Quotes about production
Joseph Brodsky -
Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.
Albert Camus -
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Teresa R. Funke - Bursts of Brilliance for a Creative Life blog
Spend one more day in pursuit of art that only you can produce, and somewhere, someone is envying your courage to do just that.
Dada Bhagwan -
The worldly life runs easily due to the egoism which is the by-production of the worldly life. By increasing the egoism there, one has incurred endless worries.
Christina Engela - Bugspray
The original KDF-wagen as it was called was basic and rudimentary, but essentially the same as the later post war production cars that followed. Features of this vehicle included cable operated brakes (!!) and a tiny 800cc flat four motor with a single exhaust, 16 inch tires and the KDF twin glove compartment (without lids) dash.Oh, and last but not least – probably the most famous and sought-after rear window in automotive history!
Michel Foucault -
We must cease once and for all to describe the effects of power in negative terms, it ‘excludes’, it ‘represses’... in fact power produces, it produces reality, it produces domains of objects and rituals of truth.
Jean Baudrillard - Simulacra and Simulation
The only weapon of power, its only strategy against this defection, is to reinject the real and the referential everywhere, to persuade us of the reality of the social, of the gravity of the economy and the finalities of production.
Melissa Silverstein - In Her Voice: Women Directors Talk Directing
One of the common themes you will read in interview after interview is the call to keep fighting for your vision. This is a message to women directors, producers, writers—anyone who wants to work in the business. Your voice counts. Your vision matters.
Peter Joseph -
Everyone is so locked into the current way of doing things, they never see the larger picture or other, more responsible and efficient possibilities. A REAL economy is always wanting to limit consumption/manufacturing as much as possible by assuring the strategically "best" and "adaptable" productions at all times, while keeping balance with human needs and public health.It is a total shift in intent than what we have today.
R.H. Tawney -
So the organisation of society on the basis of functions, instead of on the basis of rights, implies three things. It means, first, that proprietary rights shall be maintained when they are accompanied by the performance of service and abolished when they are not. It means, second, that the producers shall stand in a direct relation to the community for whom production is carried on, so that their responsibility to it may be obvious and unmistakable, not lost, as at present, through their immedi
Mary E. DeMuth - Everything: What You Give and What You Gain to Become Like Jesus
Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.
Jay Abraham - The Sticking Point Solution: 9 Ways to Move Your Business from Stagnation to Stunning Growth InTough Economic Times
Innovation basically involves making obsolete that which you did before.
Jean-François Lyotard - Libidinal Economy
Are we, intellectual sirs, not actively or passively 'producing' more and more words, more books, more articles, ceaselessly refilling the pot-boiler of speech, gorging ourselves on it rather, seizing books and 'experiences', to metamorphose them as quickly as possible into other words, plugging us in here, being plugged in there, just like Mina on her blue squared oilcloth, extending the market and the trade in words of course, but also multiplying the chances of jouissance, scraping up intensi
Sunday Adelaja - spending time or investing time?
Greatness is the quality of time you are able to convert into the production of value.
Seth Godin - Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
If school is about postponing the day you have to stand up in front of the world and put yourself at risk, the resistance would like to stay there forever.
Sunday Adelaja -
Time must be converted into product
Sunday Adelaja -
Every minute, hour and hour that passes daily should be converted into product
Sunday Adelaja -
Human existence is as a result of the product of time
Ludwig von Mises - Liberalism
If one prevents a man from working for the good of society while at the same time providing for the satisfaction of his own needs, then only one way remains open to him: to make himself richer and others poorer by the violent oppression and spoliation of his fellow men.
Walter Benjamin - Illuminations: Essays and Reflections
No more semblance or disemblance, no more God or Man, only an immanent logic of the principle of operativity.
Heinrich Heine -
With his night-cap and his night-shirt tatters,He botches up the loop-holes in the structure of the world.
Sergio de la Pava - A Naked Singularity
Intellectual discourse and investigation is admittedly great fun but only truly meaningful when conducted in the service of others.
Linda Downs -
Rivera’s admiration for Stalin was equaled only by his admiration for Henry Ford. By the 1920s and ‘30s, nearly every industrial country in Europe and Latin America, as well as the Soviet Union, had adopted Ford’s engineering and manufacturing methods: his highly efficient assembly line to increase production and reduce the cost of automobiles, so that the working class could at least afford to own a car; his total control over all the manufacturing and production processes by concentrating them
Lik Hock Yap Ivan -
If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late.
Paul Lafargue - The Right to Be Lazy
Confronted with this double madness of the labourers killing themselves with over-production and vegetating in abstinence, the great problem of capitalist production is no longer to find producers and to multiply their powers but to discover consumers, to excite their appetites and create in them fictitious needs.
Diego Rivera -
Marx made theory... Lenin applied it with his sense of large-scale social organization... And Henry Ford made the work of the socialist state possible.
George MacDonald - Mary Marston
Mary was proud of her husband, not merely because he was a musician, but because he was a blacksmith. For, with the true taste of a right woman, she honored the manhood that could do hard work. The day will come, and may I do something to help it hither, when the youth of our country will recognize that, taken in itself, it is a more manly, and therefore in the old true sense a more _gentle_ thing, to follow a good handicraft, if it make the hands black as a coal, than to spend the day in keepin
Lailah Gifty Akita -
One good product is better than many fake goods.
Karl Marx - The Poverty of Philosophy
Economists have a singular method of procedure. There are only two kinds of institutions for them, artificial and natural. The institutions of feudalism are artificial institutions, those of the bourgeoisie are natural institutions. In this, they resemble the theologians, who likewise establish two kinds of religion. Every religion which is not theirs is an invention of men, while their own is an emanation from God. When the economists say the present-day relations--the relations of bourgeois pr
John Steinbeck - The Log from the Sea of Cortez
It is a rule in paleontology that ornamentation and complication precede extinction. And our mutation, of which the assembly line, the collective farm, the mechanized army, and the mass production of food are evidences or even symptoms, might well correspond to the thickening armor of the great reptiles—a tendency that can end only in extinction. If this should happen to be true, nothing stemming from thought can interfere with it or bend it. Conscious thought seems to have little effect on the
Sunday Adelaja -
Patience is what is needed to see through any process of production.
Sunday Adelaja -
You must be engaged with the process of producing something to expect something.
Rowan Blanchard -
There’s something different about when a female directs versus a male. The level of maturity, mutual respect, and energy that you get from a female director is so different. I’ve worked with male directors who aren’t good, and no one says anything about it, but then we had one female director who was kind of all over the place and everyone complained. It’s so gendered. I feel safer when working with a female director because I know it’s from a female gaze.
Lailah Gifty Akita -
Those who believe in quality produce quality goods.
Sunday Adelaja -
Messages focused on miracle will breed in the mind of people the mentality that production is not necessary for prosperity
Sunday Adelaja -

Sunday Adelaja -
If people are not in the process of production, they don’t deserve anything.
Wendell Berry -
To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.
Elon Musk -
Some companies out there quote a start of production that is substantially in advance of when customers get their cars.
Nick Harkaway -
Amazon is a corporation, not a philanthropic trust dedicated to the production of works of art and literature.
Solange nicole -
Nowadays films and television are what I like to call "Microwave Media". I like mine in the oven, giving the production time to simmer; get the juices flowing, and cooked to perfection. And that takes time. Slow, precious, tempered time. A script is a film's recipe. It's just a piece of paper to the novice cook, but even a recipe needs time to be perfected before it's given to the masses.
Villiers de L'Isle-Adam - L'Ève Future
Consider this: when you stand at the entry to a steel factory, you can make out through the smoke some men, some metal, the fires. The furnaces roar, the hammers crash; and the metalworkers who forge ingots, weapons, tools, and so on are completely ignorant of the real uses to which their products will be put. The workers can only refer to their products by conventional names. Well, that's where we all stand, all of us! Nobody can see the real character of what he creates because every knife bla
André Gunder Frank - World Accumulation 1492-1789
Most economic histories of the "world" not only omit most extra-European production and exchange (even most of that outside West Europe or even northwest Europe); they neglect the participation of the productive and exchange activities of extra-European countries in the European, not to say world, process of accumulation and development. Moreover, they disregard the part that these productive and exchange relations played in the developing world system.
Robert Anton Wilson -
A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production.
Jeff Phillips - Whiskey Pike: A Bedtime Story for the Drinking Mankind.
A beverage of leisure is a serious business,” Shane Bowermaster was known to declare. “There can be no product of pleasure without the inverse on the end of the producer.
Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
Have you ever looked for the root of production? Take a look at an electric generator and dare tell yourself that it was created by the muscular effort of unthinking brutes. Try to grow a seed of wheat without the knowledge left to you by men who had to discover it for the first time. Try to obtain your food by means of nothing but physical motions--and you'll learn that man's mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that has ever existed on earth.
