The more films we make the more we get to deal with those pre-existing relationships.

I think previously, when fathers and sons argued with each other, they would still face each other and face each other's feelings, but now, the relationships between people has become much more abstracted.

I love existing in pre big bang conditions. — Joe Rogan
University, as institutions, pre-date the information economy by many centuries and are not for-profit cultural entities, whose reason of existence (purportedly) is to discover truth, codify it through techniques of scholarship, and then teach it.

With movement, families get split. With the politicization of religion, spirituality gets diluted. With people intermarrying and falling in love outside of pre-existing defined groups, the tribe is disappearing.

So finding a way to make transience more acceptable, even beautiful is key. — Mohsin Hamid
If you don't question you're stuck within a pre-existing parameters of knowledge. Questions are what take you outside of those parameters. — Neil deGrasse Tyson
Same-gender attraction did not exist in the pre-earth life and neither will it exist in the next life. It is a circumstance that for whatever reason or reasons seems to apply right now in mortality, in this nano-second of our eternal existence. — Lance B. Wickman

One of the things we've learned during the Obama era is how important norms are, because we've seen how the Republican Party behaved against Obama.

I don't know that a movie like Doctor Strange couldn't have been the second or third film we made. I don't think we're doing anything in that requires past viewing, as opposed to Civil War which we wouldn't have done as the first or second movie because so much of that film is based on the pre-existing relationships between the characters. — Kevin Feige
It becomes a cannibalization of your pre-existing economy — John Warren Kindt

In ethics, we don't make progress by discovering pre-existent truths; we do so by solving problems. — Philip Kitcher
There is a pre-existing harmony in everything. The problem is the human being. It may be true that one single Incarnation of God may not he able to bring that peace and harmony in the entire world.

Otherwise, things could be much worse. — Mata Amritanandamayi
There's something really special for a young person to sit in an audience and discover somebody, and it's rare to do because so much of a movie's economics are based on pre-existing actors or actresses. — Craig Brewer
But I do think that, when you slow the conveyor belt down, the quality control tends to go up. You have a lot more time between seasons to talk about what worked and what didn't work, and plan for the future. And the pacing of the storytelling, particularly for on-going serialized dramas, means that you don't need to do non-essential episodes, just because you have to fill this pre-existing schedule. — Damon Lindelof
In a way I am saying the nation-state doesn't exist, borders don't exist, you can try going anywhere. It is a kind of pre-Internet consensus I always had in me. — Aleksandra Mir
