Electricity is of two kinds, positive and negative. The difference is, I presume, that one comes a little more expensive, but is more durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it.
Stephen Leacock
The word "Witch" carries so many negative connotations that many people wonder why we use the word at all. Yet to reclaim the word "Witch" is to reclaim our right, as women, to be powerful; as men, to know the feminine within as divine.
Starhawk
Whether a person feels positive or not is kind of a comment on their personality and of no great interest. You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or someth...
Avram Noam Chomsky
Let us repeat the two crucial negative premises as established firmly by all human experience: (1) Words are not the things we are speaking about; and (2) There is no such thing as an object in absolute isolation.
Alfred Korzybski
If hooking a car battery up to a monkey`s brain will help find the cure for AIDS and save somebody`s life, I have two things to say... the red is positive and the black is negative.
Nick DiPaolo
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
Michael Jordan
There`s been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn`t have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can`t count the ways a director`s vision is...
Lili Taylor
Sometimes you see folks who have a negative view of dreamers - people who sit around all day on their hindquarters and do absolutely nothing. These folks aren`t dreamers - they are just lazy. To me, dreaming is just part of being alive, inspired, and curi...
Dolly Parton
He`s terrific. I think Casino Royale (2006) is a huge step forward - a leap forward. It`s great and Daniel`s great. He got a lot of stick when he was doing it. There was a lot of negative press. He was criticized by people who didn`t have a clue what was ...
Timothy Dalton
I think it`s easier for the general public to embrace me in a negative way. You have people who already have a perception of me that says I`m a bad person.
50 Cent
I`m not a very popular person. I was pushed to show the unfinished version of Brown Bunny in Cannes, against my judgement. And even though a lot of negative reaction to the film came from not setting up the presentation very well, I still felt responsible...
Vincent Gallo
When you say the word "Arab", I suppose the first thing that springs into anyone`s mind is "terrorist", suicide bomber, big scary beard, oil sheik, violence - all negative associations. I had no interest in being a part of anything that hurts me as a pers...
Khalid Abdalla
You get more negative reactions than positive reactions as you go through life, and the big lesson is nobody counts you out but yourself...I never have, I never will.
Buddy Ebsen
The triangle on my chest represents the divinity of myself and others. The band around my arm represents the creative essence of life in a swirl of positive and negative forces. - explaining the symbolism of two of her tattoos in Budget Living Magazine
Joan Jett
That`s the way stories come to me, they come to me very naturally like that. If this was a story about me and someone else, I would be withholding information about them immediately. The negative thing about the twist is that it`s all people are occupied ...
M. Shyamalan
Unlike life, acting requires no social conditioning. I feel free to let my character do whatever it has to do. Besides. I never think of them as negative, they all have their own worthwhile motives.
Clare Kramer
I`ve always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It`s so much easier to be negative and cynical and predict doom for the world than it is to try and figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter.
Jim Henson
I have seen so few films in which the sex felt really respected by the filmmaker. Hollywood too often shies away from it or makes adolescent jokes about it. ... Sex is only connected to the negative because people are scared of it.
John Cameron Mitchell
I hope it`s going to be liberating. I`m not putting any negative spin on this because to be typecast as James Bond is a very high-class problem for an actor, and I`m certainly going to try to get as much out of it as I can. Of course I am always going to ...
Daniel Craig
Everything that`s written about me has such a negative taint. It just has a life of its own, like an avalanche, and I don`t think there`s anything I can do to stop it.
Roseanne Barr
(On his character in "The Shield" (2002)) "I`m always blown away by people`s negative reactions to Kavanaugh. He`s a highly moral man who`s brought to the breaking point. To me, he`s like an angel. Yes, he`s obsessive. Anal. Intense. But his goal is to ge...
Forest Whitaker
I grew up watching things like The Brain That Wouldn`t Die (1962) on Saturday afternoon television. There`s a guy with his arm ripped off and blood smeared all over the wall. I never saw it as negative. I find that stuff, when it`s not rooted in reality, ...
Tim Burton
Somehow, it seems that the sadder a song is, the happier I feel. The release of emotions that many would label as `negative` is actually a liberating process for me.
Grey Delisle
I want to show that from the negative, when you dare to see it, the positive is born, because there is the root to the good. I have inside myself, for example, a sharp aggression. But if you remove it, I loose my creativity. I have a great insecurity, but...
