10 QUOTES WITH «TO A DEGREE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word to a degree.
1
Felix Adler
In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.
2
Eric Alterman
Americans have always evinced some distrust of government, but the current situation has exacerbated this to a degree that may be unprecedented.
3
Elizabeth Bowen
Nothing can happen nowhere. The locale of the happening always colours the happening, and often, to a degree, shapes it.
4
Herb Brooks
Everything goes in cycles, to a degree.
5

6
Andrea Corr

7
George Crumb

8
Bruno Heller

9
Carl Hiaasen
I think in the old days, the nexus of weirdness ran through Southern California, and to a degree New York City. I think it's changed so that every bizarre story in the country now has a Florida connection. I don't know why, except it must be some inversion of magnetic poles or something.
10
Steven Holl
For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can't in larger projects.
