Certainly almost everything we do and think is colored in some way by memes, but it is important to realize that not everything we experience is a meme. If I walk down the street and see a tree, the basic perception that’s going on is not memetic. – Susan Blackmore

I’m more interested in the meaning of funerals and the mourning that people do. It’s not a retail experience. It’s an existential one. – Thomas Lynch
I think early on in my career, I was heavily inspired by bands like Throbbing Gristle and Test Dept, and films of David Lynch, for example, where the soundscape plays a very important role in the listening experience. – Trent Reznor
The existence of inherent limits of experience in no way settles the question about the subordination of facts of the human world to our knowledge of matter. – Wilhelm Dilthey

When it comes to the ratings, I don’t know what the rating system is. So when it comes to me, I’ve learned, with the little experience that I have, that when I feel really good about a movie in the editing room, it works. And when I’ve felt like a movie wasn’t working, it didn’t work. – Tim Story
