I’m really not interested in acting as a facade, I’m interested in it as an emotional expression and as a transcendent experience for an individual. I find that a lot of people, a lot of young actors, haven‘t gotten to the point where they’re comfortable being stripped down. They’re still interested in ornate jackets.

32
33
History is rife with examples of governments taking actions to ‘protect’ their citizens from harm by controlling access to information and inhibiting freedom of expression and other freedoms outlined in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
36

39
40

Mainly, I hope to inspire honesty. We live in a space where so much can be manipulated, and so much is expected to be manipulated – curated, contrived, edited. I think that’s a real detriment to self expression and happiness in a lot of ways. In my mind, honesty and vulnerability is the way forward.

74
The greatness of Mac Rebennack, alias, Dr. John, also known as John Crieux, rests on his command of the musical use of idiomatic expression. Not a technically well-endowed singer, nor a great songwriter, he leaves his mark through the discipline and control he exerts over all that he touches.
75
76
It just seemed to me to be a great story, set back in its time but something that seemed to have relevance for our time. Now that the film is coming out, it looks like we’re back in another time where repression of expression is all the rage.
77
The bones of my architecture are very much related to the structure, to the physical fact of how a building can stand up; it’s also related to geometry and a certain understanding of the architecture in which there is a balance between expression and function.
78
Those who profess the faith of Life regard the ideals of mankind as an expression of man’s higher needs. Ideals which were once incentives to development thus become a drag upon it whenever life’s needs demand new forms that are not recognised by the prevailing idealism.

80
81
82
Dreams are the expression of the unconscious while we are asleep.

88
I think differently, I think it’s about reaching everybody on every different plane and every different level, and if I could remix the song and do a dance remix, that’s great. If I could do a classical version, that’ll be great too. It’s all just about expression.

In the 1920s, big names in the Arab world spoke of Scheherazade as an example for intellectuals fighting for their rights. She was a fighter for the right of free expression.

112
113

114
115
When we look at social media, we really look at it on a continuum, and the continuum is from accumulation to instant expression.
116
117

118
119
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
120
121
I feel opera is an expression of artistic excellence. To do it is expensive, as there’s a requirement for an orchestra, good voices, excellent sets, and the fact that productions generally have only short runs. But I believe it’s something we ought to achieve as a nation.
122
Entrepreneurial profit is the expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production.
123

124
125

133
134
135
136
Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.
137
138
The beauty of interdisciplinary conversation is that the mode of expression is essentially different for each practitioner, even if ideas are shared.
139
140
I come from strong people who believe in the freedom of expression and, of course, a culture that believes in that. So the idea of overcoming adversity is something that is not unfamiliar.
141
142
143
All we want is to carry out the greatest expression of a free democracy and vote on Catalonia’s future. This is not about independence: it is about fundamental civil rights and the universal right of self-determination.

148
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that’s what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
149
Beyond racing, I just love the art form of running, of conceiving new ideas like the 50 Marathons in 50 States in 50 Days. It’s the ultimate expression of what I love to do, which is run, and travel, and see this great country.
150
To me, the highest expression of life is art with jokes. It’s very rarified, very difficult to accomplish if you want to be more than just funny and more than just jokes about human gaseousness.

154
Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope.

164
The goal of art was the vital expression of self.
165
The most important thing about intellectual property vs. creative expression is that copyright law was created not to stifle creativity but to encourage creativity.
166
167
To the image of the characters, I do change my appearance. For example, I gain weight and I lose weight sometimes, and I grow my hair and cut it. Acting is all about physical expression, so I need to change my appearance for all the characters.
168
169
Life is entirely unthinkable without any of the creative arts, and they’re all a continuum – the force in question is creativity, not its mode of expression.
170
171

178
If I only acted, I feel like I wouldn’t have enough creative expression over my own sensibility, and also if I only acted, the notion of surrendering my fate and future to other people is deeply unsettling to me and it would make me uncomfortable.
179
When I was in junior high, a foreign-history teacher started a theater class. So I got my feet wet there and through high school, so I was very fascinated with acting as a means of expression.

181
182

183

196
Beauty of expression is so akin to the voice of the sea.
197
I also helped write the five-page statement of principles that Civic Forum issued in late November. That was the first public expression of what the new government wanted to do.
198
The main thing in making your own music is that it’s an expression of someone’s personality and being. That’s what people want to hear, and you can’t really teach that – that’s just something that comes out. Teaching just hones that.
199

200
201

204
205
206
Painting, music, photography, and visual art have been creative forms of expression for me for decades.
207
True artistic expression lies in conveying emotion.
208

209
210
Control of vibrato helps your musical expression.
211
Spirituality is deeply personal. Yet, society has to face the fact that certain faiths celebrate spirituality through an overt expression of inner convictions.

213
214
215
For me, I love food. It’s my greatest pleasure and also the thing that could ruin you as well. It’s one of those things where, if you’re not thoughtful about it, it could be unhealthy. But if there’s a mindfulness about it; it actually is a wonderful tool of emotional expression.
216
Booty is just a ghetto expression, and I’m just a booty star.
217
Online communities are an expression of loneliness.
218
We can never intimidate and discourage the people who voice their words with courage. The essence of freedom rests precisely here – in the freedom of expression of the people. And we must protect it.
219
Everyone, regardless of the mode of expression, has a constitutionally protected right to free speech. But when it comes to freedom of the press, I believe we must define a journalist and the constitutional and statutory protections those journalists should receive.
220
Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man’s expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid.
221
222
223
Bill Watterson argued with his medium even as he eclipsed it. He was all too aware that no artistic expression better exemplifies our disposable consumer culture than the daily newspaper comic strip: today‘s masterpiece is tomorrow‘s birdcage lining.
224
Once citadels of free expression and occasional revolutionary ideas, today many American colleges have endorsed political correctness.
225
I went to a Catholic school, so of course we had to wear uniforms. My only form of expression was in shoes and the style of my hair.
226
Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law.
227
I say let’s go back to a truer use of the word ‘freedom.’ Let’s start with President Franklin Roosevelt‘s Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today.
228
Music is an intrinsic part of life; therefore, it is important to transport different forms of artistic expression, science, and mathematics into compositions.
229
A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
230
231
As soon as you judge communication a little more rigorously, there is a possibility that the message will not be democratized. I have to say what I believe to be right. I have to spread out the statement among all the means of expression available to us at present.
232
233
234
235
Science is the first expression of punk, because it doesn’t advance without challenging authority. It doesn’t make progress without tearing down what was there before and building upon the structure.
236
When you are doing a long scene, you have dialogue and interaction to narrate the character. But making sense out of facial expression and reacting is difficult. Having said that, I think such challenges are good for learning.
237
238
Once we accept violence as an adaptation, it makes sense that its expression is calibrated to the environment. The same individual will behave differently if he comes of age in Detroit, Mich., versus Windsor, Ontario; in New York in the 1980s versus New York now; in a culture of honor versus a culture of dignity.
239
In my book I don’t just demonstrate that free enterprise is the most efficient way of organizing an economy – which it is. I also show that it’s an expression of American values, and, thus, that a fight for free enterprise is very much a fight for our culture.
240
Lyric writing is an interesting process in Sonic Youth. There’s three people writing now, and we’ve all had a lot of interest and involvement with expression through words.
241
My grandfather wanted to remind us that freedom of expression is the fundamental ingredient for democracy, and all the rest is detail. It is the scaffolding around which every other freedom is based.
242
One of the things I had to really work on is, when you’re the leader of an organization, people look at the expression on your face. Your mood has a lot to do with how people think the whole organization is doing.
243
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
244
245
Freedom of expression – in particular, freedom of the press – guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.
246
247
I think that an industrial process is not like a rubber stamp. Everything has to be put together and, as such, should have its own expression.
248
249
The kind of support encouraged by such modes of expression has always arisen basically from confusing the fatherland itself with the social conditions which happened to prevail in it.
250
I have started using the expression ‘compassionate activism‘: It’s about keeping my heart open so that I can understand the point of view of the other person.
251
My opposition to Interviews lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language.

Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be honored. They are the authentic expression of who you are at your deepest place.
253
254
Freedom of expression is very important.
255
What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
256
For so many years, people have used the expression ‘poster boy of British MMA,’ but I’ve never seen myself as that; I certainly never described myself as that.
257
A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.
258
There’s a certain way people are used to seeing nude women, and that’s in a submissive, coy pose, not looking at the camera. And in this poster, I’m looking dead into the camera with no expression on my face. I think it freaks a lot of people out.
259
If your faith is opposed to experience, to human learning and investigation, it is not worth the breath used in giving it expression.
260
261
Original thought, original artistic expression is by its very nature questioning, irreverent, iconoclastic.
262
Sharia is the impetus behind multinational diplomatic efforts to accommodate Sharia blasphemy prohibitions on expression that offends Muslims.
263
I liked to watch the expression in the fighter’s face change when you connected with him. You know when you connect in the right spot. It’s like a tunnel vision.
264
Technology is us. There is no separation. It’s a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn’t exist anywhere else in the universe. I’m rather sure of that.
265
I tried to instill a different motivation, to give them the security and the conviction that they were doing something good, something necessary, something useful – if you want to use a grandiose expression, that they were doing something for peace.
266
267
268
269
A mission statement is not something you write overnight… But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
270
People who believe in freedom of expression have spent several centuries fighting against censorship, in whatever form. We have to be certain the ‘Net’ doesn’t become the site for technological book burning.
271
Hair color is just an expression of something different that you want to have, or something creative.
272
We could not have launched Causes without Facebook Platform, providing real identity and real friends. Facebook Platform was created so that experiences that are inherently social in our off-line lives could be brought online as an authentic expression of who we are; Facebook did this best in revolutionizing photo sharing.
273
I think jazz is the foundation for a lot of great musicians, and then after that, you know, it’s this broad expression of things that really have influenced and addressed your life.
274
During the year 1894, Pierre Curie wrote me letters that seem to me admirable in their form. No one of them was very long, for he had the habit of concise expression, but all were written in a spirit of sincerity and with an evident anxiety to make the one he desired as a companion know him as he was.
275
276
Fighting is an expression. It’s a form of speech, and that’s why they call it martial arts. It’s an art.
277
In a repressed society, artists fulfil a sense of harking back to instant gratification, or immediate expression, by doing things that function on the edge of society, or outside of what is conventionally accepted.
278
I wanted to play my violin and have my musical expression through the instrument. But then I was really young when I had my first opportunity to conduct.
279
Love… Force it and it disappears. You cannot will love, nor even control it. You can only guide its expression. It comes or it goes according to those qualities in life that invite it or deny its presence.
280
There’s no wrong way of doing art. It’s an expression of the individual.
281
I have a more direct avenue to expression as an artist than I ever would as a politician.

287

289
Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
290
Since, however, the reduced surplus value is to be distributed among them in like manner, the modification of their respective parts in the production of surplus value must find expression in a modification of the prices.
291
There is the expression of selfishness and there is the expression of selflessness – but economists or theoreticians never touched that part. They said: ‘Go and become a philanthropist.’ I said, ‘No, I can do that in the business world, create a different kind of business – a business based on selflessness.’
292
We believe democracy cannot be imposed from outside in any society. Democracy is the expression of a sovereign people.
293
294
295
Expression, to a great extent, is a matter of terms, and terms are anyone’s. The meaning of ‘God’ may have a billion interpretations if there be that many souls in the world.
296
What I’ve always loved about gymnastics and one of the many reasons I love watching it now is the combination of skill and freedom it has – the discipline and expression – letting you dance.
297
298
Being a wife and a mother is very gratifying, but it’s not a creative expression and that’s something I need to be happy.
299
All kinds of ways of expression are spreading out all over the place, information is overflowing, and it’s harder and harder to be excited about anything.
300
301
302
I’ve made $50 million over the years as a movie star, if you’ll pardon the expression, and I’ve given most of it to the bookies.
303
304
305
The poem ‘What Teachers Make’ is not without its detractors. This one person wrote to me and said: ‘Gee, Mr. Mali. You don’t possibly have a teacher-God complex, do you?’ And that was the first time I’d ever heard of that expression. So, yeah, I’m sure I have a teacher-God complex.
306
307
I always find Bach to be an expression of a love of life. There’s an enthusiasm that’s absolutely contagious.
308
The beauty of women was the first expression of my photography.
309
A lot of musicians are good cooks, and a lot of cooks are musicians, but I think that may just be a result of the creative impulse finding several means of expression. Probably an equivalent number are visual artists, woodworkers or compulsive liars.
310
311
I hate the expression, ‘I’m not fake.’
312
If you can tune into your purpose and really align with it, setting goals so that your vision is an expression of that purpose, then life flows much more easily.
313

I think K-Pop is a type of expression.
316
‘Uff da,’ for the unenlightened, is Norwegian for ‘oy vey’ and is a common expression in Minnesotese.
317
The way I drive, the way I handle a car, is an expression of my inner feelings.
318
319
Artists often become vocal advocates of freedom of expression because we depend on it so heavily in our work. But it is an inalienable right that belongs to everyone on an equal basis.
320
Food is an international language, an expression of love.
321
It really has become the singular motivation in my life – to surrender to the art and to the free expression of what I may be experiencing in my life spiritually. It is really hard in the face of people who don’t get it, but what do you do?
322
323
324
325
Whereas in the past people have seen the two sexes as almost incomprehensibly different, now there is a group of people that are explaining the connections between both the genders, literally in the way their biology informs some of their expression.
326
327
For the stage displays the first vigorous expression, as the natural thing and without conspicuous restraint, of private individuality.
328
I regard freedom of expression as the primary right without which one can not have a proper functioning democracy.
329
An aristocratic culture does not advertise its emotions. In its forms of expression it is sober and reserved. Its general attitude is stoic.
330
Since I was young, the artistic expression that fashion embodies has inspired me. It’s a way to communicate oneself.
331
The negative aspects of Scottish Nationalism are a kind of aggressive complacency, that sort of boasting; but that’s an expression of insecurity, I think, of a lack of confidence.
332
333
334
Success means at least you are finding full potential to who you are in terms of your intelligence, your capability and competence: you are finding full expression to who you are. This is important.
335
336
A world view is probably an expression of self.
337
People should be respected for the strength of their convictions, and I also believe in freedom of expression.
338
Al Jazeera is known in the Arab world as the voice of freedom of expression.
339
340
We have never done anything to stop freedom of expression or freedom of press.
341
Hip hop’s all about expression. That’s why I got into it.
342
343
True expression is hard when performing opera. The problem is that opera relies on the dramatic context of the piece. It can be interpreted and represented, but there are guidelines; there is a vocabulary within the pieces that you must know objectively and reflect.
344
345
346
347
348
I’m a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.
349
Some of the best actors in the world are very exterior actors, Anthony Hopkins being one of them. He knows exactly how to turn his face to get a certain expression. He knows exactly what to do with eyes, and with his voice. It’s very exterior.
350
Beauty, like truth, is relative to the time when one lives and to the individual who can grasp it. The expression of beauty is in direct ratio to the power of conception the artist has acquired.
351
352
353
Beauty means expression and being your most authentic self.
354
Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.
355
356
357
It’s not just music. To me, it’s songwriting more than anything. A lot of people say it’s expression, but to me, it’s more than that.
358
I cry a lot. Usually once a day. I think it’s one of the most profound forms of human expression.
359
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
360
361
But there’s still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression.
362
363
I entirely agree with you about the obscurity of Mrs Browning’s line about the stars. It is far-fetched. She wanted to express something which she found beyond expression.
364
My music is the spiritual expression of what I am – my faith, my knowledge, my being.
365
I was intelligent enough to make up my own mind. I not only had freedom of choice, I had freedom of expression.
366
You can dramatically affect the expression of your metabolism and your biochemistry by the way you eat and the way you live.
367
Marvel is really about the stories of Peter Parker and Bruce Banner or Jessica Jones. These are – I’m hesitant to say the word, but – real people with real problems whose power comes, to use the great expression, with great responsibility.
368
I look at characters to see if they have some contrasts to play with; I think that’s always what I’m looking for in characters: ones that have a wide range of expression.
369
370
Now whatever the origin of this apparently meaningless jumble of ideas may have been, it is really a perfect and very slightly allegorical expression of the actual present views we hold today.
371
372
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that’s art.
373
At the present moment, with little or no detail to hand, it is difficult for me to make any comment, beyond the expression of horror at the shameless haste with which the government appears to be pressing for our liquidation.
374
375
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
376
377
A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they’re doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they’re done, the models don’t have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
378
My parents locked off most areas of expression. The only outlet left to me was the arts.
379
380
Great art is the expression of a solution of the conflict between the demands of the world without and that within.
381
Baldwin gave expression to the longings of blacks in exalted prose. He was embraced, in the tradition of Negro Firsterism, even by those who never sat down with a book, as our preeminent literary spokesman, whether he liked it or not. Neither athlete nor entertainer, but nevertheless a star.
382
383
In the final analysis, the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within.
384
Well, I am not interested in the kind of expression that you have when you paint a painting with brush strokes. It’s all right, but it’s already done and I want to do something new.
385
I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.
386
Having lived through the transition from totalitarianism, I am acutely mindful of the need to never take for granted the basic freedoms of thought, expression and belief that democracy brings.
387
I want makeup to be more about freedom of expression. If I want to put on makeup and make myself look different, I can, but it’s not a standard for every single day.
388
389
390
Dance, to me, is an expression of who we are.
391
But please know, whether you believe campaign contributions are speech or property, that I learned to love very dearly the right of free expression when I lived without that freedom for a while a long time ago.
392
It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression.
393
The Zionist movement gave political expression to our claim to the land of Israel. And in 1922, the League of Nations recognized the justice of this claim.
394
I’ve long been interested in looking at the culture of consumerism and also was interested in this connection between the American dream and the house, and the house being kind of the ultimate expression of self and success.
395
396
397
398
399
I do have my ducks in line if I want to do it, but I’d love to see the Republicans pick somebody that was going to win and take over this country and frankly, to use the expression, ‘Make America great again.’
400
401
402
403
I have an expression I use as I’ve gone around the world through my career: ‘You never tell another man or woman what’s in their interest. They know their interest better than you know their interest.’
404
I think it would be funny for people to read in obituaries of me that my major contribution to the arts was the popularization of the phrases ‘neutral facial expression’ and ‘screaming in agony.’
405
406
At the end of the day, makeup comes off whether you’re a man or a woman; why discriminate against men, when makeup is such an amazing form of artistic expression, just because society says it’s not ‘normal?’
407
When women are told that sexual harassment is ‘part of the job’ or when assistants of both sexes enable harassing behavior, they have bought into the culture that says such behavior is not just permissible, it is a desirable expression of power.
408
Freedom of expression, innovation, and choice drive our economy.
409
410
I think that literature is something that embraces a much larger experience than politics. It’s an expression of what is life, of what are all the dimensions of life. But politics is one among others.
411
Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we believe and in Whom we believe. And the only real wealth, for any of us, lies in our faith.
412
413
414
I don’t think that people are disinterested or uninterested in politics. I think very often they are disengaged from the formal political process. To some extent they are suspicious or even despairing of formal politics as a means to give expression and effect to what they want.
415
When I started out doing comedy, I was still in college and was working day jobs. I taught preschool for a few years. And then I got more into freelance writing. So stand-up has always been my primary independent creative mode of expression. I’ve done it my whole adult and young adult life.
416
417
Jordan is Palestine. The capital of Palestine is Amman. If Palestinian Arabs want to find their political expression, they will have to do it in Amman.
418
419
Like Love, Art ties together all the great sacred traditions because they all used creative expression, or we wouldn’t know about them.
420
There’s an expression: Great is the enemy of the good. Sometimes in trying to be great, you make a mess of things.
421
Art is where we make a stand. If we don’t make it there, freedom of expression is lost for everyone – for artists, for journalists, and for everyday people.
422
423
424
If I were a carpenter, I’d find a way to empower using that skill. I’m using as much as God has given – my mind, my voice, my heart, my art forms. This is the highest form of expression on the planet from God, to me, to you.
425
426
427
Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite expressions.
428
Design is an expression of one’s most deeply rooted internal values.
429
Art is accusation, expression, passion. Art is a fight to the finish between black charcoal and white paper.
430
Like all revolutions, the surrealist revolution was a reversion, a restitution, an expression of vital and indispensable spiritual needs.
431
432
433
434
My hypothesis is not so much that the court is the natural expression of popular justice, but rather that its historical function is to ensnare it, to control it and strangle it, by re-inscribing it within institutions which are typical of a state apparatus.
435
436
When you tell people you’re a playwright, their eyes sort of glaze over. But when you say you write the ‘Fantastic Four’ or ‘Spider-Man,’ they perk up. It’s a touchstone that has gained more credibility as artistic expression.
437
My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.
438
439
Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
440
Wisdom finds its literary expression in wisdom literature.
441
442
In a sense, every form of expression is imposed upon one by social factors, one’s own language above all.
443
444
Music is an expression of life, who you are, and what you’ve been through.
