Barometer, n.: An ingenious instrument which indicates what kind of weather we are having.
Ambrose Bierce I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television. Tom Petty I think what makes us human - is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human. Thomas Jane Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. Ayn Rand Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever. Steven Tyler Sudden resolutions, like the sudden rise of mercury in a barometer, indicate little else than the variability of the weather. David Hare The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress. Hendrik Willem Van Loon The poet may be used as a barometer, but let us not forget that he is also part of the weather. Lionel Trilling Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and often what makes a good director is knowing when not to say something. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director's hat is only trying to justify his position. Gary Oldman |
