10 QUOTES WITH «SUBJECTIVE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word subjective.
1
Berenice Abbott
Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.
2
Jack Henry Abbott
When they talk of ghosts of the dead who wander in the night with things still undone in life, they approximate my subjective experience of this life.
3
Tina Ambani
The most delightful aspect about the language of cinema is that it speaks to each of us in different ways - it is a purely subjective experience.
4
Daniel Barenboim
Sound is often talked about in a very subjective way, as if it had a colour. This is a bright sound, this is a dark sound. I don't believe in that because I think that is much too subjective.
5
Gary Bauer
'Fairness' can be an important quality for legislators to consider when they are passing public policies. But it is a subjective standard. And it has no place among judges on a court - whose duty is to dispassionately judge a law's constitutionality.
6
John Boyne
What makes a classic is difficult to define. It's entirely subjective, of course. And the term is employed far too promiscuously.
7
John Carmack
At its best, entertainment is going to be a subjective thing that can't win for everyone, while at worst, a particular game just becomes a random symbol for petty tribal behavior.
8
Bertie Carvel
It's an odd experience reading interviews with yourself. Interesting, though. Of course, you know that the journalist will have edited, rephrased or even rewritten what you actually said, but you can't help feeling that there's a special kind of truth in the way someone else paints you, however subjective they might be.
9
Stephen Chbosky
Movies, by nature, are not subjective, they're objective.
10
Anna Julia Cooper
The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.
