Motion Quotes
-
Basic dance - and I should qualify the word basic - is primarily concerned with motion. So immediately you will say but the basketball player is concerned with motion. That is so-but he is not concerned with it primarily. His action is a means towards an end beyond motion. In basic dance the motion is its own end-that is, it is concerned with nothing beyond itself.
Alwin Nikolais
-
True power is stillness within motion.
Lao Tzu
-
When things are in order, if the cause of the orderliness cannot be deduced from the motion of the elements or from the composition of matter, it is quite possibly a cause possessing a mind.
Johannes Kepler
-
[The heart is] really a fascinating organ. It's about the only organ in the body that you can really witness its function. Doing things. And so on. Some of the other organs you can witness, like the intestines, will have this sort of peristaltic motion. But nothing that can compare with the activity of the human heart.
Denton Cooley
-
To derive two or three general Principles of Motion from Phænomena, and afterwards to tell us how the Properties and Actions of all corporeal Things follow from those manifest Principles, would be a very great step in Philosophy.
Isaac Newton
-
We, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion.
Aristotle
-
Pictures, propagated by motion along the fibers of the optic nerves in the brain, are the cause of vision.
Isaac Newton
-
The motion picture is like journalism in that, more than any of the other arts, it confers celebrity. Not just on people - on acts, and objects, and places, and ways of life. The camera brings a kind of stardom to them all. I therefore doubt that film can ever argue effectively against its own material: that a genuine antiwar film, say, can be made on the basis of even the ugliest battle scenes ... No matter what filmmakers intend, film always argues yes.
Renata Adler
-
Why not pick up the new full-length motion picture at the corner drugstore and then run it through one's home TV receiver?
Jack Gould
-
Marketing's job is never done. It's about perpetual motion. We must continue to innovate every day.
Beth Comstock
-
The final cause, then, produces motion through being loved.
Aristotle
-
Love works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.
Thomas Aquinas
-
The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.
Isaac Newton
-
Emotion is changed by motion.
Anthony Robbins
-
It appears, from all that precedes, reasonably certain that if there be any relative motion between the earth and the luminiferous ether, it must be small; quite small enough entirely to refute Fresnel's explanation of aberration.
Albert A. Michelson
-
In a gas, motion has the upper hand; the atoms are moving so fast that they have no time to enter into any sort of combination with each other: occasionally, atom must meet atom and, so to speak, each hold out vain hands to the other, but the pace is too great and, in a moment, they are far away from each other again.
William Henry Bragg
