It's very unusual. It's proverb

 It's very unusual. It's an allegory, basically. There are a lot of layers of meaning. It's a story about living and being a human being.

 I wanted it to be a story about human beings escaping imprisonment. It sounds very pretentious, but it's a rite-of-passage story that isn't just about America, but about human beings living together.

 Wherever you come near the human race there's layers and layers of nonsense.
  Thornton Wilder

 Why, ever since Adam, who has got to the meaning of this great allegory / the world? Then we pygmies must be content to have out paper allegories but ill comprehended.

 Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story -- a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.
  Eric Hoffer

 In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
  Steve Jobs

 We're finding abundant evidence for alteration of rocks in a water environment. What we want to do is figure out which layers were on top of which other layers. To do that it has been helpful to keep climbing for good views of how the layers are tilted to varying degrees. Understanding the sequence of layers is equivalent to having a deep drill core from drilling beneath the plains.

 So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
  Aaron Copland

 A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive.

 What I wanted people to recognize is that racism is in all of us, in layers. Some in more layers than others. It's not just the Klan guy and the black-fist guy, and it's about peeling away those layers.

 Things are not what they seem…Social reality turns out to have many layers of meaning.

 We deeply regret Sen. Frist's endorsement of an embryonic stem cell research policy that would turn living human beings into commodities for exploitation. ... Treating living human embryos as mere fodder for experimentation crosses a vital ethical line and contravenes the sanctity of human life.

 A real parish is a wondrously beautiful web of human relationship which is given meaning by the man who is Himself the meaning of life.

 You had 10 different layers to the story. All the planets were aligned that day.

 I think it could definitely be disturbing. It's taken the central theme and it's definitely the same story, but the elements of the book have been changed quite a lot. It's still set 30 years in the future and the conceit is still the same, that no one has had a baby anywhere for eighteen years and our reluctant hero has ended up linked with the only pregnant girl on the planet. That's still the same, but Alfonso's done a really fascinating, unusual exploration of where things could be going, and that's still very, very strong in the movie. It's a very unusual take. People are assuming it's a sci-fi movie but it's almost the opposite of that. It's like now, but worse. It's the environment we're living in. It's not futuristic. It's like things have not ended up that great and we're in a world where there are no children, which is a pretty bleak place. Half the movie's a chase movie, really, but it's in a really extraordinary vision of the future.

 My mother's husband died when I was 4, and I thought he was my dad until I was 15 and found out that my legal guardian was my real dad. He kind of acted like my dad, anyway. But he wasn't with my mother living at home with us. It's an unusual kind of story, but it was cool because I had two dads for a while, and it was useful in creating the character in the movie.
