Writing I'm convinced should be a subversive activity - frowned on by the authorities - and not one cooed over and praised beyond common sense by some teacher.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.

Remember I come from such an excessively overdone red-carpet place called Hollywood. So I'm used to people blowing up their success in ways that are far above and beyond the truth.

Success should always be just beyond your grasp.

An organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan.

The swimmer adrift on the open seas measures his strength and strives with all his muscles to keep himself afloat. But what is he to do when there is no land on the horizon and none beyond it?

One cannot weep for the entire world it is beyond human strength. One must choose.

Our firm conviction that ours is a just cause and that we must find a peaceful way to attain our goals gave us the strength and the awareness of the limits beyond which we must not go.

It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.

True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life through devotion to something beyond himself.

Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.

Because your own strength is unequal to the task do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man but if anything is within the powers and province of man believe that it is within your own compass also.

Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society.

People are going to behave however the social norms permit and beyond that.

When you're walking down the street or you're at a restaurant someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they're wearing - into their mannerisms the way they smile or just the way they hold themselves.

I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins as is Dave beyond Ghostbusters.

Even in our day science suspects beyond the Polar seas at the very circle of the Arctic Pole the existence of a sea which never freezes and a continent which is ever green.

Beyond that I seem to be compelled to write science fiction rather than fantasy or mysteries or some other genre more likely to climb onto bestseller lists even though I enjoy reading a wide variety of literature both fiction and nonfiction.

A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If as some evidence suggests exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life studying them could revolutionise biology medicine and biotechnology.

We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow between science and superstition.

With out art without communicating we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed.

When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy today they peer beyond the seven seas bury themselves waist deep in tidings and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad.

Of course the plea for respect for nonhuman life goes far beyond the scientific delight of familiarity with our planet mates. The nonhuman forms of life with which we 6 000 million talking upright apes share this finite planet are directly or indirectly connected to our well-being.
