David Douglas An ambassador is not simply an agent; he is also a spectacle. Walter Bagehot As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment. Valentino Rossi As long as my body holds out, I'll be grooving when I'm 70, and not some sort of horrible spectacle. Nick Lowe But I am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my soul; and I felt then that I should survive to exhibit what I shall soon cease to be - a miserable spectacle of wrecked humanity, pitiable to others and intolerable to myself. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley How is it that, once victory took form and the horrible spectacle of the extermination camps was revealed, we could have shamelessly broken the promises given to the peoples in those years of ordeal? Rene Cassin I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people. Estelle Parsons I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world. Sharon Stone I sort of became infatuated with soldiers. I got to know some of them and got a little perturbed with Hollywood making a spectacle out of them and making them look like they have screwed up somehow. Channing Tatum I want people to go to the movies. I am the man of the spectacle. I'm playing. Roman Polanski I was a WASP kid going to a high school that was 99 percent Jewish and I wanted attention and I wanted to make a spectacle of myself because I couldn't stand to be ignored. James Ellroy I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit. Harrison Ford I'd love to follow the Tour de France one day. It's a really exciting spectacle. I've only seen it once as it was coming into Paris and that was very exciting for me. I have memories of that. Bryan Ferry If your job is to leaven ordinary lives with elevating spectacle, be elevating or be gone. George Will It was a Sunday afternoon, wet and cheerless; and a duller spectacle this earth of ours has not to show than a rainy Sunday in London. Thomas de Quincey Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament. George Santayana Peace, plenty, and contentment reign throughout our borders, and our beloved country presents a sublime moral spectacle to the world. James K. Polk Politics as battle has given way to politics as spectacle. Ronald Steel St Michaels Mount is a favourite place of mine; people will walk across to the Mount all day and assume they will be able to walk home. The spectacle of hundreds of people realising that the path they walked over on is disappearing under several feet of water is very amusing. John Dyer Sunrise offered a very beautiful spectacle; the water was quite unruffled, but the motion communicated by the tides was so great that, although there was not a breath of air stirring, the sea heaved slowly with a grand and majestic motion. George Grey |
