“Part of the difficulty in trying to be both an artist and a businessperson is this: You make a picture because you have seen something beyond price; then you are to turn and assign to your record of it a cash value. If the selling is not necessarily a contradiction of the truth in the picture, it is so close to being a contradiction—and the truth is always in shades of gray-that you are worn down by the threat.” IfsTryingArtistValuesTurnsRecordsTruth IsDifficultyThreatPhotographerSellingContradictionGrayShadeCashWornShades Of Gray Book:Why People Photograph: Selected Essays and Reviews Source: Why People Photograph: Selected Essays and Reviews
“Europe has been at peace since 1945. But it is a restless peace thats shadowed by the threat of violence. Europe is partitioned. An unnatural line runs through the heart of a very great and a very proud nation [Germany]. History warns us that until this harsh division has been resolved, peace in Europe will never be secure. We must turn to one of the great unfinished tasks of our generationand that unfinished task is making Europe whole again.” HeartHas BeensWholeRunningTurnsNationsPeaceLinesViolenceProudEuropeTasksThreatSecureGermanyDivisionHarshRestlessUnnaturalUnfinished Author:Lyndon B.

“We must now turn from considering the necessary struggle with language arising, as it were, from its very nature and the nature of the society it serves to the more ominous threat to its integrity brought about neither by its innate inadequacy nor yet by the incompetence and carelessness of its ordinary users, but rather engineered deliberately by those who will manipulate words for their own ends.” EndsTurnsLanguageStruggleIntegrityOrdinaryThreatUsersConsideringManipulateInnateIncompetenceInadequacyCarelessnessOminous Book:Hopes and impediments: selected essays Source: Hopes and impediments: selected essays
“When external and internal forces hostile to the development of socialism try to turn the development of a given socialist country in the direction of the restoration of the capitalist system, when a threat arises to the cause of socialism in that country ... this is no longer merely a problem for that country's people, but a common problem, the concern of all socialist countries.” PeopleTryingCountryProblemTurnsGivenForceCausesCommonDevelopmentConcernThreatAriseSocialismInternalsCapitalistSocialistHostileRestorationSocialist Countries Author:Leonid Brezhnev
“The zombie threat is made worse by the fact that their victims then turn into the creature that attacked them. This too is similar to other monsters (werewolves and vampires) and also similar to the sub-genre of infection/plague films. In the case of zombies, however, this may carry a greater sense of dread and revulsion: vampires and werewolves can be seen as desirable, potent, intelligent, virile creatures whom one might like -- in some way at least -- to become; a mindless ghoul condemned to wander aimlessly across an empty, ruined earth seems much less attractive.” WayMayMadeFactsSeemsMightEarthFilmTurnsCasesGreaterCreaturesEmptyIntelligentVictimThreatMonstersWanderVampireGenreAttractiveDreadRuinedDesirableZombiePlagueWerewolfInfectionMindlessGhoulsRevulsion Author:Kim Paffenroth

“We made this inexplicable turn into Iraq, where we've lost lives, money, honour and the coalition on [George] Bush's watch. Surely he's not suggesting that if the Democrats win, things can get worse. I mean, all we can do now is to look at our field policy and change the course. We need more diplomatic outreach toward Iran, Syria and Middle Eastern allies, and less bluster and less threats, and fewer troops.” IfsNeedsLooksMeanMadeTurnsCoursesWinningLostCan DoWatchesMiddlePolicyFieldsThreatDemocratIraqIranHonourAlliesFewerTroopsSyriaEasternCoalitionsSuggestingDiplomaticInexplicableOutreachBluster Author:Jesse Jackson
