I cannot give a single concert at which I do not play one piece after the other in an agony of terror because my memory threatens to fail me. This fear torments me for days beforehand.

Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.

Trevor Dunn

I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I'm a Republican. I don't want to go to heaven and have to face my family up there and tell them I voted for a Democrat.

T. Boone Pickens

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

C. Northcote Parkinson

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.

Lord Chesterfield

Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.

Bertrand Russell

As Christians you should be like bridges to Heaven; letting people walk on you to get there.

Tommy Tran

In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the 8 hours when we stop killing each other and gratutious over eating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!

Lloyd Kaufman

He (God) is right and always has been, because in reality God is only love.

Deepak Chopra

To preserve the freedom of the human mind and freedom of the press, every spirit should be ready to devote itself to martyrdom; for as long as we may think as we will, and speak as we think the condition of man will proceed in improvement. The generation which is going off the stage has deserved well of mankind for the struggles it has made, and for having arrested the course of despotism which had overwhelmed the world for thousands and thousands of years. If there seems to be danger that the ground they have gained will be lost again, that danger comes from the generation your contemporary. But that the enthusiasm which characterizes youth should lift its parricide hands against freedom and science would be such a monstrous phenomenon as I cannot place among possible things in this age and country.

Thomas Jefferson

The worst part is the unknown. The pain of being alone, the loneliness, is familiar. You've dealt with that. You understand it. But loving someone, risking everything, is unknown. There's no way to know how bad it's going to be. You barely survive the pain of being alone, so how can you deal with anything worse? So you don't bother to try.
