In essence, the Thai people are not materialistic at all. They're not in the least driven by the kind of ambition that drives us. The more I got to know them, and the more time I spent with them, the more I understood that this was a totally legitimate attitude to life, and why not?

John Burdett

Sometimes you're not blessed with the materialistic stuff but you're blessed with a work ethic.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

I know we live in a materialistic world. I am not living on Cloud Nine; I am not living in Disneyland. I understand all that.

Adnan Sami

Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff.

Agyness Deyn

All man's failures are either because of the religious denial of man's biological needs or the materialistic denial of man's spiritual desires.

Alija Izetbegovic

There are only three integral views of the world: the religious, the materialistic, and the Islamic. They reflect three elemental possibilities (conscience, nature, and man), each of them manifesting itself as Christianity, materialism, and Islam.

Alija Izetbegovic

Weak and oppressed nations are fundamentally spiritual; strong nations are, as a rule, chiefly materialistic.

Ameen Rihani

I don't think I am that materialistic, actually. Obviously at home in the country the art collection is important, but we have one big room in the middle of the house where we do everything - the television, the kitchen, everything.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

The last time I saw my mom was in 1997. My mom started getting sick, and my mom finally passed away in 2002. My mom was my world. My mom was everything to me. We didn't have money. We didn't have a whole lot of materialistic things, but one thing I can truly say, that my mother loved me and all of her children unconditionally.

Anthony Ray Hinton

Hip-hop is just bombarded with a lot of materialistic stuff. When a group like us with more creativity comes out, I think it will make some kind of change.

apl.de.ap

I'm so unmaterialistic in every way. If you saw my apartment, it would explain a lot, I think. It's not so much a mess, but it just needs to have some feng shui or a real 'Queer Eye' makeover or whatever.

Ariel Pink

In these days of our new materialistic Irish state, poetry will have a harder, less picturesque task. But the loss of Yeats and all that boundless activity, in a country where the mind is feared and avoided, leaves a silence which it is painful to contemplate.

Austin Clarke

I would say I don't like people who are really into themselves or are very materialistic. Just always talking themselves up. Not being real is the pet peeve. Be true to yourself.

Austin Stowell

I don't believe in materialistic gifts and grand gestures.

Barun Sobti

When we analyze this war in a materialistic way and ask when is it going to end and who will be the winner and the loser, it means that we do not see the endgame.

Bashar al-Assad

That materialistic life, that's not my god.

Bernard Hopkins

The great question of our time is, 'Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or by spiritual power?'

Billy Graham

The adornment of the body is a human need. I don't see anything superficial about it unless your life becomes very materialistic.

David LaChapelle

Poets are always making waves. I mean, you know, in an ideal situation, the ideal republic can't tolerate poets because - it isn't that they mutter and criticize; it is that the poet does not accept the situation called the 'perfect' condition of man - in other words, perfect in the materialistic sense.

Derek Walcott

'Station to Station' came out of a sense of urgency - a sense that culture, be it art, film or architecture, has become so compartmentalised. For this project, we wanted to break that and create a language that is more nomadic and less materialistic and really empowering for the creators and the audience.

Doug Aitken

I'm not a very materialistic person.

Dwane Casey
