10 QUOTES WITH «FLUIDITY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word fluidity.
1
Mary Catherine Bateson
Fluidity and discontinuity are central to the reality in which we live.
2
Lizzy Caplan
There's definitely a luxury to the fluidity of not being a mega-star. I've done a ton of really, really odd, off-the-wall movies. There's this movie I did called 'Queens of Country' a couple of summers ago that is so bananas, and if I was at a certain level, I probably would not have done that movie.
3
Rose George
Most modern Indians don't stick to their caste jobs any more. There is more inter-caste marriage, more fluidity, more freedom than ever before. But the outcastes are usually still outcastes, because they are still the ones who tan India's animals, burn its dead, and remove its excrement.
4
Adrian Grenier
I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream. They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.
5
Caroline Knapp
The kinds of roles dogs fill can be hard to come by in human relationships. We touch the dog or the pet at whim. There is a lack of self-consciousness and a fluidity to it that is absent from most human relationships. If someone acted that way to you, you'd feel claustrophobic pretty quickly. It's a boundary violation.
6
Neil Peart
It's interesting. I've known quite a few good athletes that can't begin to play a beat on the drum set. Most team sport is about the smooth fluidity of hand-eye coordination and physical grace, where drumming is much more about splitting all those things up.
7
Oliver Platt
The directors that I end up having a really good time with are the ones that understand the fluidity of the medium and are interested in catching lightning in a bottle.
8
Ben Schott
I have always loved the fluidity of language - delighting in dialects, dictionaries, slang and neologisms.
9
Josh Schwartz
It's my experience that the fluidity of sexuality with younger people is more accepted.
10
Adam Yauch
I love the flow of the game. There's a certain fluidity to basketball. I don't enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way.
