The essence of the poetry does not lie in the thing described or in the message imparted but in the resulting concrete unity, the poem Picture Quote #1

Faith is the element that builds the bridge in the absence of concrete evidence Picture Quote #1

We played a lot of sandlot ball, so we were used to tackling each other, or falling on the concrete, things of that nature. And nine times out of 10, our flag games turned into tackle anyway. So when I got to high school, tackle football was kind of natural Picture Quote #1

Churchill strikes a note in my life because my father worked on Mulberry Harbour, which was the code name for the temporary concrete harbours which were towed across the Channel to make the D-day landings in France possible Picture Quote #1

I think you need a concrete, real-world metaphor to talk about inner life without feeling like a jerk Picture Quote #1

For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling, and I don’t have control over whether this feeling is in me or not Picture Quote #1

Assimilation of the fruits of each past life takes place before the spirit descends to rebirth, and consequently, the character generated is fully formed and readily expressed in the subtle, mobile mind-stuff of the Region of Concrete Thought, where the archetype of the coming dense body is built Picture Quote #1

Rather than giving people an inflated view of themselves, we need to give them concrete reasons to feel good about themselves Picture Quote #1
