Profoundly Quotations

Is the human born with an innate longing for chocolate? Does the notion of chocolate preclude the concept of free will?

Writing, followed eventually by printing, vastly increased the preservation and transmission of cultural information across time and space.

The problem with holistic management is it's so profoundly simple, but it's not easy. And it's profoundly simple.

The Portuguese and Galician term 'saudade' suggests a profoundly bittersweet nostalgia.

It's a pity that if someone who has a really profoundly potent art to share chooses not to or doesn't fit into this very thin slice of what's desirable and marketable, chances are the public will never get a chance to hear what they're doing.

You start noticing that people are noticing how you look, and it is a profoundly alienating experience when it first happens, where you go on TV and you say something about some topic of the day, and on the Internet people are like, 'What was up with that shirt?' 'What was up with your hair?' And you think, 'Oh, that's kind of a bummer.'

The rise of Twitter defined 2011. Once every 5-7 years, a company emerges that changes not just the technology industry, but the world... after what some viewed as a rocky start, in 2011 Twitter broke through into the elite group of companies that profoundly shape our world.

We are a profoundly interconnected species, as the global economic and ecological crises reveal in vivid and frightening detail. We must embrace the simple fact that we are dependent on and accountable to one another.

I'm the guy that has written at great length about exactly how we should profoundly reform Social Security. If I were afraid of going after entitlements, I wouldn't have done that, I wouldn't have put Medicaid reform in this budget, I wouldn't have called for the reductions in spending, which people will scream about, but I think are necessary.

I was profoundly moved to be the first United Nations Secretary-General to attend the Peace Memorial Ceremony in Hiroshima. I also visited Nagasaki. Sadly, we know the terrible humanitarian consequences from the use of even one weapon. As long as such weapons exist, so, too, will the risks of use and proliferation.

In the new woman, the feeling of life will be enhanced; her experience will be more profound. Her soul life, her demands for beauty, her senses will be more developed and refined.

I wish to f--- that we were putting it out sooner, ... I'm so excited about it and I'm so ready for it to be part of the public consciousness. It's a lot different to ' By The Way '. There are some profoundly funky songs and then there are songs that are new for us and don't sound like anything.

It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality.

When a murder is satisfied, it isn't the beginning of the story; it's the middle. We shouldn't forget that fact because murder has ripples. You never go back to being the same. The people that investigate these crimes never go back to being the same as they were before they started the investigation. The people's whose lives have been affected, the victim's families, even the murderer themselves are profoundly changed. That's why murder is still the most interesting crime for us to write about, because it is the only crime where something unique is taken away from the world, something that can't be replaced.

There is a very big difference in where the two parties will take America, ... I sometimes get distressed by our friends in the media because they try to reduce everything to gossip, scandal-mongering and cynicism that I think is profoundly false for this country's future.

As the film's hidden, sympathetic hero who proves to be victimized by businessmen pillaging the Third World for their own gain, who is eventually victimized by a bunch of bullies and out-classed by so-called 'civilization,' King Kong has held on with Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolf-Man. But some people will end up profoundly unhappy and some will just shrug their shoulders and say, 'Well, that was an interesting three hours.

When we try and take shortcuts that's when we get outscored. I'd be profoundly disappointed if we (took shortcuts) again. I can't foresee that happening.

Victoria didn't tell a soul about our love affair, nor did I. We spent time at each other's homes, sneaking in and out like criminals, although we were so profoundly happy it was ridiculous.

We spent an enormous amount of time as hominids and as primates living as hunter-gatherers. That is the natural way for us to live, and we're suddenly living in this profoundly unnatural way, and we're still in the process of adapting to it and working out how to live with it.

As I walked the beaches with the American veterans who had returned for this anniversary, men in their sixties and seventies, and listened to their stories, I was deeply moved and profoundly grateful for all they had done,

As life forms, viruses are just inherently interesting. It's the microworld - this universe of life too small for us to see - but it's profoundly complicated, and immensely powerful.
