Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes

Momentum,' She repeats. 'You can't just stand there if you want something to fly. You have to run.

I figured it out eventually," she says. She's sitting on the edge of the gurney again; her features slowly materialize as my vision clears. "It's momentum." "What?" I whisper. The feeling returning to my lips, spreading out to my fingertips and toes. "Momentum," she repeats. "You can't just stand there if you want something to fly. You have to run.

I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them, because generally it's more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time, and that's all clever stuff.

Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.

Any schoolboy could see that man as a force must be measured by motion, from a fixed point.

How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.

Not all speed is movement.

Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except insofar as it doesn't.

Thus far we run before the wind.

It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics?

I guess I'm fascinated with motion because I find that whenever anything is moving, I have some feeling about it. It doesn't matter what kind of motion it is. A motion will always evoke some kind of reaction.

An object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.

I'm like a rocket - I go a hundred miles per hour.

Playgrounds are essentially machines to induce Newtonian physics on our own bodies.

Resistance is usually ascribed to bodies at rest, and impulse to those in motion, but motion and rest, as commonly conceived, are only relatively distinguished; nor are those bodies always truly at rest, which commonly are taken to be so.

The slow-motion replay doesn't show how fast the ball was really travelling.

So much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy, and to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil.

Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia; all force tends to persist.

The universe is composed of matter, and, as a system, is sustained by motion. Motion is not a property of matter, and without this motion the solar system could not exist.

It is indeed a law of politics as well as of physics, that a body in action must overcome a body at rest.

My qualities are more when I move around and use my speed.

A point of rest alone explains motion.

And I feel faster than the speeding light.

If your position is everywhere, your momentum is zero.

I like racing. I love the speed and I'm a very kinetic person in terms of filmmaking. I love the movement of film more than anything else.
