Beschäftigung / Preoccupation Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Beschäftigung / Preoccupation:

Growing up, I was not told that there were women's areas of preoccupation or male ones. Rachel Kushner

Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from.

Eric Hoffer

Maybe the preoccupation with technological progress has overshadowed our concern with human progress.

Wynton Marsalis

Sidney Lumet's chief preoccupation wasn't art. It was right and wrong in the American city, nearly always in New York.

Wesley Morris

At the point when continuity was interrupted by the first nuclear explosion, it would have been too easy to recover the formal sediment which linked us with an age of poetic decorum, of a preoccupation with poetic sounds.

Salvatore Quasimodo

Setting up a community and seeing what happens to it when the megalomaniacs get busy: that's my main preoccupation.

Louis de Bernieres

'The Luminaries' is such a different book to 'The Rehearsal.' There are only a couple of things that link the two books: there's a certain preoccupation with looking at relationships from the outside, being shut out of human intimacy; and then there's patterning.

Eleanor Catton

It had always been a British preoccupation to hold this mile record.

Roger Bannister

There's a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history.

Penelope Lively

War on terrorism defines the central preoccupation of the United States in the world today, and it does reflect in my view a rather narrow and extremist vision of foreign policy of the world's first superpower, of a great democracy, with genuinely idealistic traditions.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.

Robert Lanza

But because we live in an age of science, we have a preoccupation with corroborating our myths.

Michael Shermer

What is the thread of western civilization that distinguished its course in history? It has to do with the preoccupation of western man with his outward command and his sense of superiority.

Arthur Erickson

It was less a literary thing than a linguistic, philosophical preoccupation... discovering how far you can go with language to create immediate, elementary experience.

Robert Morgan

Growing up, I was not told that there were women's areas of preoccupation or male ones.

Rachel Kushner

All of us in Quebec - and I mean all of us - have allowed language to become a preoccupation that works to the disadvantage of all of us - and I mean all of us.

Richard Pound

I've discovered I've got this preoccupation with ordinary people pursued by large forces.

Steven Spielberg

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.

Bertrand Russell

That is my major preoccupation, memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.

Elie Wiesel

Much of today's public anxiety about science is the apprehension that we may forever be overlooking the whole by an endless, obsessive preoccupation with the parts.

Lewis Thomas

An abiding preoccupation for me is how much of our lives are invisible and unknown by other people, like the Chekhov story 'The Lady With the Little Dog.'

Claire Messud

A remarkable feature of the humanitarian movement, on both its sentimental and utilitarian sides, has been its preoccupation with the lot of the masses.

Irving Babbitt

Preoccupation with money is the great test of small natures, but only a small test of great ones.

Nicolas Chamfort

Unlike economics, whose sole preoccupation in our finance-obsessed era is the near-term profit motive, history offers a way to place our tiny lifespans in a narrative that spans dozens of generations - perhaps even reaching into a future where capitalism is no longer our dominant form of economic organization.

Annalee Newitz

Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.

James D. Watson

Madonna is that forbidden thing, the Nietzschean creative woman. Her preoccupation with a high level of work doesn't allow her to follow the usual script that powerful women are expected to follow - 'don't hate me for my success, don't hate me for my power.'

Naomi Wolf

When the soul is understood and attended to, we can be liberated from hurry, preoccupation, unsatisfied desires, and chronic discontent.

John Ortberg

The American preoccupation with the law, which is certainly not past, was at its zenith in 1995. The 1980s, the late 1980s, had sort of begun to percolate up to public consciousness this enormous interest in the law.
