The world is not such a large place, and we have more in common with one another than we might think.
Everyone is not able, or inclined, to write poetry in the narrower sense any more than everyone is qualified to take part in a walking race. But just as all of us can and do walk, so all of us can and do use language poetically.
Never has the political class or the mainstream media that covers them been more out of touch with the American people than they are today.
I feel fashion needs me for many, many years more.
I see man more as an instrument or an agent more than anything else.
Going to church doesn't make you any more a Christian than going to the garage makes you a car.
I enjoyed my upbringing, my siblings did, we're polite, we're respectful, but at the end of the day we're young, we like to have fun. But now, more so than ever, the youth has been vilified to the point where it feels like you can't enjoy being young any more, you just have to sit it out and wait until you get old.
Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.
I paint stupid things; that's what I do. I can't think of anything more boring than a really beautiful thing. You have to mess it up. There has to be something a little kinky to keep their attention.
I carried props into the subway - the latest 'Semlotext(e),' a hefty volume of the Frankfurt School - so that the employed would not get the wrong idea or, more to the point, the usual idea about me.
I really hope for more Broadway. I didn't think I was going to love it this much. I would love to stay here.
I like to give people more than their money's worth.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less.
There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.
Composing is like driving down a foggy road toward a house. Slowly you see more details of the house-the color of the slates and bricks, the shape of the windows. The notes are the bricks and the mortar of the house.
I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.
Nothing has brought me more love, joy and peace than being a good husband and good daddy.
In Canadian comedy, you'll almost never see guns. If you bring a gun into a scene, it's like, 'Whoa! Wow, how are we going to deal with that!' Guns in an American comedy are a given. Violence in America is used in a much more cavalier way.
My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican - just because I think reporters are smart.
I'm more relaxed when I can hear the beat clearly all the time I'm singing.
My mom saved my life. She gave me mouth-to-mouth more than once.
Before playing football, I didn't fit in anywhere. My parents didn't have a lot of money, which they spent on our education to send us to Catholic private school in Oakland, mostly black. The other kids had more money than I did. I started school early; I was young. So I'd come back to my hood and read.
Manufacturing takes place in very large facilities. If you want to build a computer chip, you need a giant semiconductor fabrication facility. But nature can grow complex molecular machines using nothing more than a plant.
When I made my way across childhood to the tinny AM radio, it was dark. Lights out. I listened intently. More intently than I ever had before. Something was speaking to my unformed-ness like a long lost friend. Something that I had never met but forgotten nonetheless. I was 'realizing' that music was 'different' from other things in life.
Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.
So, for me, I make no difference whether I'm training with my shuttle crew or the Expedition crew. Of course, I think I want to take more care of the Expedition crew, because they're going to stay there for a long time.
Sometimes when you're just thrown into something, you are more ready for it than when you have time to think it over and get nervous about it.
To a child, often the box a toy came in is more appealing than the toy itself.
Prejudice and passion and suspicion are more dangerous than the incitement of self-interest or the most stubborn adherence to real differences of opinion regarding rights.
People are more likely to pass me on the street without recognizing me, and that's good.
Adopting a new healthier lifestyle can involve changing diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables as well as increasing levels of exercise.
The older you get the more you understand what you're doing.
To many men... the miasma of peace seems more suffocating than the bracing air of war.
And getting married this autumn was certainly an additional incentive to spend rather more time in England.
I suppose, at 50, you value things in a different way. So you value connections, you value your friendships, you value your health, and you are much more aware of time passing.
