Form Quotes
Motion pictures are the art form of the 20th century, and one of the reasons is the fact that films are a slightly corrupted artform. They fit this century - they combine Art and business! - Roger Corman Quotes

Lying is the most simple form of self-defence. - Susan Sontag Quotes
Celibacy is the worst form of self-abuse. - Peter De Vries Quotes
I believe in broken, fractured, complicated narratives, but I believe in narratives as a vehicle for truth, not simply as a form of entertainment, though I love entertainment, but also a way of conveying what needs to be conveyed about the works that I care about. - Stephen Greenblatt Quotes

If an election is simply a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions, then this is not a very noble form of government. - James Bovard Quotes

It would follow that significant form was form behind which we catch a sense of ultimate reality. - Clive Bell Quotes
For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court; our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure. - Sir Arthur Eddington Quotes
From a very early period of my life I have derived the highest enjoyment from listening to music, especially to melody, which is to me the most pleasing form of composition. - James Nasmyth Quotes

You compose because you want to somehow summarize in some permanent form your most basic feelings about being alive, to set down... some sort of permanent statement about the way it feels to live now, today. - Aaron Copland Quotes
Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication. - Trevor Dunn Quotes
There is a paradox because I think youve struck a chord there that we ought to simply pursue - it is true that music is a form of communication. - Leo Ornstein Quotes
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism. - Carl Jung Quotes
Dont be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. - John Keats Quotes
The type of contract between players and producers is, I feel, antiquated in form and abstract in concept. We have no privacies which producers cannot invade, they trade us like cattle, boss us like children. - Teresa Wright Quotes
That which makes people dissatisfied with their condition, is the chimerical idea they form of the happiness of others. - James Thomson Quotes
