It was very interesting for me because DNA made music without much technical knowledge at all.

Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.

C. Wright Mills

Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? is not this also a return?

Epictetus

To me, John Lennon and Elvis Presley were punks, because they made music that evoked those emotions in people.

Joey Ramone

Who so regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind. Ecclesiasticus 34:2

Bible

You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I'm making more money.

Billy Joel

I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.

Walton Goggins

Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.

Thomas J. Watson

Happiness is being on the beam with life - to feel the pull of life.

Agnes Martin

As we approach the new millennium, we see how much remains to be done to give our young and future generations a better world to live in: a more peaceful society with a healthier, cleaner environment and a pattern of sustainable development which seeks to eradicate poverty. Education is the single most powerful means to improve the quality of life... the single most powerful weapon against poverty and intolerance. Education builds a culture of peace ... it empowers human beings, both young and adult, to be effective in their chosen sphere of activity ... education in its essence, opens doors to both personal and social development.

Federico Mayor, Address at the S

You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave - win or lose.

Gordie Howe

Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.

George J. Mitchell

A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition.
