Reaction Quotations

I couldn't hope to be in anything better than 'Misfits.' The reaction from fans has been mental. The weirdest thing is when people tell me I'm their inspiration. I can't believe I get fan mail, and loads of free clothes. Adidas sent me lots of stuff; it's wicked!

Actual Victorian mores and politics were a reaction to a specific series of historical events, technological and scientific developments, and ethical trends in which the commodification of people was de rigueur.

Unlike their Western counterparts, Africans take elections very seriously - rising up early to queue patiently in line for hours under the hot sun and cast their ballots. Any misguided attempt to nullify or steal their votes will evoke a strong reaction from them.

Kids have a weird honesty, especially in their reaction to things where a lot of older people who have matured have lost that.

By action and reaction do we become strong or weak, according to the character of our thoughts and mental states. Fear is the deadly nightshade of the mind.

While no Muslim worthy of his name would lose his respect for God, the Prophet Muhammad, and other symbols of Islam, he might well refrain from using legal prosecution or violent reaction to those who do not show the same respect. My basis for this claim is nothing other than the holiest source of Islam, the Quran.

To begin with, you must realize that any idea accepted by the brain is automatically transformed into an action of some sort. It may take seconds or minutes or longer - but ideas always produce a reaction of some sort.

The creation is a very internal process, and publishing the book is a very external process. It is nice to see the book out in the world and people having the same reaction as when I created it. The point of all art is the emotional transference, and when that happens, the book has succeeded.

In the early 1990s we witnessed the emergence of a revitalized contemporary Chinese art world that began as a reaction against the government-approved Social Realist style. Zhang Xiaogang, Huang Yong Ping, Ai WeiWei, Yue Minjun, and Wang Guangyi were among the first group of artists to establish a movement that became known as Cynical Realism.

I love theatre because that is my foundation. So, if I had to make a choice in terms of where I get the most fulfillments, it would be theatre. The reaction is so immediate, unlike with TV and film.

I've always been a believer in research. It's great to have an instinctual human reaction to a character, too, of course, but it has to be countered with knowledge and understanding.

Now in its third year in office, the Obama Administration has never championed the cause of human rights. Its slow reaction in June 2009 to the stealing of the election in Iran and the birth of the 'Green Movement' there, and its delay in backing the rebellions in Egypt, Libya, and Syria, are evidence of this problem.

I remember I was a little girl when Elizabeth Taylor stole Eddie Fisher from America's Sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, and the reaction back then was enormous! And Angelina Jolie was in trouble, too, for taking a husband away from another America's Sweetheart. Don't take husbands from America's Sweethearts.

Facebook is studying emotional reaction to things and bringing you fewer of things you don't engage with and more of what you do.

Well, thing is, after they cancelled 'Zen', I didn't work for eight months. And in that case, it was not my choice. After I've done something that I'm really proud of and I think changes the way I'm perceived, the immediate reaction is: nothing.

I have to believe that most people know that 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You' is my song. But the reaction we get from the audience at 'Jersey Boys' is that they didn't remember how many hits we had. A lot of 'Oh yeah, I forgot they did that song.' We had 20 Top 10 hits in the U.S... people forget.

For me and my entire generation, we took on this kind of sarcastic, ironic, snarkiness because it seemed the most extreme reaction to the earnestness of hippies.

My favorite food was seafood, and that's all I used to eat. And then there I was, 27 years old, and bam, I have this allergic reaction - and it's life-threatening. So it's very important to spread the word and spread awareness so people can be better prepared in case anaphylaxis occurs in their life.

The levels of poverty in 1933's rural America were unimaginable to us now. The 1933 Farm Bill, which introduced unprecedented government control over agriculture, was a reaction to the specific problems facing producers at that time.

Some people come out going, I don't get it. And I don't quite know what they're trying to get, what they're struggling for. We have had the reaction where people leave the movie sort of uncomfortable and befuddled. Although that wasn't our intention.

I get a much more extreme reaction when I have my hair really short. I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter. It's a much more extreme reaction.

All too frequently, the knee jerk reaction to tragedies by the media and chattering class is to move to restrict our rights... Our founding documents make it clear that our inalienable rights come from God and that the job of the government is to ensure and protect those God-given rights.

We started very slow in America. It was small acoustic shows. We played places like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago and everywhere there has been a great reaction. It has been really lovely. They listen to the lyrics and the melody over there and the reaction has been fantastic.

The first 'Bad Company' was a kind of reaction to the Vietnam war - or at least a reaction to how Vietnam had entered the cultural life through films and books.

The thing about games is, players often say they don't care about story, but then if you took the story out, what would their reaction be? If no one cared about story, we'd all still be playing Pac-Man. There's nothing wrong with Pac-Man, but the point is, there's a genre of games in which you want to become part of that world.

It wasn't conscious, but I guess that one book is the reaction to the other. The first is so imprisoned in a male point-of-view, and the second is a point-of-view that can go anywhere it wants.

Any time skating was featured in a video game, I ate it up. So around 1997-98, I was shopping this video game idea. I was weighing my options when I went to Activision, but when I saw what they were working on, I said, 'This is exactly what I'd love to be involved with,' and following that gut reaction was hugely successful.

I wanted to have a reaction from the audience. I wanted to be able to talk to somebody, and not be talking just to myself. That's when I did 'The Conformist,' 'Last Tango in Paris,' etc. And I found it was incredibly rewarding, something new.

When I was born, I was effectively dead. Weird, I know. The doctors couldn't get any reaction from me, so I had to be brought round, and although it seemed like I was okay, there were underlying problems.

I don't take reviews very seriously, but in their totality I think they are representative of how the audience feels, and of what their reaction is. There's always one guy who doesn't get it.

I'm not religious, but by nature I am spiritual. I'm an artist, and creativity seems to go hand in hand with spirituality. But I have a knee-jerk reaction against organized religions. Actually, I have knee-jerk reactions against anything that's organized.

I've had so much positive reaction and emotional fulfillment from the creation of my art and sharing it with everyday people that I never paid too much attention to the opinion of critics.

If the United States commits to the goal of reaching Mars, it will almost certainly do so in reaction to the progress of other nations - as was the case with NASA, the Apollo program, and the project that became the International Space Station.

I do have moments when I feel insecure. I do have moments when I feel jealous, and that's normal. It's a very normal emotion. It's your action and your attitude and your reaction to that that is important.

Is it or is it not ethical to create an embryo, and to create a person for the purpose of getting an organ to give to someone else? Your knee-jerk reaction is 'absolutely not;' but you need the ethical analysis of that to show why and how that is something that you need to stay away from.

I'm obsessed with sparkle for men. It's so funny watching people's reaction to a disco-ball shoe!

I have my own difficulty with movies in which the suffering of the characters is too real, and many find it difficult to watch comedies that rely too heavily on embarrassment; the vicarious reaction to this is too unpleasant.

Whether it's a double take or a spit take or an extra-long pause before a reaction or a line, I try to be as cognizant as possible about the technical end of it. So I think the physical stuff works easier for me than maybe for others who are more just going on instinct.

When I read 'The Water Diviner,' I was having the same kind of visceral reaction that I would normally have acting in something. I believed that I was the only person that could tell this story the way it needed to be told. That's the real arrogance of a director!

It is clear from the reaction to our campaign so far that our message is resonating. I look forward to continuing to take this message to all Americans, and showing them that I can be as successful running the country as I was running the state of New Mexico.

Personal readings in order to be able to experience the reaction of the readers, even if it is only a short contact.

I would call the dollar's reaction a little muted. This data is generally volatile anyway, which prevents too much market reaction.

We had been playing with three players in the back and loading the midfield, but this year, with the talent we have, we can play with four in the back and it works out to basically give us an extra forward because the defense shifts in reaction to the overload,

My gut reaction is that we're at a transformational stage. We're at a point as a business where so much has changed around us, and we really haven't changed with it. If we think we can cut our way to prosperity, we're kidding ourselves.

Should this or a transaction like this go through, the initial reaction is going to be very favorable, similar to the Legg Mason-Citigroup transaction. The proof in the pudding won't really be seen for a good three years. Then people can look back and say 'Wow, super smart deal,' or 'not so smart.

Oh, yeah. The people are so wonderful and friendly. I have never been to Mississippi so it was a treat to come here for a program like this. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the reaction of the people no matter what I was singing. They had it together and were with me. This is so wonderful.

Only a tiny handful of slaves responded to the Confederate proposal. They viewed it as an act of desperation and were skeptical of the sincerity of promises of emancipation. The reaction of the slaves generally was 'Why would we fight for the Confederacy; it's not our country? They were very well informed through the grapevine.

One month ago, people were on the fence. A month later, people are off the fence and forming hard opinions. A month ago, people were waiting to see what the governor would do. Now they've seen some of it and their initial reaction is negative.

One of our weaknesses is the way we take and adapt to criticism. Our reaction has not been positive. We need to be a public and visible organization and an active organization within the community.

More negatives write than call. It's a cheap shot for me to go on the air with the critical letters or E-mail I get because the reaction of the listeners is always an instantaneous expression of sympathy for me and contempt for the poor critic.

None of this was a reaction to the situation with the University of Mississippi. Our meeting with him as the result of it being the end of the season.

No doubt it (the car bomb), like the murder of Billy Wright in the Maze prison, is intended to destabilize the situation by provoking a reaction ... I hope people will not allow themselves, as they have been, to be provoked into reacting.

Neil has apologised and we know that his reaction was wrong.

Obviously, my reaction to that is it's sad.

Obviously, my reaction to that is it's sad because, as I said the last few times people have brought up the subject, my hope would be that he would have an opportunity to go over to NFL Europe and make a comeback. I hope it's not true, but beyond that I don't know much.

People were expecting builds across the board. On that basis the market reaction that we have had is not surprising...It looks like product strength has the potential to return.

People were expecting the worst and I think the reaction you saw is that it wasn't as Draconian as many had feared. There wasn't any real hard table pounding or anything in the minutes that pointed to a 50-basic point hike at the next meeting.

Obviously there are certain things he's not going to be happy about and a certain way that he's going to react. But he understands now that the reaction has to be positive and it can't be at the job.

My first personal reaction is that it's maybe not surprising since Mars gets beaten up a lot by impacts.

My first reaction is a simple one: It could have been a lot worst. ... The president has not sent us a nominee that we've rejected already.

My first reaction is it could have been a lot worse than it was.

My first reaction is not if I live to a thousand years. But who knows?

My first reaction is that it's Freddy, out of a lack of experience, expressing frustration over something that he probably needs to have a little bit broader perspective on, ... Unfortunately, it gets turned into a huge deal because it's Freddy.

My first reaction is that the headline looks bad but the underlying numbers look better than we expected,

My first reaction is that the students weren't a part of this process. It is very alarming that we were not involved. But we look forward to working with a permanent president and seeing how they deal with the separate constituencies on campus.

My first reaction is that this type of accident can happen to anyone, even a seasoned hunter.

My first reaction on being awarded the Nobel Prize was, actually, I thought of Fischer Black, my colleague. He unfortunately had passed away. And there was no doubt in my mind that if he were still alive, he would have been a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize.

My first reaction to the doctor was I'm going to throw up. I couldn't even stomach it.

My first reaction to the sign was: this is somebody who doesn't like you. He's trying to smash you down and hurt you.

My first reaction was that I thought it was off the wall. Then I turned around and saw (the umpire) say, 'Stop,' (to Wilson), and I thought it meant a home run.

My general reaction to anything new being put on that parcel next to us is it's going to be an improvement.

My friend Charlie McCarthy is, of course, much more of a celebrity than he was 13 years ago... They wanted to see McCarthy: striped pants, monocle, derby and Bergen's bald head. If that had happened in radio, the reaction would have been slow, diffused and debatable. I wouldn't learn anything from an audience sitting in a broadcasting studio in Hollywood, because those people all are in my business.

I have been surprised at the amount of commentary and reaction to it. I really have, because to me, that was just a little peck.

I don't consider it a big deal. My typical reaction is, we get it and turn it over to the legal process, and I really don't have any comment.

I don't consider that him . That was a reaction to the disease.

I don't get much sympathy because Andy's such a loveable character. Anything Robert does seems to provoke a negative reaction from people on the street. I think one or two people feel a bit sorry for him now and again but it doesn't last very long.

If they want to avoid legislation, they'll want to do something. Hopefully, this will start a chain reaction and other companies will follow suit. Otherwise, they face the real risk of Congress mandating a solution, and nobody wants that,

Lee's shown no adverse reaction after two days' training. But, although Jackie Mac's had three and a bit reserve games, when someone's been out as long as he has, you can run the risk of bringing them back a little bit too quick. We're going to have to wait a little longer.

Losing a family member is extremely difficult for anyone to take. But the normal reaction is to want to get back to your work as soon as you can.

There are true risks when ... enough peanut protein is really being disturbed. So if people are cracking open peanuts, especially in a confined space, a waiting area of a restaurant, you could have a very severe reaction because there's enough peanut airborne there.

Lower withdrawals than most estimates -- at 20 billion cubic feet -- are bearish for gas, but the concern about the Nigerian supply of crude and the reaction to the Iranian situation could result in crude giving gas some support.
