viewpoint quotes

• The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together. (Hannah Arendt) [normal/viewpoint/more]
• Movies are one of the bad habits that corrupted our century. Of their many sins, I offer as the worst their effect on the intellectual side of the nation. It is chiefly from that viewpoint I write of them -- as an eruption of trash that has lamed the American mind and retarded Americans from becoming a cultured people. (Ben Hecht) [viewpoint/mind/people]
• Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint -- Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate. The fact of the matter is that most of the problems that we now face are technical problems, are administrative problems. They are very sophisticated judgments, which do not lend themselves to the great sort of passionate movements which have stirred this country so often in the past. [They] deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men. (John F. Kennedy) [viewpoint/abstinence/matter/face]
• The maze ... was such a mind-altering and life-changing experience. ... My gosh, I mean for something that's pretend it changes your viewpoint on life. (John Travolta) [experience/changes/viewpoint/life]
• “I do have a certain technique [that] varies from part to part because everybody is different. But I don't want to have a viewpoint in terms of fame or [being a] leading man. I feel like I'm on a certain path as far as my technique and I'm trying to get better and better and better.” (Giovanni Ribisi) [viewpoint/fame/path]
• I wanted to write something from a child's viewpoint... Five of the characters I have played in movies have either been abused or became abusers, themselves, and I just kind of felt like there was a need. (Meg Tilly) [viewpoint]
