Quotes About Collide

Being in my more senior years now, you hope somewhere along the track that you're going to get to collide with a role that feels very special, and Einstein is such a magnificent figure.
~ Geoffrey Rush
formal political life is a theater of nihilism: the political sphere is where nihilism is played out in raw form and also a site for overcoming or pushing back against nihilism through pursuit of worldly causes. In our time, both potentials are there, and routinely collide.
~ Wendy Brown
sacred history is like a hallowed tree whose roots dig deep into primordial time and whose branches weave in and out of genuine history with little concern for the boundaries of space and time. Indeed, it is precisely at those moments when sacred and genuine history collide that religions are born.
~ Reza Aslan
Somewhere around 2136, various lines of development had collided. What had once been servile Borderline Intelligences had jumped the tracks into genuine sentience. The luminously clever engines of Transgressive intelligence had been much too clever, much too willing to oblige. In an instant, humanity had found itself in possession of tools powerful enough to remake entire worlds, but equally capable of shattering them to dust.

Can we love nature for what it really is: predatory? We do not walk through a passive landscape. The paint dries eventually. We collide with place, which is another name for God, and limp away with a permanent injury. Ask for a blessing? You can try, but we will not remain unscathed.
~ Richard Siken
Du hast ja keine Ahnung, was du getan hast. Die beiden Welten auf diese Weise zusammenzubringen, könnte uns alle ins Unglück stürzen. Uns alle interessiert mich nicht, mir geht es nur um mich. Und glauben Sie mir, Captain, mir wird nicht das Geringste passieren.
~ Eoin Colfer
We just happened to be in the same moment at the same time and all the coincidences seemed to collide.
~ Dominic Riccitello
Pascal Bruckner writes, "Freedom does not release us from responsibilities but instead increases them. It does not lighten our burden but weighs us down further. It resolves problems less than it multiplies paradoxes. If this world sometimes seems brutal, that is because it is 'emancipated' and each individual's autonomy collides with that of others and is injured by them: never have people had to bear on their shoulders so many constraints.
~ Esther Perel
I see how in everything men are slaves to their unconscious temperament, to external circumstances, to impulses to be with people or to be alone that collide in and with that temperament as if it were nothing.
~ Fernando Pessoa
When I know what the character I'm supposed to play wants in general terms, and when I know what did the other characters want to do, that's when all these wills collide and the emotions show up.
~ Max von Sydow
Jennifer Doyle (2015, 33) observes that "the filing of a complaint often leads to the filing of more complaints—counter-complaints and complaints about the complaints process." The immanence of complaints—complaints are made in situations that complaints are about—could be well described as a crash site: to complain is to collide into other complaints. Another way of saying this: some complaints get uptake; others do not.
~ Sara Ahmed
Truth is generally kindness, but where the two diverge and collide, kindness should override truth.
~ Samuel Butler
It was what accidental deaths did to people, made everybody's sea floor irregular and uneven, causing tidal currents to collide, surge upward, thereby resulting in small yet volatile eddies churning at everybody's surface. (In the more dangerous cases, it created a lasting whirlpool in which the strongest swimmers could drown.)
~ Marisha Pessl

~ Anthony Fantano
I love fashion and I love interior design. There are times when the two worlds collide but more often than not, they go side by side in tandem.
~ Hilary Farr
The worlds of poverty and wealth collided, and I guess I felt a little dose of what the experts call culture shock. According to Mother Teresa, it is among the wealthy that we can find the most terrible poverty of all— loneliness. So perhaps I was still among the poorest of the poor, but these poor folks had some cash!
~ Shane Claiborne
Carbon may be a talented connector, but without a medium that allows it to collide randomly with other elements, those connective powers are likely to go to waste. All
~ Steven Johnson
There will be certain points of time when everything collides together and reaches critical mass around a new concept or a new thing that ends up being hugely relevant to a high percentage of people or businesses. But it's really really hard to predict those. I don't believe anyone can.
~ Marc Andreessen
The tangible and intangible collide to cast a spell. But can a person or thing ever be stripped naked? Can we ever discover reality hiding under the meanings we give to people and things? I don't think so. And I don't think Fitzgerald thought so either. His book meditates on the necessity of fiction, not only as lies but as truths.
~ Siri Hustvedt
The more we try to justify ourselves, the more we collide with our inability to do so. The more burdens we take on, the more we burden others with our unmet needs. Is it any wonder that our words do not help and our presence does not heal?
~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Observing gravitational waves would yield an enormous amount of information about the phenomena of strong-field gravity. If we could detect black holes collide, that would be amazing.
~ Rainer Weiss
I've always tried to do shows in a filmic way. I like it when forms smack up against each other.
~ George C. Wolfe
