Will this strengthen my dendrites?

Challenges help my brain.

Yet.

Mistakes are opportunities.

I can do this.

Keep trying.

What would I change for next time?

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.

There is a constant ebb and flow in art historical reputations. The reputation of even the greatest figures like Picasso are in flux.

I'm always going back to one thing - my family... It's my family, my religion, my fighters. Put them in any order you want.

I think that when we start thought-policing people and idea-policing people, then that's crossing a line. And I think, you know, everybody's so afraid of this imaginary line of thought police that they forget their own personal safety.

You can't serve up hearts like cherries jubilee.

I think good comedy is a commitment to the absurd in that the situation for the actors should be virtually played like a drama.

After its defeat in the Second World War, Japan, unlike Germany, failed to show true contrition or give a fulsome apology, though it showered its neighbours, including China, with generous economic assistance.

Jesus never mistreated anyone just because they mistreated Him. He confronted them in a spirit of gentleness and then continued to love them.

All I can go on is my own value system.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family.

I've got to have 25 balls in the air at the same time.

I've been called 'hardheaded,' 'obstinate,' 'unreasonable,' etc.

It is tragic that some Christians have been so battered with stories of a prideful, vindictive God that they have fled from Jesus' fold.

Politics, for me, is not a competition to see who's got the bigger ego. It's working together for the good of the people.

I wanted to hear the songs in the way that I had written them, which was very basic. All I wanted was drums and another guitar, and I was just going to sing.

Unless you are willing to compromise, society cannot live together.

The aspect of kind of living in your imagination and creating a more romantic vision of the world than the reality that you're given - that's definitely something I can sort of relate to.

When I was a kid, we had to rely on our imaginations for entertainment.
