Official Quotes

We have to repair that trust... I think anytime a public official lies, he undermines his own authority and squanders the public trust Picture Quote #1

By the numbers, by all the official records, here at the confluence of history, of racism, of poverty, and economic power, this is what our lives are worth: nothing Picture Quote #1

And the issue is never the merits of the evidence but always the jealous rivalry of the contestants to see which would be the official light unto the world. Right down to the present day we have been the spectators of a foolish contest between equally vain and bigoted rivals Picture Quote #1

A bureaucrat is an official who is clothed with power and whom it doesn’t fit Picture Quote #1

It always blows me away when I see people freak out because I’ve changed my mind on something. I’m not an elected official, folks. I didn’t get my job by promising a bunch of things. I’m a businessman and a creator. If I don’t have the ability to change my mind, if I don’t have the ability to be open to different points of view, then I can’t do this job properly Picture Quote #1

True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping, understanding and utilization, although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world Picture Quote #1

He looked at the book, took my name, and consulted his records. Then he informed me I had been lost at sea and was dead. Under the circumstances, he could not possibly give me any money... Even the fact that he was dealing with someone who had been dead for several days failed to awaken interest in his official heart Picture Quote #1

An artist, if he’s unselfish and passionate, is always a living protest. Just to open his mouth is to protest: against conformism, against what is official, public, or national, what everyone else feels comfortable with, so the moment he opens his mouth, an artist is engaged, because opening his mouth is always scandalous Picture Quote #1

Of course, we knew that the official reports were sketchy, if not falsified. But, in terms of information theory, this is precisely where the problem lay: How were we to reconstruct reality from incomplete or false reports? It is not true that virtually all news in a totalitarian state is false. On the contrary, most news is completely correct, albeit tendentiously slanded; it is just that certain information is suppressed. One can adjust for the political slanting of the news, but there is virtually no way to fill in the omissions Picture Quote #1

Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires Picture Quote #1

If every head of state and every government official spent an hour a day reading poetry we’d live in a much more humane and decent world Picture Quote #1

The tragedy of feminine design is that it receives so little official support. Most of the world’s design schools, having been organized by men, encourage a masculine approach, even when they are run by women. Yet many designers who are male in the biological sense have a feminine approach to design Picture Quote #1

Any time an elected official in the world we’re in today that appears so dysfunctional challenges a core constituency not of their opponent but of their own political base, I think we should pause and give them credit Picture Quote #1

One of the most lethal mistakes a public official can make is raising taxes and not paying your own Picture Quote #1

I’m not an elected official who puts a finger in the wind to see what the majority thinks; I represent women, whether they’re popular or not Picture Quote #1

There is no other way to break the frozen cinematic conventions than through a complete derangement of the official cinematic senses Picture Quote #1

There are two histories : official history, lying, and then secret history, where you find the real causes of events Picture Quote #1

The censorship method... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient Picture Quote #1

It is a rather curious thing to have to divide one’s life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one’s official duties are at an end Picture Quote #1
