Only cinema narrows its concern down to its content, that is to its story. It should, instead, concern itself with its form, its structure.

Peter Greenaway

Compare mathematics and the political sciences - it's quite striking. In mathematics, in physics, people are concerned with what you say, not with your certification. But in order to speak about social reality, you must have the proper credentials, particularly if you depart from the accepted framework of thinking. Generally speaking, it seems fair to say that the richer the intellectual substance of a field, the less there is a concern for credentials, and the greater is the concern for content.

Noam Chomsky

A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.--What was that god thinking who counseled, "Know thyself!" Did he perhaps mean,"Cease to concern yourself! Become objective!"--And Socrates?--And "scientific men"?

Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm particularly struck by the neo-socialist concern for the well-being of plants, animals, lakes and rivers, rain forests and deserts - particularly when the concern for the environment appears far more intense than the concern for the human family.

Robert Sirico

I have great concern, but my concern is probably not what most people would think it would be.My concern is why is our faith being targeted as part of this inquiry when there are laws on the books and there is legal jurisdiction any time there is abuse in financial handling?

Paula White

According to [the Bible], a leader is first and foremost a servant. His concern is not for himself; his concern is not to give orders, to boss other people around, to have his own way. His concern is to meet the needs of others.

Wayne Mack

The creator's concern is the conquest of nature. The parasite's concern is the conquest of men.

Ayn Rand

Instead of physicists teaching physics, physicists should go home and see what physics applies to their home.

Bill Mollison

Whenever I want to represent or depict the official version, I will refer to them as 'mathematicians' or 'mathematical physicists' or idiots or something like that. There are no physicists in mainstream 'Physics.' From Newton to Einstein to Hawking, they are all just mathematicians as far as Science and Physics are concerned.

Bill Gaede

It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name - modern slavery.

Barack Obama

And when you're a coach your main concern is the players and the coaches. The last concern you have is really about yourself.

Herm Edwards

I said the first concern of the administration of justice must, of course, be the individual. The second concern is the truth.

Elliot Richardson

A subject which at first glance seems quite removed from the undeclared concern of the book can encapsulate that concern.

W. G. Sebald

The purpose of my life had always been to free people from concern. I dubbed it, 'The church of freedom from concern,' or 'FFC.

Jim Carrey

Governments have a legitimate concern with slowing population growth. But often this has been attempted with little concern for the individuals most affected.

Ruth Simmons

Charitable endeavour exalts the prestige and the status of the giver. This may sound unduly cynical but as with all philantrophic activity, it is not easy to unravel the mutually reinforcing motives of selflessness and self-interest. All that can safely be said is that most members of the royal family have difficulty distinguishing between concern about society, concern about the social order and concern about what best to do so they can remain at the top of it.
