Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.
Bryant H. McGill
I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.
Matthew Barney
I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks. And it was way to literal for me.
Mitch Hedberg
I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.
John Searle
If it's just screaming - and I know this sounds so ridiculous - that gets old. But sometimes when there's literal chaos, it's like being in a war zone, and that's kind of exciting. You're just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what's going on.
Robert Pattinson
It was the point where things became much more abstract and less literal than in the bulk of the film, which was hardcore rockets and space and planets - all a fairly straightforward evolution from what I had been doing before.
Douglas Trumbull
Language operates between literal and metaphorical signification.
Robert Smithson
Most times when people pitch you as being perfect for a part... they don't look at you as an actor who can transform. A lot of people are so literal.
Catherine Keener
Nelson Mandela is, for me, the single statesman in the world. The single statesman, in that literal sense, who is not solving all his problems with guns. It's truly unbelievable.
Toni Morrison
Not only is the self entwined in society; it owes society its existence in the most literal sense.
Theodor Adorno
One of the reasons I love to jump back and forth between mediums is that film does allow me to be more literal. I can go to the real place. I can go to the Coliseum, and I don't have to fake it.
Julie Taymor
Part of the advantage, and part of the result of trying to be a producer and director, are the practical things, you find. It's so advantageous to go to a place that you already have a feel for, a literal and spiritual familiarity.
Campbell Scott
That sense of a life in natural objects, which in most poetry is but a rhetorical artifice, was, then, in Wordsworth the assertion of what was for him almost literal fact.
Walter Pater
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
Karl Marx
The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The stage is suspension of disbelief. Film is a literal medium.
Joseph Bologna
This was nostalgia in the literal Greek sense: the pain of not being able to return to one's home and family.
John Thorn
Transportation made sublimation literal. It conveyed evil to another world.
Robert Hughes
Watch the History Channel if you want it literal and historically perfect.
Emily Blunt
When a middle-aged man says in a moment of weariness that he is half dead, he is telling the literal truth.
