Linear Quotes

Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid Picture Quote #1

Liberal soccer moms are precisely as likely to receive anthrax in the mail as to develop a capacity for linear thinking Picture Quote #1

Americans don’t understand what metaphor in cinema is about. They’re extremely good at making straightforward, linear narrative movies, which entertain superbly. But they very rarely do anything else Picture Quote #1

My own way of thinking is very conservative, very linear and not particularly imaginative, but if I look for things in different places, sometimes things happen Picture Quote #1

The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body Picture Quote #1

Your mind is the knife that cuts the continuum of space and time into neat slices of linear experience Picture Quote #1

Freud, one of the grand masters of narrative, knew that the past is not fixed in the way that linear time suggests. We can return. We can pick up what we dropped. We can mend what others broke. We can talk with the dead Picture Quote #1

A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have Picture Quote #1

Melody and harmony are like lines and colors in pictures. A simple linear picture may be completely beautiful; the introduction of color may make it vague and insignificant. Yet color may, by combination with lines, create great pictures, so long as it does not smother and destroy their value Picture Quote #1

I do genuinely believe that the political system is not linear. When it reaches a tipping point fashioned by a critical mass of opinion, the slow pace of change we’re used to will no longer be the norm. I see a lot of signs every day that we’re moving closer and closer to that tipping point Picture Quote #1

Really, I’m incredibly disjointed and not candid. Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don’t necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find the linear path. But it will take a second. That is why these interviews never go well for me Picture Quote #1

For within livin structures defined by profit, by linear power, by institutional dehumanization, our feelings were not meant to survive. Kept around as unavoidable adjuncts or pleasant pastimes, our feelings were expected to kneel to thought as women were expected to kneel to men. But women have survived. As poets Picture Quote #1

Linear thinking typifies a highly developed industry. It starts to get these patterns built into it somehow. I’m not sure how that happens, but certainly you take a look at dinosaurs Picture Quote #1

I think it’s been confusing for people because I haven’t had a linear career Picture Quote #1

The linear, mechanistic view of the world which pervades orthodox economics is simply not capable of capturing the richness and complexity of the rhythms and fluctuations of developed economies Picture Quote #1

Our lives today are not conducted in linear terms. They are much more quantified; a stream of random events is taking place Picture Quote #1

The imagery is very much released from reality. It’s not nailed down to specifics of the words. They’re painting a picture, not telling linear stories Picture Quote #1

But why must choices always lie along a linear spectrum with two poles instead of say among a sphere of possibilities Picture Quote #1

In many professions, what used to matter most were abilities associated with the left side of the brain: linear, sequential, spreadsheet kind of faculties. Those still matter, but they’re not enough Picture Quote #1

$Modern humans became fixated on a collective hallucination of linear time, ignoring the fractal spirals of the surrounding universe Picture Quote #1$

All directors make films in individual ways. But the classical kind of view of filmmaking is that you have a script and it’s very linear Picture Quote #1

Life doesn’t move in a linear fashion. Life makes lefts and rights, and it doubles back Picture Quote #1

I’m not a big believer in linear paths. I would always have these sort of five-year plans and think, ‘Ok, I wouldn’t mind to try to get here in five years.’ Picture Quote #1

I feel very protective in the first draft, when all the pieces are coming together. I work in a way that is not linear or chronological at all, even with the short story. I will just be writing bits and pieces, and then when I have all the pieces on the table, that for me is when it feels like the real work begins Picture Quote #1

The five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief Picture Quote #1

I had written a novel that was more of a classic linear novel, and I worked on it and worked on it for years, and it always seemed like it wouldn’t catch fire. At a certain point I just scrapped it all, and I kept maybe 15 percent of it, and I wrote those parts out on note cards Picture Quote #1

I was never very good at math and science, to be honest, so it’s fun to play a character that is so scientific and mathematical, and whose brain functions at such a high pace. The biggest difference is that Maura is very linear in her thinking and very logical. I’m not quite like that. I’m much more laid back and not quite so type A. That’s the big difference Picture Quote #1

People who think achieving success is a linear A-to-Z process, a straight shot to the top, simply aren’t in touch with reality Picture Quote #1
