“It's curious how this parallels what goes on in academia. In academic fields like cultural studies, there's a lot of emphasis placed on finding and celebrating instances of audience "counter-hegemony" or audience "agency" instances of people not acting in the way that TV or the culture industry tells them to - the idea being that people really do have free will.”
Thomas Frank
“There's a parallel between the killing fields of the slave ships ... and the killing fields of the Super Dome.”
Cornel West
“When I started studying him, then became semi-obsessed with him, I saw the parallels, ... In our ages, that we're both artists, in the price that's paid for going after something with complete focus, with blinders on. And the discovery that what you wish for most probably won't bring you happiness.”
Philip Seymour Hoffman
“I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.”
Douglas MacArthur
“None but himself can be his parallel.”
Virgil
“The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world. Manifest in each of us, She can be known internally by every indivdual, in all her magnificent diversity.”
Starhawk
“Coaches always look for parallels. There are some similarities, and we'll try to draw from that.”
