Japanese Quotes

He and I never discussed his parentage, which was an open secret, but it fascinated me Picture Quote #1

I brought in two genius guys from Korea. Guys who did my favorite movies like Oldboy and The Man from Nowhere. It was fun working with them.

There was zero frustration Picture Quote #1

The detention of Japanese Americans during World War II would qualify as an example of majoritarian tyranny and misuse of executive prerogative, driven by fear and racial bias Picture Quote #1

So, fortune cookies: invented by the Japanese, popularized by the Chinese, but ultimately consumed by Americans. They are more American than anything else Picture Quote #1

Activist Supreme Courts are not new. The Dred Scott decision in 1856, imposing slavery in free territories; the Plessy decision in 1896, imposing segregation on a private railroad company; the Korematsu decision in 1944, upholding Franklin Roosevelt’s internment of American citizens, mostly Japanese Americans; and the Roe decision in 1973, imposing abortion on the entire nation; are examples of the consequences of activist Courts and justices Picture Quote #1

I always loved Japanese movies. And they had an enormous impact in France - the Nouvelle Vague took so much from them. It taught us how the camera was placed in the centre of the action Picture Quote #1

Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others’ expectations can be avoided Picture Quote #1

I’d had a relationship with a French girl, a Japanese girl, an American girl, a Filippina and she was there all the time - a Lancashire girl. I thought: ‘It’s a Lancashire girl I was looking for. Why didn’t I realize it?’ Picture Quote #1

Japanese players do not like being thrown into an arena in which they are given very little instruction. You can head in any direction, 360 degrees. They say, ‘What am I supposed to do? Give me hints. Provide me service instead of just throwing me into this arena.’ Picture Quote #1

In terms of the Japanese royal family, they were considered the direct descendants of a God. They are regarded as all-powerful and possessors of unimaginable wealth, and yet they are, more often than not, literally prisoners of tradition Picture Quote #1

Go to any Shinto temple in Japan and you’ll see it: a simple stand from which hang hundreds of wooden postcard-size plaques with a colorful image on one side and, on the other, densely scribbled Japanese characters in black felt-tip pen, pleas to the gods for help or succor Picture Quote #1

The simpler the food, the harder it is to prepare it well. You want to truly taste what it is you’re eating. So that goes back to the trend of fine ingredients. It’s very Japanese: Preparing good ingredients very simply, without distractions from the flavor of the ingredient itself Picture Quote #1

England understands good Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine; in France, we just get French Picture Quote #1

If it weren’t for the Japanese and the Germans, we wouldn’t have any good war movies Picture Quote #1

Rejoicing at their discovery of this delicious mushroom, they danced to celebrate Picture Quote #1

The Japanese always started with the market share of components first. So one would dominate, let’s say, sensors, and someone else would dominate memory, and someone else hard drives and things of that sort Picture Quote #1

A very enjoyable meditation on the curious thing called ‘Zen’ -not the Japanese religious tradition but rather the Western clich of Zen that is embraced in advertising, self-help books, and much more. . . . Yamada, who is both a scholar of Buddhism and a student of archery, offers refreshing insight into Western stereotypes of Japan and Japanese culture, and how these are received in Japan Picture Quote #1
