For most of human history, there was a ruling class and then there was everybody else. If you were part of everybody else, it wasn’t your job to imagine a different future, different ways of doing things. So, imagination is a fairly modern phenomenon.

I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first they’re going to love ‘Harry Potter,’ or they may love ‘The Hunger Games,’ but after that, they’re going to love the act of reading and wonder, ‘What else can I read?’

I love the fact that H&M has created a new phenomenon in fashion through the pioneering concept of collaborating with high-end designers to create one-off limited-edition capsule collections. I am thrilled that my creations for H&M will be accessible to – and hopefully enjoyed by – so many people around the world.

18
Every time the DSM prepares for a new edition, there are countless groups lobbying to get their particular mental illness recognized by the diagnostic manual. Surely, this is a social and cultural phenomenon.

MTV was just such a big pop cultural phenomenon, and I was lucky to be part of it.
21
‘Black Panther‘ is a phenomenon – it is all right in its own thing.
22
23
When we started work on ‘Baahubali,’ my sheer aim was to be able to live up to the imagination that Rajamouli sir had in mind. As an actor, my intention was to bring up ‘Baahubali’ live on screen for the audiences. I never even expected in my wildest of dreams that the film would grow on to become a phenomenon of sorts.
24
25
The development of science is basically a social phenomenon, dependent on hard work and mutual support of many scientists and on the societies in which they live.
26
You’ll learn that the most worthwhile exercises are preceded by this very human phenomenon, fear. Marriage, parenthood, relationships.
27
28
I have said that propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation have always been part of political warfare. Social media and other new platforms have given it a new life and reach through which the fake news phenomenon can reach everywhere.
29
It’s a historical phenomenon that in 250 years, a nation could move from a colony into the most prosperous nation of the world and the leader of the world. It is indeed an achievement, a tribute to the talent of the American nation, the American people and an optimal political and economic system.

33
I’ve had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I’ve been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions.
34
35
Taken as a whole, Europe‘s share of world output is projected to fall by almost a third in the next two decades. This is the competitiveness challenge – and much of our weakness in meeting it is self-inflicted. Complex rules restricting our labour markets are not some naturally occurring phenomenon.
36
37
For me, the level at which natural selection causes the phenomenon of adaptation is the level of the replicator – the gene.
38
39
40
Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
41
Instead of seeing depression as a dysfunction, it is a functioning phenomenon. It stops you cold, sets you down, makes you damn miserable.
42
43
44
45
Death is a dying industry with an economic phenomenon.
46
I don’t hear women who are less privileged thinking they’re entitled to everything, whenever they want it. That’s a privilege phenomenon, but it is a phenomenon.
47
Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.

52
To do this movie in a watered-down fashion or have these characters be watered down wouldn’t have been near as effective. It wouldn’t have been staying true to what this ‘Watchmen‘ phenomenon is.
53
Men killing other men really is an extraordinary phenomenon. Why does it happen? And how long has it gone on? And have the motives changed?
54
Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization, the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity.
55
56
For X-rays, the phenomenon of diffraction by crystals was a natural consequence of the idea that X-rays are waves analogous to light and differ from it only by having a smaller wavelength.
57
Analyses of the movie marketplace points to an interesting phenomenon: High-profile movies are continuing to do well year-to-year in the U.S. and overseas – this past summer, for example, the top 10 movies registered at the same level as in ’04.
58
59
I keep trying to understand the phenomenon of why adults are so literal when children are so imaginative. Toys are a caricature of reality.
60
61
With the social media phenomenon, where people’s opinions inform so much of what we do with our lives, where the number of ‘likes’ decides what we should program, I cringe.
62
63
64
The lawlessness of frontier life in America has been pictured as a remarkable phenomenon. In reality, it was the natural consequence of indiscriminate mixing of volatile substances.
65
66
The entire world is a witness to the phenomenon that sorrows keep away from the kindhearted and compassionate.
67
These megaleaks… They’re an important phenomenon, and they’re only going to increase.
68
69
70
We’re used to thinking of force as a stable phenomenon, but it has a cinematic variable, which is acceleration.
71
The concept of serendipity often crops up in research. Serendipity is the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things that were not being sought. I believe that all researchers can be serendipitous.
72
73
74
Games have become a social phenomenon.
75
76
I think of Google as a set of overlapping things. It’s a consumer platform, consumer phenomenon of which search is its fundamental activity, but there are many other things you can do than search… I think of Google as an advertising company who services the broader advertising industry in the ways that you know.
77
78
79
Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently – the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs ‘good tricks.’
80
The tech world is not a new phenomenon; it’s a new era.
81
82
The phenomenon of Instagram poets – who are also, to be fair, Tumblr poets and Pinterest poets – has been one of the more surprising side-effects of the selfie age.
83
Social messaging has become the defining app of the smartphone era. Social payments has been a natural extension of this phenomenon – it’s going to be the locus of most communications activity.
84
A voyage to Europe in the summer of 1921 gave me the first opportunity of observing the wonderful blue opalescence of the Mediterranean Sea. It seemed not unlikely that the phenomenon owed its origin to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of the water.
85
The whole hardware industry has experienced the phenomenon in which every time computers get cheaper, they appeal to a new set of users; every time they get more powerful, old customers upgrade.
86
It’s hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.
87
88
89
90
91
I think everyone is very surprised at how ‘Matrix‘ has become the pop culture phenomenon that it is.
92
First off, I have to mention what is undoubtedly the greatest phenomenon of the modern era: All You Can Eat Buffets.
93
My biggest luck was the Terry McMillan era, because what happened after the phenomenon of ‘Waiting to Exhale’ is that publishing woke up. They said, ‘Wow. Black people do read.’
94
95
Liberace was one of the biggest stars in America. He was a kind of a phenomenon.
96
K-pop itself is not just a music genre, but a whole cultural phenomenon.
97
98
99
What ‘Strong Island‘ does is bring a historical perspective and help people understand that what we’re treating as a modern-day phenomenon is actually not modern. It’s actually quite old.
100
The idea of literalism in the Bible is a very new phenomenon. In many ways, it’s a product of the scientific revolution.
101
102
Culture relates to objects and is a phenomenon of the world; entertainment relates to people and is a phenomenon of life.
103
It’s a funny thing, ‘The Office,’ because millions and millions and millions and millions of people didn’t watch it. But culturally, it is more of a phenomenon than almost anything else I can remember as far as British television is concerned.
104
105
Life expectancy is a statistical phenomenon. You could still be hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow.
106
107
108
‘French Women Don’t Get Fat‘ has become something of a phenomenon.
109
110
111
We too, through lack of knowledge and of sufficiently mature reflection, mistook the visible outward appearance of the phenomenon for the phenomenon itself.
112
By 1988, I’m seeing this commercial phenomenon beginning to show up. Hardware makers are selling routers to universities so they can build up their campus networks. So I remember thinking, ‘Well, how are we going to get this in the hands of the general public?’ There were no public Internet services at that point.
113
It’s an uncommon phenomenon, but Mahesh’s popularity has never been dictated by the success of his films.
114
Sex in the City was a different kind of phenomenon because of the show itself is a phenomenon and to me that’s successful because to resonate with women across the board for six years and have only one African-American actor pass through for one episode.
115
Leadership has become a heavy industry. Concern and interest about leadership development is no longer an American phenomenon. It is truly global. Though I will probably be in less demand, I wanted to move on.
116
To be sure, the hard-to-come-by interview – the ‘get’ – isn’t an uncommon phenomenon here at ‘The Daily Show.’ We’ve had high-profile dignitaries, low-profile indignitaries, stars you’ve heard of, authors you should have read.
117
118
119
The affinity of blood or pure haemoglobins for oxygen is a complex phenomenon, depending upon a number of conditions, the most important of which are temperature and hydrogen ion concentration.
120
121
122
Value is consequently the necessary theoretical starting point whence we can elucidate the peculiar phenomenon of prices resulting from capitalist competition.
123
124
125
All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world.
126
In Los Angeles, we’ve seen a phenomenon where a school will go from one that no one will go to, to within three years becoming the ‘hot‘ school. I’ve seen this over and over again.
127
One area of liberal phenomenon I support is female bi-sexuality.
128
129
Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon, which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified, is what we shall have to deal with first of all.
130
If I’m a phenomenon, it makes me feel like I have no purpose.
131
132
133
134
I’m over here with the French counterterrorism experts talking about the ‘Charlie Hebdo’ case, how we can stop foreign fighters from coming out of Iraq and Syria to Europe, but then we have this phenomenon in the United States where they can be activated by the Internet, and, really, terrorism has gone viral.
135
We tend to think of our selves as the only wholly unique creations in nature, but it is not so. Uniqueness is so commonplace a property of living things that there is really nothing at all unique about it. A phenomenon can’t be unique and universal at the same time.
136
137
Something that can be so vital at one point can be inconsequential at another. I’m just intrigued by that phenomenon.
138
139
140
‘Boardwalk‘ begins literally on the first day of Prohibition, which I think was a wonderful way to start – to have the story kind of come out of this massive historical phenomenon. And the more I researched the ’20s, the more I discovered just how interesting it was.
141
142
The uneducated person perceives only the individual phenomenon, the partly educated person the rule, and the educated person the exception.
143
144
145
146
When fans of mine meet me, I can see the disappointment in their eyes. Every artist knows of this phenomenon.
147
148
It was a phenomenon I noticed many years ago. Young people were just giving up every bit of information about themselves they could.
149
150
151
‘The Walking Dead’ do such a great job with that world. It is real, but it’s also otherworldly; it’s strangely theatrical, and I suddenly did become quite invested in the whole zombie phenomenon.
152
153
Talk to people… everything good I’ve done has come from conversations with people. Science is a very social phenomenon.
154
155
I’m absolutely convinced that the very small global warming we are experiencing is the result of natural causes. It’s a cyclical phenomenon in the history of the Earth. The role of man is very small, almost negligible.
156
157
158
The bubble, as investing phenomenon, has been well studied ever since the 17th-century tulip bulb frenzy. Its counterpart in bear markets is not well understood.
159
Fame is a modern phenomenon caused by the explosion of media, where there’s a zillion digital channels and snappers everywhere. It’s so attainable, so people can have their Warhol 15 minutes of fame, and some are so aggressive.
160
The phenomenon of fame is literally invisible, but it influences and dominates your life if you aren’t careful.
161
Being a vegan is a first-world phenomenon, completely self-indulgent.
162
163
Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.
164
I don’t think anyone can ever predict a phenomenon. It’s not something you can bank on.
165
166
What a wonderful phenomenon it is, carefully considered, when the human eye, that jewel of organic structures, concentrates its moist brilliance on another human creature!
167
To me, in retrospect, it was amazing that ‘Seinfeld‘ was a show that had such mass appeal. At first it was a disaster in the ratings, but then it became a cultural phenomenon. I don’t know if that’s possible anymore, but I don’t try for that.
168
169
It’s a phenomenon how ‘Grease‘ is so popular; it really is.
170
171
172
173
A John Updike is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon, if that generation is lucky: so comfortable in so many genres, the same lively, generous intelligence suffusing all he did.
174
As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon of near-death experiences.
175
I’m becoming more of a religious person actually as I get older, which I think is not an unusual phenomenon.
176
I actually believe that this Trump phenomenon, which has affected many of us, is going to accelerate the use of art for philanthropy, because people are realizing that art is a vehicle for showing opposition – just look at the signs in the women’s marches.
177
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players not only of his time, but of all time. He is an absolute phenomenon.
178
179
180
Happiness is a real, objective phenomenon, scientifically verifiable. That means people and whole societies can now be measured over time and compared accurately with one another. Causes and cures for unhappiness can be quantified.
181
182
183
There are too many remakes, too many reimaginings. Nothing new, and that’s always a bad sign. They remade ‘Frankenstein‘ 26 times between 1930 and 1970, so it’s not a new phenomenon.
184
185
186
We also have a cultural phenomenon: the emergence of a global culture, or of cultural globalization.
187
188
189
190
The study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon.
191
The desire to share is not a vague, windy sentiment, not when you see the massive rise in live concerts in response to the phenomenon of downloading music… People want to get rid of the headphones and be part of a shared experience.
192
193
194
I wouldn’t say I’m a phenomenon, just a great athlete.
195
I’m getting TV coverage just about everywhere as they compare the ‘Bob Sapp phenomenon’ to the biggest thing from Pokemon to Godzilla.
196
Sometimes, you’ll watch the news and you’ll see two-year-old boys in South Africa, wearing ‘Spider-Man’ t-shirts. It’s such a global phenomenon.
197
198
199
200
People will say, ‘I really don’t like romance,’ or, ‘I don’t read it – at all!’ So how do they know? Weirdly, I think that the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey‘ phenomenon introduced women to romance who would never have read it. And that means that they then go on to read my books, and that would be great.
201
202
203
204
I think it may not be a coincidence that the rise of printing and book publication and literacy and the phenomenon of best sellers all preceded the humanitarian reforms of the Enlightenment.
205
206
207
Sometimes you design a shoe, and you think this one is a winner, but you never know when something will be such a crazy phenomenon.
208
209
The Trump phenomenon might feel both interminable and unprecedented to Republican elites, but of course it isn’t.
210
211
I think ‘Twilight‘ was such a phenomenon that it will be awhile before anything like that will happen again. Cause it really influenced pop culture, and the stars of it – well, the people who became stars out of it – their lives were completely changed.
212
If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there are so many books on how to do it?
213
I’ve long been interested in the tale-within-a-tale phenomenon. I’m familiar with many tales which use this framework or the device of many people in one place, telling their stories, or multiple storytellers commenting on each others‘ stories with their own.
214
The blockchain cannot be described just as a revolution. It is a tsunami-like phenomenon, slowly advancing and gradually enveloping everything along its way by the force of its progression.
215
Regulators are going to have to come up with a way to treat Bitcoin that is balanced and thoughtful but also recognize that this is a global phenomenon.
216
Myths are stories that explain a natural phenomenon. Before humans found scientific explanations for such things as the moon and the sun and rainbows, they tried to understand them by telling stories.
217
Evolutionary biologists have long pondered the phenomenon of the changing colours of autumn leaves. It’s possible that the red pigments are manufactured in the leaf as a side-effect of something else that’s happening at this time.
218
No phenomenon can be isolated, but has repercussions through every aspect of our lives. We are learning that we are a fundamental part of nature’s ecosystems.
219
Fame is an interesting phenomenon.
220
221
222
223
The Trump phenomenon is in large part a reaction of Middle America to attacks on its values by intellectual and academic communities. There are other reasons, but this is a significant one.
224
Generally speaking, by the time a subculture such as steampunk secures the attention of major media, resulting in extensive coverage of the craze, said phenomenon is already on the way out.
225
226
There is no doubt that there is a very strange phenomenon called the ‘State Comptroller.’
227
228
Dreaming is a phenomenon of purely individual consciousness, and consequently impossible to thoroughly deconstruct by a community of researchers. But dreaming matters.
229
‘Dancing With the Stars’ has become a phenomenon, and when I look at that type of reality show, it’s like a variety show.
230
Trump does magic. Maybe it will be black magic sometime, but he’s an amazing phenomenon.
231
232
233
And of course I’ve got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I’m now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You’re suddenly hip.
234
235
Corruption has its own motivations, and one has to thoroughly study that phenomenon and eliminate the foundations that allow corruption to exist.
236
237
Around 1930, a small new phenomenon arose in Depression-ridden America, spawned out of the letter columns in science fiction magazines: fandom.
238
For me, Mr. T and Donald Trump are the same sort of phenomenon – they’re guys with catchphrases and wacky hair.
239
We cannot explain the phenomenon of gravitational lensing without general relativity, and this is where MOND spectacularly fails.
240
That is a strange phenomenon, people pretending to be other people.
241
The phenomenon of creativity, we know, is closely related to the ability to yoke together separate, and even seemingly incompatible, matrices.
242
243
I would have gone right ahead but the only thing, the only phenomenon that’s going on now of course, which is different in my experiences, is that you are getting things planted in the Net by people about the Woman in White on the Net. That’s not a nice change.
244
By 2050, seven out of ten people will live in cities, which will account for six billion people living in urban areas. That phenomenon is central to all the challenges humanity faces. If there is an issue to be addressed, then it is certainly happening in cities and therefore must be considered on an urban scale.
245
All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon, what it means to you.
246
247
The simplest and most psychologically satisfying explanation of any observed phenomenon is that it happened that way because someone wanted it to happen that way.
248
The natural phenomenon of the universe is so mind-blowing, but you have to know about it. You have to be curious. You’ve got to find it on your own. If you’re lucky, you do.
249
It is not only just a Indian phenomenon but it’s happening the world over. People are taking old movies and remaking them; old serials are being made into web series. There is no harm in remixing the song if you do it well.
250
251
In every single culture I encountered, there were always women who defied cultural norms to do what they believed was right for them. This phenomenon has never been related to how rich, poor, successful or not successful the woman may be.
252
Healing and miracles have been a mystery to men of all times. To some, the phenomenon is frightening, while others find it exhilarating.
253
254
At the end of the ’90s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America.
255
256
257
Can you imagine that Cuba and Europe’s youth, who had forgotten about traditional music, who only thought of rock music, are now looking back towards their grandparents? That is a phenomenon.
258
259
The geysering on Enceladus is the most astonishing phenomenon we have in our solar system.
260
There’s no one in the world close to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is a phenomenon. He’s brilliant.
261
Technological change is never an isolated phenomenon. This revolution takes place inside a complex ecosystem which comprises business, governmental and societal dimensions. To make a country fit for the new type of innovation-driven competition, the whole ecosystem has to be considered.
262
263
My greatest joy comes from creativity: from feeling that I have been able to identify a certain aspect of human nature and crystallise a phenomenon in words.
264
No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon.
265
When you’re part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.
266
267
The moment you have massive social and political commentary trying to explain a phenomenon, then you know we are no longer dealing with a strictly psychiatric question.
268
I don’t believe that we evolved moral psychology; it just doesn’t seem plausible to me as a biological phenomenon.
269
270
When I was volunteering with Hurricane Katrina refugees in Houston in 2005, I first started thinking about the whole phenomenon of grace under pressure.
271
Real biologists who actually do the research will tell you that they almost never find a phenomenon, no matter how odd or irrelevant it looks when they first see it, that doesn’t prove to serve a function. The outcome itself may be due to small accidents of evolution.
272
273
I sense that the sea of smart phones lit up at concerts is a temporary phenomenon. The integration of technology, sharing, and social into our physical world, on the other hand, well, that ain’t going away.
274
Contagion has become very much a phenomenon, and it’s a phenomenon of globalization.
275
It’s about process, the process of growth. It seems to me in my own life – and other minds throughout history have also observed this phenomenon – that growth seems to move in two directions at the same time.
276
We, in Prince Edward Island, are fully familiar with this modern phenomenon.
277
Theater represents to me this phenomenon in juxtaposition to real life, where there are all these imposed guidelines.
278
279
Mass literacy is a phenomenon of the past few centuries, and one that has reached the majority of the world’s adult population only within the past 75 years.
280
281
The three-body problem is a term borrowed from physics. It is a phenomenon that can basically be explained like this: Two objects in space can interact in a predictable fashion rotating around each other due to their gravitational pull. But if a third object is introduced, it makes their interaction more complicated.
282
The will is not free – it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect – but there is something behind the will which is free.
283
Walking down the street in any town or city in the world and having people look at you and start talking to you, convinced that they know you as well or better than they do members of their own family, that’s just an odd phenomenon. But I mean, I wouldn’t say it was a bad thing. It’s an interesting thing.
284
The Real World‘ perfectly captured the politically correct, multicultural zeitgeist of the 1990s, and it was exhilarating to be at the center of a pop culture phenomenon.
285
286
287
The most disastrous phenomenon of the current situation is the factor that imperialism is employing for its own ends all the powers of the proletariat, all of its institutions and weapons, which its fighting vanguard has created for its war of liberation.
288
The food being presented at the most expensive restaurants, by the most sophisticated chefs, was not always recognizable as food to the diner – it required a leap of faith, and I felt curious about that phenomenon.
289
It’s a human phenomenon that there has to be a reason for everything. There almost never is.
290
291
No one could have predicted the cultural phenomenon ‘Twilight’ has become.
292
293
There is nothing odder than to apply an analytical device to a synthetic phenomenon: for instance, to write in English about a Russian poet.
294
I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.
295
In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.
296
I think that’s the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there’s not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.
297
298
299
This whole phenomenon of the computer in a library is an amazing thing.
300
The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.
301
Perhaps ‘Big Bang‘ fans feel so protective of the show because it is, despite being a hit show on a big network, something of a word-of-mouth phenomenon.
302
Kim and I have been friends for a long time. I’ve seen how things have played out behind the scenes. She’s come a long way and she’s a strong woman. The fact that she goes to Australia and twenty thousand people show up to a mall to see her is incredible. She’s become an around the world phenomenon.
303
