Collective Quotes

Just because we're on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, 'You're inconsiderate.' And I said, "Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.' It's a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.
Debra Winger

Time, Bad, Someone

Terry Eagleton

Life, Same, Between

In the past goodness was always a collective experience. Then goodness became privatised.
Edward Bond

Between, Everyone, Played

When Whitney Houston died, I felt great sadness. My sadness, of course, was about our collective loss - when you listened to this nightingale sing, your body would drop into a chair, your head would tilt up, a small smile would creep across your face, and inside you knew that there was a higher power somewhere: gifted, beautiful, spiritual.
James Belushi

Great, Power, Smile

Joshua Foer

Knowledge, Car, Remember
