The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth, and the Native American shared this elemental ethic: The land was alive to his loving touch, and he, its son, was brother to all creatures.
Stewart L. Udall
I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print.
John Mortimer
My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.
Hamlin Garland
Space, like time, engenders forgetfulness; but it does so by setting us bodily free from our surroundings and giving us back our primitive, unattached state
Thomas Mann
Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.
Hedda Hopper
Don`t ever for a minute make the mistake of looking down your nose at westerns. They`re art--the good ones, I mean. They deal in life and sudden death and primitive struggle, and with the basic emotions--love, hate, and anger--thrown in. We`ll have wester...
John Wayne
[On Alfred Hitchcock] I think he`s a very good technician. And he has something in Psycho (1960), he had some moments. Psycho is one of his most interesting pictures because he had to make the picture very fast, with very primitive means. He had little mo...

Hedda Hopper
The very desire for guarantees that our values are eternal and secure in some objective heaven is perhaps only a craving for the certainties of childhood or the absolute values of our primitive past.
Alfie Cox
The most primitive experiences of shame are connected with sight and being seen, but it has been interestingly suggested that guilt is rooted in hearing, the sound in oneself of the voice of judgment; it is the moral sentiment of the word.
Bernard Williams
The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes, who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.
Robert Bork
Steinbeck has drought and dust in the wrong parts of Oklahoma, ... And some Oklahomans and Texans didn`t like the rather primitive image he created of the Joads. They felt, with some justification, it propounded an Okie stereotype.
James Gregory
Shows were very different then - even as the headliner we did a very short set by today`s standards and sound systems were really primitive. But the girls made it all worthwhile!
Peter Asher
People just don`t laugh when their family is violated, and you don`t shrug it off. You band together and you defend together. It`s a funny, primitive instinct.
Phillip Noyce
Men were only made into "men" with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally "a man" any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.
Andrew Somers
I was using tape loops for dancers and dance production. I had very funky primitive equipment, in fact technology wasn`t very good no matter how much money you had.
Terry Riley
I was raised by my grandma and grandpa in Florida. My grandpa was a Primitive Baptist minister, and all of these ladies, I know. This is like coming home. It`s a joy to experience this young girl going through what she needs to go through to get to a plac...

I like 1977 because it is more primitive. If it were modern day, like one Universal guy was like wouldn`t they just use their cell phone? I guess he did not read that it was 1977 in the script.
Rob Zombie
I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.
