Dada Dada Dada, a roaring of tense colors, and interlacing of opposites and of all contradictions, grotesques, inconsistencies: LIFE.

Tristan Tzara

My daughter's first sentence was, 'Dada no hair.' And I was, like, 'No Jasmine, Dada does have hair, Dada just shaves his head.'

Nigel Barker

Dada is not modern at all, it is rather a return to a quasi-Buddhist religion of indifference. Dada puts an artificial sweetness onto things, a snow of butterflies coming out of a conjurer's skull. Dada is stillness and does not understand the passions.

Tristan Tzara

I have made decisions based from purely an actor's point of view.

Jessica Lange

I take a biocentric point of view. I look at things from the point of view of the Earth and the laws of ecology. As opposed to the anthropocentric point of view, where everything revolves around humanity.

Paul Watson

To make a poem, take one newspaper, one pair of scissors, snip the words one by one and put them in a bag. Shake gently, draw them out at random, and copy them conscientiously... DADA est mort. DADA est idiot. Vive DADA!

Tristan Tzara

From a high-tech point of view, an agriculture point of view, a goods-and-services point of view, a great deal of [committee Democrats] have no choice except to support allowing America access to these markets.

Charles Rangel

From a purely positivist point of view, man is the most mysterious and disconcerting of all the objects met with by science.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

But every point of view is a point of blindness: it incapacitates us for every other point of view. From a certain point of view, the room in which I write has no door. I turn around. Now I see the door, but the room has no window. I look up. From this point of view, the room has no floor. I look down; it has no ceiling. By avoiding particular points of view we are able to have an intuition of the whole. The ideal for a Christian is to become holy, a word which derives from “whole.

Richard Wurmbrand

Next comes the realist phase ("After all, from a purely geometrical point of view a cat is only a tube with a door at the top.")

Terry Pratchett

It gives liberty and breadth to thought, to learn to judge our own epoch from the point of view of universal history, history from the point of view of geological periods, geology from the point of view of astronomy.

Henri Frederic Amiel

I've always been a big proponent of point of view in cinema. Not necessarily that the point of view has to be subjective, but that in all great films the point of view has been taken into account and established.

John Hyams

Invest your money in Dada! Dada is the only savings bank that pays interest in the hereafter!

Kurt Schwitters

My point of view when I make a book or I make a movie is to see the humanistic point of view. The point of view of the daily life of normal people.

Marjane Satrapi

The Japanese had, in fact, already sued for peace. The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military point of view, in the defeat of Japan.

Chester W. Nimitz

From a purely entertainment point of view, to create a movie with a female lead that is empowered with her own sexuality I think is a really powerful thing.

Ashton Kutcher
