I felt that from my end, I should deal with the thing itself, which is the event. I pretty much functioned like the media itself.

Garry Winogrand

When I started acting, I thought everything should be issue-based and that there should be a helpline at the end of every program.

Jason Isaacs

Acting, for me, is not an end in itself. It's more a means to asking the questions I'm obsessed with about life.

Kerry Bishe

Growing up, I was encouraged to get a good education, get a real job doing something I enjoyed, and, should the opportunity present itself, consider public service as just that: a chance to serve, not an end in itself.

John Sununu

A story is an end in itself. It is not written to teach, sell, explain or destroy anything. It is not written even to entertain. It is written as a man is born - an organic whole, dictated only by its own laws and its own necessity - an end in itself, not a means to an end.

Ayn Rand

Kimon Nicolaides

There was a time when I only wanted to show off, but as I've grown older, I've realised that acting isn't an end in itself. You act to communicate something, and if you have to use an accent or become thin or fat, that's part of your job.

Naseeruddin Shah

Education [is] not an end in itself but [is] the first step in a progress which should continue during a lifetime.

Caroline Pratt

The end of poetry is not to create a physical condition which shall give pleasure to the mind... The end of poetry is not an after-effect, not a pleasurable memory of itself, but an immediate, constant and even unpleasant insistence upon itself.
