Life, it seems, is nothing if not a series of initiations, transitions, and incorporations.
To fight for one's country, to offer one's very life to promote the well being of the United States, is truly a noble undertaking. But so is the vigilance of the citizen who carefully examines our leaders to see if political problems are being solved by wars simply because this seems to be the easiest solution.
I've noticed lately that it seems most intimate to not use any closing on your e-mail at all, because it seems to make it feel like you are engaged in an ongoing conversation - as if this one e-mail doesn't represent the beginning and end of the interaction but is just part of a perpetual loop of friendly back-and-forth.
It seems as though our leaders have almost forgotten about legal immigration and are just leaving our borders open, which is a detriment culturally, financially, and in a lot of other realms for native people.
If there's one thing this team doesn't lack, it's competitiveness and a desire to win. No matter if we come off a win or come off a loss, it seems like we don't really care. We're always motivated to win.
You can't beat a cop drama. That's what everybody seems to want to watch.
Sometimes it seems like there's more footnotes than text. This isn't something we're proud of, and over time we'd like to see our footnotes steadily shrink.
As in nature, all is ebb and tide, all is wave motion, so it seems that in all branches of industry, alternating currents - electric wave motion - will have the sway.
How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.
We just decided to pick the date 'The Matrix' opened in most of the world. At the end of the day, it worked out really great because the world seems to have got to a place where I think the movie is even more relevant now than it was several months ago.
Seems to me that the institutions that function in this country are clearly racist, and that they're built upon racism.
Whatever I'm reading at the moment seems to influence whatever I'm writing.
Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots.
When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean, that's faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two, that's science.
It seems to me that we're in danger of losing sight of certain basic civic values in society by allowing the growth of a whole generation of people who really have no sense of attachment to society.
It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.
It seems like they never say anything bad about actors, they just pump them up.
Whatever makes an impression on the heart seems lovely in the eye.
Writing about dead white males seems to be out of favor among academics.
Gimmicks come and go; the cop show seems one genre that will never leave - not as long as people like to sit at home in the suburbs and see what awful things go on in the cities.
I know a lot of actors talk about the importance of wardrobe, and it always seems like it's kind of a cop-out, maybe, because it seems like a minor detail to some people. But I think it's hugely important.
There's no lack of writers writing novels in America, about America. Therefore, it seems to me it would be wasteful for me to add to that huge number of people writing here when there are so few people writing about somewhere else.
Congress seems to want to cure every ill known to man except unconstitutional government and high taxes.
Lie detection is like language; there is a learning window. Telling whoppers to small children seems to be a family tradition in many families.
And it seems to be today, image is a real important thing once again.
There's something about the superheroes and the idea behind their relationship with humans, whether it's a metaphor for the better part of ourselves, or the more flawed part of ourselves. So it seems to really be our own pop-culture version of Greek mythology.
I'm as happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!
And it seems to me important for a country, for a nation to certainly know about its glorious achievements but also to know where its ideals failed, in order to keep that from happening again.
There seems to be an inclination among rock musicians to be very carefree with money, but I negotiate the best flight and hotel deals on our tours to maximise the band's income - I don't want too see too much taken off the top line.
I love wrestling, but to wrestle just one style for the rest of my life seems like it would really hold me down creatively.
It seems to me that more and more we've come to expect less and less from each other, and I think that should change.
It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.
The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.
I'd love, love, love to do a comedy. I can't imagine being on set and being happy and cheerful. That seems so foreign.
Jerry Bruckheimer says that he makes films that he would want to see, and it seems that that coincides with what a lot of people want to see.
It seems to me that since I've had children, I've grown richer and deeper. They may have slowed down my writing for a while, but when I did write, I had more of a self to speak from.
