Further, for once, I like the idea that people who think I'm a constant voice for the furthering of the imagination have to see that interest in a more materialistic fashion.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.

Joan Jett

It almost felt like we were driving in our own world--like we were inside a snow globe--and there was music and sunlight and smiles and laughter floating in the air. And it was all self-contained in a beautiful bubble filled with glittering water that made things seem a little unreal, a little dream-like and hazy.

Melissa C. Walker

We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

Albert Camus

Suppose some one asserts of his lustful appetite that, when the desired object and the opportunity are present, it is quite irresistible. Ask him if a gallows were erected before the house where he finds this opportunity, in order that he should be hanged thereon immediately after the gratification of his lust, whether he could not then control his passion; we need not be long in doubt what he would reply. Ask him, however, if his sovereign ordered him, on the pain of the same immediate execution, to bear false witness against an honourable man, whom the prince might wish to destroy under a plausible pretext, would he consider it possible in that case to overcome his love of life, however great it may be. He would perhaps not venture to affirm whether he would do so or not, but he would unhesitatingly admit that it is possible to do so. He judges, therefore, that he can do a certain thing because he is conscious that he ought, and he recognizes that he is free--a fact which but for the moral law he would never have known.

Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure

It's rest I want--there, I have said it out--From cooking meals for hungry hired menAnd washing dishes after them--from doingThings over and over that just won't stay done.By good rights I ought not to have so muchPut on me, but there seems no other way.Len says one steady pull more ought to do it.He says the best way out is always through.And I agree to that, or in so farAs that I can see no way out but through--Leastways for me--and then they'll be convinced.http://melange.enigmatic.org/archive/2004-06/bestwayoutisthrough.php

Robert Frost, A Servant to Serva

The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right, then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill, that meant not doing what people expected.

John McKinley

In the military, I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough, important assignments.

Tulsi Gabbard

I hold this as a rule of life: Too much of anything is bad.

Terence

Georgian architecture respected the scale of both the individual and the community.

Stephen Gardiner

I must be cruel only to be kind;Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.

William Shakespeare

Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

William Shakespeare

What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.

Mahatma Gandhi
