Theme Quotations
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
Stanley Kubrick
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I'm going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.
Newt Gingrich
We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.
Mary Kay Ash
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Woodrow Wilson
To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.
Herman Melville
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
If a theme or idea is too near the surface, the novel becomes simply a tract illustrating an idea.
Elizabeth Bowen
I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.
John Lasseter
We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
