I don't know whether it ever comes back to the same thing; it does return to the spirit of a previous period in some way, but it's different, it's new.

I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas.

The process of art evolving is always one which has fascinated me.

I don't know whether it ever comes back to the same thing; it does return to the spirit of a previous period in some way, but it's different, it's new.

And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same.

Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new - for me, unique - in it.

In any art movement, the art has to move into a new phase - a filmmaker has a desire to make a film that is not like a previous film.

By drawing or exposing two or more patterns on the same bit of film I can create harmony and textual effects.

Film is changing, and it can't help but keep changing.

So people will come along and do new things and sometimes return to the spirit of an earlier age.

The good moral work of art should have all the qualities that a good amoral work of art should have, such as formal unity, balance, contrast, and a sensitivity to the material out of which it is made.

But it has, in addition, an even more precious quality - a consciousness of the human intelligence, the human spirit and that man is a social creature.

Unless it's done superbly, as in the Japanese film Gate of Hell, color can be a very distracting element.

The number of strokes to the inch controls the pitch of the note: the more, the higher the pitch; the fewer, the lower the pitch, the size of the stroke controls the loudness... the tone quality is the most difficult element to control, it is made by the shape of the strokes.

Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.

I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

Animation is manipulating the difference.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Times have changed since George Herbert... but the principle and spirit in which he ministered as a priest remains an inspiration and model for all priests.

The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion, etc.

Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.

Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul 'prays in us with unspeakable groanings'.

Each atom of the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and like all other matter has solidity, form, and size, and occupies space.

The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears.

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer.

To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit.

It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.

As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

I was part of it, and I am still part of it today in terms of what it means to a whole new generation of people who are interested in the enduring energy, achievements, spirit and creativity that exemplified our era.

I get excited about what the Holy Spirit is doing now through all the people he is refining and raising up all over this planet. I love connections and relationship and networking but it must be led by the Spirit.

In the report made on behalf of the C.G.T. we affirmed that the Peace Treaty should, in accordance with the spirit of workers' organizations, lay the first foundations of the United States of Europe.

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.

To me, there is spirit in a reed. It's a living thing, a weed, really, and it does contain spirit of a sort. It's really an ancient vibration.

Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.

There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.

There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.

Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.

People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

It is necessary to be concerned about the importance of educating a really beautiful human spirit.

If you be faithful, you will have that honor that comes from God: his Spirit will say in your hearts, Well done, good and faithful servants.

Everything is vain and tortures the spirit instead of calming and satisfying it.

When a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and manly thoughts, seek for no other test of its excellence. It is good, and made by a good workman.

Soft addictions are an alluring, seductive aspect of our culture - they are easy to attain and socially acceptable, they are even encouraged in many cases. Yet they are lethal to the spirit.

After a long, impartial enquiry of the truth, and after much and earnest calling upon God, to give unto me the spirit and revelation in the knowledge of Him, I find myself obliged, both by the principles of reason and Scripture, to embrace the opinion I now hold forth.
