10 QUOTES WITH «GENESIS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word genesis.
1
Margaret Atwood
The genesis of a poem for me is usually a cluster of words. The only good metaphor I can think of is a scientific one: dipping a thread into a supersaturated solution to induce crystal formation. I don't think I solve problems in my poetry; I think I uncover the problems.
2
Gregory Bateson
There is a strong tendency in explanatory prose to invoke quantities of tension, energy, and whatnot to explain the genesis of pattern. I believe that all such explanations are inappropriate or wrong.
3
Evan Bayh
Of course, the genesis of a good portion of the gridlock in Congress does not reside in Congress itself. Ultimate reform will require each of us, as voters and Americans, to take a long look in the mirror, because in many ways, our representatives in Washington reflect the people who have sent them there.
4
Athol Fugard
The things that converge in the writing of a play come from a complex of motives, a genesis shrouded in a certain kind of mystery.
5
Charles Guggenheim
Then I found books that were written much later, as late as 15 years ago. It was very superficial material, but enough to tell me that the genesis of this story was worth exploring.
6
Mike Lookinland
And we do talk a lot about my past and my impression of things and how it relates to what we're doing now. The Brady Bunch, in its heyday, was really the genesis of when TV started to become the force that it is today.
7
Eskinder Nega
All the great crimes of history, lest we forget, have their genesis in the moral wilderness of their times.
8
Chris O'Dowd
Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.
9
Phil Robertson
Genesis 9 is where the animals went wild, and God gave them wildness. After the flood, that's when he made animals wild. Up until that time, everybody was vegetarian.
10
Dwight Schultz
Being closer to the genesis of this whole period, it captured the importance of the concept of making contact and accurately depicted the paranoia of the time. It's an excellent film.
