The key is to work with people who are passionate about storytelling and who have a similar sensibility of the type and nature of the stories that you want to tell.
— Patrick Lussier
We have to stop this violence. We have to make the political nature of the violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it's a public and political problem. It's a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places.
— Patricia Ireland
Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence. When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded Consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind.
— Patanjali
I have found human nature a bit contradictory in my living of it. Human life is incredibly strange.
— Pat Conroy
The physical ego serves as its own worst enemy when, by delusive material behavior, it eclipses its true nature as the ever blessed soul.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
Yoga is a method for restraining the natural turbulence of thoughts, which otherwise impartially prevent all men, of all lands, from glimpsing their true nature of Spirit. Yoga cannot know a barrier of East and West any more than does the healing and equitable light of the sun.
If we want to make a statement about a man's nature on the basis of his physiognomy, we must take everything into account; it is in his distress that a man is tested, for then his nature is revealed.
— Paracelsus
By nature I'm sort of an introvert.
— Paolo Bacigalupi
I'm more of somebody who'll bend over backwards for people and, you know, wait at the back of the line until everybody's taken care of. That's really my nature.
— Pamela Adlon
I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees.
— Pablo Neruda
Art Nouveau got its inspiration from nature. The Bauhaus got its inspiration from engineering.
— P. J. O'Rourke
It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.
— P. D. James
As soon as we can wrest from Nature the secret of the internal structure of the compounds produced by her, chemical science can then even surpass Nature by producing compounds as variations of the natural ones, which the living cell is unable to construct.
— Otto Wallach
I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.
— Oscar Robertson
The kingdom of God is a theocracy. And as it is the only form of government which will redeem and save mankind, it is necessary that every soul should be rightly and thoroughly instructed in regard to its nature and general characteristics.
— Orson Pratt
Without this tremendous passion for power, influence, and advantage which money gives, how could nature develop the highest type of man? Without this infinite longing, whence would come the discipline which industry, perseverance, tact, sagacity, and frugality give?
— Orison Swett Marden
The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.
Your focus should be on creating an environment where growth can occur and then letting nature take its course.
— Patrick Lencioni
For neither life nor nature cares if justice is ever done or not.
— Patricia Highsmith
God created the world; the laws of nature were created by God. True science tries to find out what God put in the world. The trouble is where scientists speculate about theology and they don't know what they're talking about because they weren't there. They can't speculate about the origins of life because they weren't there.
— Pat Robertson
I can find God in nature, in animals, in birds and the environment.
— Pat Buckley
The physical ego, the active consciousness in man, should uplift its body-identified self into unity with the soul, its true nature; it should not allow itself to remain mired in the lowly delusive strata of the senses and material entanglement.
Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.
The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
Politicians aren't special. They lie the same way we all do, revealing their true nature under pressure.
— Pamela Meyer
For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.
— Pam Brown
Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain.
— P. T. Barnum
Jeans fit the mature male one of two ways, both dirigible in nature. You make a public impression that's either Hindenburg or Goodyear blimp.
The nature of an ensemble means when you're a supporting character and not the lead character, you get little tidbits here and there, but you're usually there to provide bits of comic relief and little bits of action or something.
— Owain Yeoman
In nerve-free multicellular organisms, the relationships of the cells to each other can only be of a chemical nature. In multicellular organisms with nerve systems, the nerve cells only represent cells like any others, but they have extensions suited to the purpose which they serve, namely the nerves.
— Otto Loewi
Anything that's made by humans is about humans, whether it's about gods or aliens or anything; it's about some sort of expressive nature about us.
— Oscar Isaac
No matter how badly senators want to know things, judicial nominees are limited in what they may discuss. That limitation is real, and it comes from the very nature of what judges do.
— Orrin Hatch
You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused, and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.
I must admit that I am not generous with weak people. It's not in my nature or in my personality. My parents were not generous with weak people, see?
— Oriana Fallaci
We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
— Patrick Henry
Is letting our children watch TV a form of child abuse? If our children grow up knowing everything about Britney Spears and nothing about nature or faith, about anything, is that not a form of child abuse?
— Patch Adams
I mean, if a person acts irresponsibly in his own life, he will pay the consequences. And it's not so much divine retribution as it's built into the law of nature.
The culture is eating nature; it's overpowering storytelling. Movies are turning into games - it's abut the image, not nuance.
— Parker Posey
The Western day is indeed nearing when the inner science of self-control will be found as necessary as the outer conquest of nature. This new Atomic Age will see men's minds sobered and broadened by the now scientifically indisputable truth that matter is in reality a concentrate of energy.
Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.
A wise human would have an understanding of the supply chain and how the pieces fit together. But it's against our nature to think about it.
The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire.
— Pamela Hansford Johnson
My fascination is not for cinema; it's for human nature and human beings because I find it quite difficult being one at times.
— Paddy Considine
Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation.
We need a government, alas, because of the nature of humans.
Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.
— Ovid
No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
— Oscar Wilde
Race hate isn't human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature.
— Orson Welles
Sweeter than the perfume of roses is a reputation for a kind, charitable, unselfish nature; a ready disposition to do to others any good turn in your power.
Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.
