George Stevens

I was fascinated by all of it. The sounds of the theater and the audience, their rapture when a play took over and moved them and held them quietly... When the audience was truly moved, it was absolutely quiet. They were in a communion because they were learning the truth about themselves.

American Director

John Tavener

I used to think there was something dirty about being paid for something which is a sacred thing to do. I can't disconnect the act of writing music from the act of prayer. If anyone tries to stop me working, it feels like someone is trying to stop me from taking communion.

British Composer

Ted Hughes

Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self.

English Poet

Paul Weller

Music is the most natural thing in the world. When we go to a gig and we all like it and we share that experience, it's the same sense of communion as a sacred rite in Borneo or wherever it may be; it just gets dressed up different. Its good for the soul.

English Musician

Kimberly Elise

It's funny because I never studied, I never took a class. So everything I do is very innate and organic; I don't really have words for it. It is a communion with spirit. I don't get in my own way and allow the character to do what it's going to do.

American Actress

Denis Villeneuve

I was at the premiere of 'Prisoners,' and I heard two thousand people scream at the same time. I turned to my wife and said, 'I love cinema!' It's the sharing of emotions together, and it's collective. It's one of the last communions we have.

Canadian Director

Lizz Wright

The truth is, when you want a great show, it's not 'entertaining' the audience - it's you sharing with them... an experience of communion.

American Musician

Henri Nouwen

Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.

 Hardin idea of the tragedy of the Commons of measuring the impact that we have had on ecosystems and a lot of the work that I do as I've been explaining it's sort of more about the communion of the Commons what it is that brings us together what it is about our resources that actually unite us one of my favorite women in the entire world dr.

 But when she said it, the phrase seemed all caught up in the excitement of preparations for our first communion and our first confession, and everybody knew that was really all about the white dress and the white veil.
