No bird has ever uttered note That was not in some first bird's throat; Since Eden's freshness and man's fall No rose has been original.
I was the youngest of nine siblings... I lost my father when I was just 13. For me, the elders have been my gods.
My heart has been stolen too - but I've gone and got it back every single time!
Many hard comments have been made on my efforts in India from the side of the Congress party, yet I feel content in the deep conviction that the offer I traveled 22,000 miles to discuss with Indian leaders was a real contribution to a solution of our differences.
I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we're, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality.
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.
People spend a lifetime thinking about how they would really like to live. I asked my friends and no one seems to know very clearly. To me it's very clear now. I wish my life could have been like the years when I was writing 'Love in the Time of Cholera.'
I'm such a lover of golf, and I've been at the Masters a couple times, and I've been so blessed to get to play there.
Congress has been productive when focusing on bites of policy that don't inflame the divisions within the party and quietly do the work of governing.
I have been called brave in my time, but brave as I may have been against foreign invaders, I have no heart to shed Filipino blood.
Look, this job has always been a crucible of conflict.
This union has been divided in like a civil war - brother against brother - sister against sister. And I'm pulling it together. We've already seen evidence of that in New York, in Pennsylvania, in California. The first thing is we have to get on the same page. We have to be united in one cause.
In the more recently disclosed field of history in the ancient Near East, however, there has been no such sense of responsibility displayed by historians either in Europe or America.
The most adventurous I've been was doing Raleigh International when I was 20.
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.
People always tell me, 'Reinvent yourself, re-this, re-whatever.' I haven't reinvented myself. It's an honest evolution. I've always been authentic.
I've been described as impatient.
Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion.
I have a new found respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery.
There's never been any game plan or thread through my career. It's just happened that I've ricocheted from one interesting character to another.
There have been great champions in every generation.
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
We are one of the last heavy metal bands. Iron Maiden has always been unique.
I can't tell you how many times I quit only to realize that when the work has been your life, you don't really have a life without it.
I thought, 'I've been doing this for 16 years professionally. I have a window where I want to play leading parts.'
For the moment and for some time great events have been denied me, forward action not come my way.
When I got into the Beatles, I must have only been about six or seven but old enough to take notice. We used to have an old radiogram which, for readers of a certain age, was like a big cabinet thing with a record player inside it.
I was the deputy Chairman of the Democratic Union of the Pacific, and we started at 8 I think and I was called to the telephone and to be told there's a coup, the government has been overthrown - it was round about 9, 10 when the Parliament sat they had done then.
They came out over the highway and they stopped and that's when Barney got out, with the binoculars to try and identify the craft. I mean, he'd been in the military in World War Two, he's puzzled.
I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.
I have been acting for 32 years now and I feel so lucky to be able to have done exactly what I wanted to do.
I've definitely had times in my life where I've been depressed and not able to do anything at all.
If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void.
I am greatly proud of the fact that 'Doom' is one of those things where everything that has a 32-bit processor has had 'Doom' run on it, and I think that's been one of the great aspects of having it be open source: having everything out there means that people have maintained that and kept it up to date.
It's been a dream for me since I was six years old to go to the Olympic Games and to finally have that dream realised is something massive for me.
Mine has been a concern for the people, a concern to maintain stability, a concern to get people working together racially, ethnically, rich and poor - all segments of the city.
