Your Timeline Quotes

I'm deeply interested in the photograph as a record of an encounter and enjoy putting myself in a timeline of image-makers, alongside other travelers, such as anthropologists, colonists, missionaries, even tourists.

The hi-tech industry is not a monolithic thing. If you look on a timeline of a company, you see that in the beginning, you have to come up with an idea and to be willing to take risk. You have to grow fast, you have to think fast, and you have to do this usually in small teams. — Yossi Vardi

Everyone's path is completely different. I could give an aspiring artist my timeline and every phone number and contact person along the way, but their experience would be carved out in a different way.

It's also important to know why you are doing this... attention, money, or because you got something to say, or at least in what order those things matter. — Elizabeth Cook
Our band doesn't like pressure or timelines. We like to be in a casual environment where everyone is happy with their surroundings. It's not like being in Brooklyn - if you're somewhere beautiful like upstate, you can walk outside to take a moment. It's a big part of our functioning. — Daniel Rossen
I can't imagine here would be a Chinese Gorbachev. But the party will gradually open up. For instance, it has already set a time limit for political reforms in Hong Kong. And in four years time, there won't be a strongman to name the General Secretary at the party congress. That means that the various factions will have to develop better rules for naming their leader. But there won't be a timeline for political reform. — Liu Xiaobo
There really is not any difference between any of us, because we're only talking about the difference of one moment in time between remembering. We can't judge what's right for each individual, because each person will get what they are ready for within the moment that are presented during that timeline process. — Christine McCormick Day

There is a lot of music out there that you can play side by side and you can't hear the personality - that has a timeline on it, for sure. — Skrillex
We're at a point nowhere it has to change. We have characters that are not alive that are alive in the book. We have characters that never appeared in the book.

But there's so much in the book, stuff we've passed in the timeline that I really thought was awesome, that I really wanted to get to. — Scott M. Gimple
