Мы имеем возможность пребывать в своем теле лишь ограниченное количество времени, так почему бы не радоваться этому путешествию, вместо того чтобы уныло ползти вперед, пока оно не кончится?

Тусуйся с крутыми и классными людьми, рядом с которыми ощутишь себя полным лошарой, если не станешь таким же крутым и классным. Не устану это подчеркивать. Люди, которыми ты себя окружаешь, сильно влияют на то, как ты видишь свой мир и насколько высокую ставишь планку.

Если хочешь это делать, не жди, пока будешь не так занят, или более обеспечен, или «готов», или на 20 фунтов похудеешь. Начинай прямо сейчас. Мы никогда больше не будем так молоды, как сейчас. Навещай своих любимых как можно чаще. Поступай так, словно каждая ваша встреча – последняя.

Все мы знаем гораздо больше, чем сами думаем. 2. Мы тянемся к делам, в которых талантливы от природы (что, кстати говоря, значит больше, чем наличие университетского диплома по данному предмету). 3. Нет лучшего учителя, чем нужда. 4. Страсть побеждает страх.

Вот каков механизм. У каждого из нас, людей, имеется сознание и подсознание. Однако большинство осознает только свое сознание, поскольку именно с его помощью мы перерабатываем поступающую информацию.

В сознании мы выносим суждения, мучаемся навязчивыми мыслями, ругаем себя за безалаберность, решаем раз и навсегда перестать есть жареное, соображаем, что 2 + 2 = 4, пытаемся припомнить, где, черт возьми, мы оставили ключи от машины – и т. д.

I remember back in the '90s, I used to feel criticized by women for not having children. Like there must be something wrong with me.

Country music has always been about as close to R&B as you can possibly get. We're storytellers.

Anti-frackers are disingenuous. They bow to the religion of environmentalism.

Maybe I should mention it: I was not from the beginning mainly interested in papilloma virus; I was mainly interested in infectious agents in human cancer. So papilloma viruses came up as the most likely candidate from my viewpoint.

I never felt I left the stage.

This is the age of disruption.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.

In the end, it is because the media are driven by the power and wealth of private individuals that they turn private lives into public spectacles. If every private life is now potentially public property, it is because private property has undermined public responsibility.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

One day, a new fabric appeared on the scene. PVC was shiny, waterproof, and unlike anything I'd ever seen before.

Some people do just enough to keep you around because they are afraid to know what life would be like without you.

What I really try to do is photograph people at rest, in a state of serenity.

If there's one thing I'm not going to apologise for as the leader of the Liberal Democrats in government after 60 or 70 years of being out of government, it's that you just cannot avoid but deal with the world the way it is.

It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.

That's sort of what I felt... I miss drinking, I thought bars were truly holy places.

I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go to the set, I know exactly what I want to do.

I mean, I've always had scattered interests, but I never went on stage to get an agent or anything like that.

You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days you would never have that sense of accomplishment

There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.

When religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now,when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.

It is true practically if not altogether without exception that the changes studied by any science tend to equilibrate or neutralize the forces which bring them about, and finally to come to rest.

My impression is that American policy speaks not of antagonism but rather partnership.

Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.

If guys try to make a bigger company for the sake of size, they don't create value in most cases.
