Men were only made into 'men' with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally 'a man' any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.
The U.N. is much more than the case of Iraq.
The more a person seeks security, the more that person gives up control over their life.
The American people should be made aware of the trend toward monopolization of the great public information vehicles and the concentration of more and more power over public opinion in fewer and fewer hands.
There are more old drunkards than old physicians.
I haven't written an awful lot recently, but I think I probably will start again very shortly. Being so much on the road, when you have a couple of weeks off, you're likely to avoid sitting at the piano, and taping, and giving yourself more work to do.
Trends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that's always in style is color.
To despise riches, may, indeed, be philosophic, but to dispense them worthily, must surely be more beneficial to mankind.
To be sure, those who are actually engaged in combat - those who actually see the maimed bodies and mourning mothers - struggle more than the rest of us to make sense of the reality of war.
The Fuhrer alone is the present and future German reality and its law. Learn to know ever more deeply: from now on every single thing demands decision, and every action responsibility.
The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is.
I love working in Dublin, but when I'm in London, I'm more focused on my career.
Yes, I'm a musician. I also like to play with others, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Instagram is great for us because it's encouraging people to shoot more stuff. Some of those snappers will become professional, and they may choose to sell their photos through us.
There are so many opportunities that I could've gotten before if I had just took a little more of a risk.
We know that 10 million more people will lose insurance in the next 10 years if we don't act.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
We must continue research into new forms of energy and into more efficient use of existing energy sources.
Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.
The necessity to conceptualise has to come very early on, and defining a vector of development for that film also at the beginning of the process will allow you much more freedom as you go along.
It's a wonderful thing to see a segment of our population that is open and eager to learn more about Chinese culture. It has filtered into the mainstream. You see credit-card ads on TV with white couples and Chinese babies.
I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood.
Indians invest more in Britain than in the rest of European Union combined. It is not because they want to save on interpretation costs, but because they find an environment that is welcoming and familiar.
I like telling stories with a sense of humor. But humor can also distance you from the subject you're writing about. I'm interested in using humor as a portal to something a bit more serious.
We're not going to create a more equal society by not prodding at it, are we?
When I go to Africa and spend more time there with people who are the least of the least, those in desperate situations, I am broken by it. But I also find people with so much more joy and freedom living with nothing than I see walking down the streets of my own community here in Tennessee.
To become an American citizen, we require people to read, write and speak in English. That is to help them to assimilate in our melting pot, truly to become Americans. We mock that when the cherished right to vote does not involve English any more.
I write the paragraph, then I'm crossing out, changing words, trying to improve it. When it seems more or less OK, then I type it up because sometimes it's almost illegible, and if I wait, I might not be able to read it the next day.
People just want to dig; they want to dance. They don't want to work all through the night, and neither do I. I like getting 'out there,' but communication should be occurring on more levels than heavy-laden philosophical.
No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.
Perhaps, more importantly, I think that most human beings realise only a fraction of the true potential of their minds, so the spiritual or mystical, the things which remain mysterious or unexplained have always drawn me to include them in any scheme for a novel.
If you become more of a witness to the way you're engaging in life, you can catch yourself really screwing up some days!
In point of substantial merit the law school belongs in the modern university no more than a school of fencing or dancing.
It's far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
There's more women stars in Nashville all the time. They're proving they can do the job the same as a man.
