Damn everything but the circus.

Flowers grow out of dark moments.

Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.

That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.

Women's liberation is the liberation of the feminine in the man and the masculine in the woman.

A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.

Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.

Damn everything but the circus.

Groceries became a revelation: the people coming out with bundles of food. It's all like a great ceremony, and the whole drudgery of shopping has become my inspiration.

I am not brave enough to not pay my income tax and risk going to jail. But I can say rather freely what I want to say with my art.

In the eighteenth century, it was ladies and gentlemen and swings in a garden; today, it may be Campbell's soup cans or highway signs. There is no real difference. The artist still takes his everyday world and tries to make something out of it.

Someone remarked that the newspapers or the news magazines are the same as the psalms except that the names changed in the stories. Maybe you can't understand the psalms without understanding the newspaper and the other way around.

Take an exhibit, in the days when we saw the Pop art - Andy Warhol and all that - tomato soup cans, etc., and coming home, you saw everything like A. Warhol.

When art has changed, it's because the world was changing.

When someone drew a picture of Pope John wearing an Avis 'We try harder' button, those words no longer meant which car rental to patronize, and yet some of the overtones from its original meaning are there and make a contribution to the new situation.

Words have life and must be cared for. If they are stolen for ugly uses or careless slang or false promotion work, they need to be brought back to their original meaning - back to their roots.

You can enjoy the quality of the ad and not let them pressure you to buy what you don't really need. I have had fun taking back superlatives and just ordinary good words and phrases from ads and trying to restore some of their life to them.

I have a few personal ambitions for the band.

Because gray clouds hang heavy with misery blue skies seem bluer.

I'm not cut out to be a detective on 'Law & Order' - I laugh too easily.

Since 2000, it's been a privilege and honor for me to be on the competition committee. And our main focus... is player safety.

The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.

Teofilo Stevenson won his first Olympic gold medal in 1972 and his last world amateur championship in 1986. He won 302 fights and once went an unbelievable 11 years without a loss. Had Cuba not boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics, many think Stevenson would have won an unmatched four gold medals in boxing.

But otherwise, music is about a beat and a message.

Nobody criticised me when we qualified for the World Cup when I decided that the best shape for us going forward was three men at the back and stretching the pitch width-wise, which gives you options.

Get digital scales because, for baking, balance scales just aren't accurate enough: it's all in the weighing up.

I did nothing but theater until, I guess, '99. I was all the way through college the first time that I had stepped in front of a camera. And it's weird; it's definitely a transition.

Struggles do not end when countries attempt the transition to democracy.

I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.

Idleness makes people feeble and peevish. Work makes them stalwart and prone to anger.

Marriage is built around complementarity of the sexes, and therefore the institution of marriage is a support for stable families and societies.

I left for Petersburg in August, 1871 and stayed there until 1879.

We love those under-eye circles. It's real life.

Why should we, however, in economics, have to plead ignorance of the sort of facts on which, in the case of a physical theory, a scientist would certainly be expected to give precise information?

Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.

Without numerous schools offering hands-on opportunities, no commander will be cultivated.

When I was in middle school, I always did well in school, but teachers either loved me or absolutely hated me.

As chief elections officer, it's my job to protect the integrity of the ballot.

I completed medical school at Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 1984.

Most male victims of violence are the victims of other men's violence. So that's something that both women and men have in common. We are both victims of men's violence.

You know, I have a lot of books on my iPad, but when I try to read them, I find myself wandering off to play games. Those are books I'm interested in. I can't imagine what would have happened to me in college if my biology class had been on the same computer as 'Words With Friends' and 'Doom.'
