Being a part of the ‘Twilight‘ phenomenon was life-changing; there is a whole other world of ‘Twilight’ fandom!

Taken as a whole, Europe‘s share of world output is projected to fall by almost a third in the next two decades. This is the competitiveness challenge – and much of our weakness in meeting it is self-inflicted. Complex rules restricting our labour markets are not some naturally occurring phenomenon.
Happiness is a real, objective phenomenon, scientifically verifiable. That means people and whole societies can now be measured over time and compared accurately with one another. Causes and cures for unhappiness can be quantified.
I’m getting TV coverage just about everywhere as they compare the ‘Bob Sapp phenomenon’ to the biggest thing from Pokemon to Godzilla.
‘Boardwalk‘ begins literally on the first day of Prohibition, which I think was a wonderful way to start – to have the story kind of come out of this massive historical phenomenon. And the more I researched the ’20s, the more I discovered just how interesting it was.
I actually am grateful for Freddy Krueger, because the big surprise to me – with that sort of double punch of science fiction TV series and then the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ phenomenon – was that I got an international celebrity out of it.
Human freedom is not an illusion; it is an objective phenomenon, distinct from all other biological conditions and found in only one species – us.
Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently – the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs ‘good tricks.’
Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.
For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can’t in larger projects.

When you’re really young, dating girls, and trying to explain Kiss, they just look at you like you’re kind of crazy.

Contagion has become very much a phenomenon, and it’s a phenomenon of globalization.

Walking down the street in any town or city in the world and having people look at you and start talking to you, convinced that they know you as well or better than they do members of their own family, that’s just an odd phenomenon. But I mean, I wouldn’t say it was a bad thing. It’s an interesting thing.

If I’m a phenomenon, it makes me feel like I have no purpose.
We had a few tragic accidents in our state, as they’ve had in every state, from train crashes on down. And really, no text is worth dying for; that is our message to young people.

I don’t relate to the ‘Twilight’ books or movies at all, but I’m obsessed with it as a pop culture phenomenon – all these people just screaming like it was the Beatles.
The natural phenomenon of the universe is so mind-blowing, but you have to know about it. You have to be curious. You’ve got to find it on your own. If you’re lucky, you do.
The simplest and most psychologically satisfying explanation of any observed phenomenon is that it happened that way because someone wanted it to happen that way.
We tend to think of our selves as the only wholly unique creations in nature, but it is not so. Uniqueness is so commonplace a property of living things that there is really nothing at all unique about it. A phenomenon can’t be unique and universal at the same time.

Just because you’re a star on television doesn’t mean that you can be a music phenomenon or an artist. You have to have the material to back it, and it’s all about hit songs. I can name you every ‘Idol‘ winner and why they didn’t go on to have success – their songs. The ones who have – their songs.
In every single culture I encountered, there were always women who defied cultural norms to do what they believed was right for them. This phenomenon has never been related to how rich, poor, successful or not successful the woman may be.
It’s just amazing to do something that’s part of a pop culture phenomenon.
Modernism has a reputation for being a forbidding phenomenon: its visual arts disconcertingly non-representational, its literary efforts devoid of the consolations of plot and character – even its films, it’s argued, fall well short of that true desideratum: entertainment.
Men killing other men really is an extraordinary phenomenon. Why does it happen? And how long has it gone on? And have the motives changed?

For me, I guess the main motivation is the satisfaction of finally understanding some tricky mathematical concept or phenomenon and then explaining it to others.
I will be the first to admit that getting votes and getting an audience are two different things. For example, a politician really can’t be elected if he’s hated by half the people. A talk show host, however, can be an overwhelming national phenomenon while being hated by half the people.
Advertising is, actually, a simple phenomenon in terms of economics. It is merely a substitute for a personal sales force – an extension, if you will, of the merchant who cries aloud his wares.

What ‘Strong Island’ does is bring a historical perspective and help people understand that what we’re treating as a modern-day phenomenon is actually not modern. It’s actually quite old.

I would have gone right ahead but the only thing, the only phenomenon that’s going on now of course, which is different in my experiences, is that you are getting things planted in the Net by people about the Woman in White on the Net. That’s not a nice change.
As much as they deny it, I think people want to be scared. It’s a phenomenon, why people want to be scared when there is so much violence and craziness in the world. People still really enjoy being scared. It’s a conundrum to me. It’s hard to explain. It’s an unconscious thing, really, why people like that so much.
Five or ten years ago, when it was clear the Internet was becoming a mainstream phenomenon, it was equally clear that a lot of people were being left out and could be left behind.

I grew up in Northern Ireland, in the middle of nowhere, and when you are poor, you are really poor. And when you are rich, you are very rich. This is not a new phenomenon.

It was a phenomenon I noticed many years ago. Young people were just giving up every bit of information about themselves they could.
To say that Jimmy Carter does not understand politics or is not a good politician denies the phenomenon by which he got to the White House. He is without question the best politician, when he’s working at it, of anybody I have ever seen.

‘The Producers‘ is a sort of a once in a lifetime kind of phenomenon, and I was grateful to be a part of it.
It’s hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.

‘French Women Don’t Get Fat‘ has become something of a phenomenon.

I feel more like an environmentalist since I’ve been up here. There are parts of the Earth that are covered with pollution all the time. I saw weather that was unexpected. Storms bigger than we’ve seen in the past. This is a human effect. This is not a natural phenomenon.
Leonardo DiCaprio is a rare phenomenon. Whereas for so many celebrities an interest in the environment is a fashionable accessory, for DiCaprio it is a thread that runs through everything he does.

‘The Walking Dead’ do such a great job with that world. It is real, but it’s also otherworldly; it’s strangely theatrical, and I suddenly did become quite invested in the whole zombie phenomenon.
Have you ever heard of the book ‘Freakonomics?’ So there’s these two economics professors, and they’re really interesting guys, and they wrote these books. And it’s really all about sort of false thinking. They try to go in and look at a number of different phenomenon.
Kim and I have been friends for a long time. I’ve seen how things have played out behind the scenes. She’s come a long way and she’s a strong woman.

As soon as you forbid something, you make it extraordinarily appealing. You also bring shame in as a phenomenon.

I’m over here with the French counterterrorism experts talking about the ‘Charlie Hebdo’ case, how we can stop foreign fighters from coming out of Iraq and Syria to Europe, but then we have this phenomenon in the United States where they can be activated by the Internet, and, really, terrorism has gone viral.

Back home, the Iron Bowl isn’t just a football game, it’s a phenomenon.

Nobody could have imagined the phenomenon that ‘Star Trek’ became. It’s still almost impossible to imagine.

Photographic memory is often confused with another bizarre – but real – perceptual phenomenon called eidetic memory, which occurs in between 2 and 15 percent of children and very rarely in adults. An eidetic image is essentially a vivid afterimage that lingers in the mind’s eye for up to a few minutes before fading away.
The study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon.
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Ronaldo was a phenomenon, but Zizou had something apart. Playing alongside him was a crazy thing! Supporters arrived earlier at the Bernabeu just to see him warm-up!

Social media is here to stay, and the social phenomenon that is bringing this about is consumers‘ willingness to share more about themselves, share more about what they’re doing… people are even willing to disclose where they’re at. And this phenomenon is going to create huge commerce opportunities on the web.
I’ve long been interested in the tale-within-a-tale phenomenon. I’m familiar with many tales which use this framework or the device of many people in one place, telling their stories, or multiple storytellers commenting on each others’ stories with their own.
I sense that the sea of smart phones lit up at concerts is a temporary phenomenon. The integration of technology, sharing, and social into our physical world, on the other hand, well, that ain’t going away.

Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.
For most of human history, there was a ruling class and then there was everybody else. If you were part of everybody else, it wasn’t your job to imagine a different future, different ways of doing things. So, imagination is a fairly modern phenomenon.
Healing and miracles have been a mystery to men of all times. To some, the phenomenon is frightening, while others find it exhilarating.
The cultural value of ‘Gossip Girl’ was this interesting question. Sure, it seemed to have been a worldwide, cultural phenomenon for some time. And, yes, anywhere I go, I do get recognized. At the same time, it also lacked the kind of importance that people might anticipate.
It’s a very strange phenomenon being hated by people you’ve never met. Some journalists just seem to hate me and everything I do, and it’s disconcerting because I’ve never met this person.
People will say, ‘I really don’t like romance,’ or, ‘I don’t read it – at all!’ So how do they know? Weirdly, I think that the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey‘ phenomenon introduced women to romance who would never have read it. And that means that they then go on to read my books, and that would be great.
Giving a phenomenon a label does not explain it.
The first ‘Star Wars‘ movie had come out in 1977 and had become this huge phenomenon with all the toys and everything – it just kind of swept America. But internationally, it was also a big deal.
The idea of literalism in the Bible is a very new phenomenon. In many ways, it’s a product of the scientific revolution.
I keep trying to understand the phenomenon of why adults are so literal when children are so imaginative. Toys are a caricature of reality.
For me, Mr. T and Donald Trump are the same sort of phenomenon – they’re guys with catchphrases and wacky hair.
The whole Twitter phenomenon is really indicative of what’s happening in this country. And I say this in condemnation of myself as much as anyone else – we are growing into a nation that has no time, desire or capacity for truth. All we can handle is 140 characters of knowledge.
Value is consequently the necessary theoretical starting point whence we can elucidate the peculiar phenomenon of prices resulting from capitalist competition.
To be sure, the hard-to-come-by interview – the ‘get’ – isn’t an uncommon phenomenon here at ‘The Daily Show.’ We’ve had high-profile dignitaries, low-profile indignitaries, stars you’ve heard of, authors you should have read.
The ‘Sisters‘ phenomenon was a byproduct of the ‘Trainwreck’ deal. I had to do the normal auditioning process for ‘Trainwreck’. I was extremely nervous for it, because you plan for this one event, and you get the opportunity.
The world may not be ready yet for the film equivalent of books on tape, but this peculiar phenomenon has arrived in the form of the film adaptation of J. K. Rowling‘s ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.’
It’s a funny thing, ‘The Office,’ because millions and millions and millions and millions of people didn’t watch it. But culturally, it is more of a phenomenon than almost anything else I can remember as far as British television is concerned.
There are too many remakes, too many reimaginings. Nothing new, and that’s always a bad sign. They remade ‘Frankenstein‘ 26 times between 1930 and 1970, so it’s not a new phenomenon.
I don’t think anyone can ever predict a phenomenon. It’s not something you can bank on.
Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.
K-pop itself is not just a music genre, but a whole cultural phenomenon.

The three-body problem is a term borrowed from physics. It is a phenomenon that can basically be explained like this: Two objects in space can interact in a predictable fashion rotating around each other due to their gravitational pull. But if a third object is introduced, it makes their interaction more complicated.
As a species, we’re addicted to the facile discrimination involved in saying that something or phenomenon is either ‘this’ or ‘that’ – how much more uncomfortable that it may well be ‘the other’.
America’s state religion, is patriotism, a phenomenon which has convinced many of the citizenry that ‘treason‘ is morally worse than murder or rape.
I don’t believe that we evolved moral psychology; it just doesn’t seem plausible to me as a biological phenomenon.
For X-rays, the phenomenon of diffraction by crystals was a natural consequence of the idea that X-rays are waves analogous to light and differ from it only by having a smaller wavelength.
Circumstance has no value. It is how one relates to a situation that has value. All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon… what it means to you.
The selfie phenomenon is enormous, and it’s hilarious. Especially as Australians, because we kind of hate people that love themselves, but that’s all flipping on its head now, and we’re happy to love ourselves.
Culture relates to objects and is a phenomenon of the world; entertainment relates to people and is a phenomenon of life.
What a wonderful phenomenon it is, carefully considered, when the human eye, that jewel of organic structures, concentrates its moist brilliance on another human creature!

By 2050, seven out of ten people will live in cities, which will account for six billion people living in urban areas. That phenomenon is central to all the challenges humanity faces. If there is an issue to be addressed, then it is certainly happening in cities and therefore must be considered on an urban scale.
People have always had a fascination with the supernatural going back to the beginning of time and with vampires in particular. This phenomenon is not new.
When it comes to explaining the phenomenon of right-wing populism, liberals are likely to argue both that the populist era has exposed a darkness always present at the heart of conservative politics and that a toxic, post-truth new-media ecosystem has greased the skids for President Trump, Brexit and the rest.
The phenomenon of ‘Transformers‘ itself is mind-shaking, you know?
