Serious Subjects Quotes

• I wanted to catch the problem of consumption, waste, poor people eating what we throw away, which is a big subject. But I didn't want to become a sociologue, an ethnographe, a serious thinker. I thought I should be free, even in a documentary which has a very serious subject.

• I do think that this represents a kind of shift towards myth, a recovery of myth, largely through the popularity of writers like Philip Pullman. Somehow myths have returned as a serious subject. It used to be scorned...really scorned. It was part of a nursery tradition, and it was also rather tainted - but not in an immovable way - by the association with right-wing ideologies after the World Wars.

• La política es el único tema serio en el que los hombres se creen capacitados para actuar sin ningún tipo de educación o instrucción previa. Si se tratara de astronomía, botánica, medicina o derecho, nunca se le permitiría trabajar en ninguna de estas artes, o tomar una parte decisiva en la historia de cualquiera de estas ciencias sin haber adquirido, al menos, el A B C de la misma; pero el terrible hecho de la política es que no nos tomamos la molestia de entender seriamente la situación política.

• If my work is pornography, so what? I don't have any moral compunction about pornography. Any feelings I have about it are purely stylistic... I don't see why it should be excluded as a serious subject.

• Real writers - serious writers with serious subjects, who earn their living at it - all seem to write in small rooms with that knotty-pine 1974 look on the top-floor rear of their houses. Rooms with views.

• Unidentified flying objects are a very serious subject which we must study fully. We appeal to all viewers to send us details of strange flying craft seen over territories of the Soviet Union. This is a serious challenge to science and we need the help of all Soviet citizens.

• The funny thing is that the process of coming up with an idea for a column or a 'Candid Camera' sequence is essentially the same thing. I just live my life with eyes and ears perhaps a little bit wider open than some people. Whatever bothers me or seems off kilter or in need of parody-or on a serious subject, in need of examination-in the past I had done a sequence about it. Now I write a column about it.

• Para un naturalista nada es indiferente; el humilde musgo que se arrastra sobre la piedra es tan interesante como el elevado pino que tan bellamente adorna el valle o la montaña: pero para un naturalista que está leyendo en la faz de las rocas los anales de un mundo anterior, la cubierta musgosa que obstruye su vista, y hace indistinguibles las diferentes especies de piedra, no es menos que un serio motivo de pesar.

• People complain that the religious ground is unsure who have never compelled themselves to examine it with a tithe of the care spent on a contract; but they have taken current suggestions in a dreamy and hypnotised way. They will not attend, they will not force themselves to attend, gravely to the gravest things.... they read everything in a vagrant, browsing fashion. They turn on the most serious subjects the holiday, seaside, newspaper habit of mind

• While I would agree that I write about serious subjects, and that they're not necessarily the most pleasant subjects or even the most pleasant people, as a writer I just think about the humorous aspects of these things - that's what keeps me going when I'm writing a story.

• I don't think I'm morbid by nature. Serious writers have always written about serious subjects. Lighthearted material doesn't appeal to me, and I don't read it. I think I'm a realist, with a realistic sensibility of history and the tragedy of history.

  Joyce Carol Oates
