Acting is easy and fun. You earn a lot of money, and you bang out with girls. The profession is given tremendous significance within our society, but it's not really worthy of it.
James Spader
Almost the only persons who may be said to comprehend even approximately the significance, principles, and purposes of Socialism are the chief leaders of the extreme wings of the Socialistic forces, and perhaps a few of the money kings themselves.
Benjamin Tucker

Bianca Jagger
An organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan.
Stokely Carmichael
And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.
Daniel Nathans
Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance.
Susan Sontag
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Michael Korda
As for September 11, let us not too easily grant the Americans possession of that date on the calendar. Like May 1 or July 14 or December 25, September 11 may seem full of significance to some people, while to other people it is just another day.
J. M. Coetzee

Lucian Freud
History is the interpretation of the significance that the past has for us.
Johan Huizinga
I believe every era has its significance and the same holds true for players and coaches.
Sachin Tendulkar

Dick Schaap
I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.
Pablo Casals
I learned, too, how it was possible with the help of the picture and action to transform an apparently insignificant violin passage into an incident, and to lift a simple horn call into a thing of stupendous significance by means of scenic emphasis.
Anton Seidl
I was a little lacking in vision as mayor - I failed to understand the significance that housing and the revitalization of housing means for a city.
