The worst men often give the best advice.
A propagandist is a specialist in selling attitudes and opinions.
Hans Speier
What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.
Erykah Badu
I look at Liv Tyler and think It's not fair, because I can't find a flaw on her. And on top of that she seems nice, so it's really not fair.
Tori Spelling
Fear God, yes, but don't be afraid of Him.
J. A. Spender
My main idea was to create a sports facility for the basics. This is why I established the club.
Sergei Bubka
I think of those who were truly great. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.
Stephen Spender
It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.
Oswald Spengler
The more people explore the world, the more they realize in every country there's a different aesthetic. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
Helena Christensen
The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.
Long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.
The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.
Edmund Spenser
Out of respect to writers, you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.
Joanna Trollope
But Justice, though her dome doom she doe prolong,Yet at the last she will her owne cause right.
It feels good to have your work respected again.
Eminem
What it comes down to is that modern society discriminates against the right hemisphere.
Roger Sperry
I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.
Zoe Kazan
I like to think of myself as the Rutger Hauer of this show Star Trek: The Next Generation. But then I like to think of myself as Rutger Hauer in real life: strikingly handsome, irresistible to women, an intergalactic enigma.
Brent Spiner
The three sexes are men, women, and professors.
J. E. Spingarn
I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not concerned with tomorrow, but with what goes on today.
Mark Spitz
I swam my brains out.
Not too long ago, if you did 75 percent of the things you did right, it was okay. Now, if you don't do 98 percent of those things right, some competitor will eat you for lunch.
John Spoelhof
We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.
Viola Spolin
In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.
Douglas Wilson
The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.
Through spontaneity we are re-formed into ourselves. It creates an explosion that for the moment frees us from handed-down frames of reference, memory choked with old facts and information and undigested theories and techniques of other people's findings. Spontaneity is the moment of personal freedom when we are faced with reality, and see it, explore it and act accordingly. In this reality the bits and pieces of ourselves function as an organic whole. It is the time of discovery, of experiencing, of creative expression.
I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system.
Oren Peli
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.
Jean M. Auel
The priesthood in many ways is the ultimate closet in Western civilization, where gay people particularly have hidden for the past two thousand years.
John Spong
A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.
Lysander Spooner
What you dislike in another take care to correct in yourself.
Thomas Sprat
Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
Robert D. Sprecht
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Bruce Springsteen
I believe the war on poverty is a more American idea than the war on the war on poverty. I believe that most people feel like that. And I believe that it ain't over till it's over.
Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.
Roland Barthes
People deserve... the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
How pleasant is Saturday night when I've tried all the week to be good, and not spoke a word that was bad, and obliged everyone that I could.
Nancy Sproat
At home I've got a very puerile, juvenile sense of humour.
Thom Yorke
