Dura é a luta contra o desejo, que compra o que quer à custa da alma. 

As pessoas não carecem de força, carecem de determinação. 

Bom mesmo é ir à luta com determinação, abraçar a vida com paixão, perder com classe e vencer com ousadia, porque o mundo pertence a quem se atreve e a vida é muito para ser insignificante.

Só é lutador quem sabe lutar consigo mesmo. 

A força não provém da capacidade física. Provém de uma vontade indomável. 

A força de vontade deve ser mais forte do que a habilidade. 

O que falta às pessoas não é força, e sim, vontade. 

Nada existe tão alto que o homem, com força de vontade, não possa apoiar a sua escada. 

Assim como o lutador, o guerreiro da luz conhece sua imensa força; e jamais luta com quem não merece a honra do combate. 

A alegria está na luta, na tentativa, no sofrimento envolvido e não na vitória propriamente dita. 

Quem luta com monstros deve velar por que, ao fazê-lo, não se transforme também em monstro. E se tu olhares, durante muito tempo, para um abismo, o abismo também olha para dentro de ti. 

Todo o homem luta com mais bravura pelos seus interesses do que pelos seus direitos. 

Quem luta contra nós reforça os nossos nervos e aguça as nossas habilidades. O nosso antagonista é quem mais nos ajuda. 

Não há quem sustente uma luta mais árdua do que aquele que se tenta vencer a si próprio. 

O homem é feito para a luta, não para o repouso. 

A vida é cheia de obrigações que a gente cumpre por mais vontade que tenha de as infringir deslavadamente. 

So the ideology was that use sounds as instruments as sounds on tape without the causality. It was no longer a clarinet or a spring or a piano but a sound with a form a development a life of its own.

I always make a distinction between nostalgia and sentimentality. Nostalgia is genuine - you mourn things that actually happened.

Create something, sell it, make it better, sell it some more and then create something that obsoletes what you used to make.

The Princess's so-called 'time and space speech' at the end of '93 about a year after the formal separation, looking back on it it's called her retirement from public life but we've seen in fact it's nothing of the kind.

You'd go to a Pakistani party and the men and women would go in at the front door and the women would go to the right and the men would go to the left, and that was the last that we'd see of them until we were coming home.

I think being bi-continental is something I want to continue. Kuala Lumpur is my home, but L.A. is where I've been able to make the music that I want.

I like where we're going with technology and global integration, but the fact that corporations and dollars rule everything in our lives, I don't like it. This isn't the Hollywood I wanted to be part of.

I love smart comedy.

They know they got the TV ad, they know they got the name recognition, they know that they can do a tie in with McDonald's or some fast food outlet and the money is just gonna flow in.

We've passed an energy bill in the House, to help us be less reliant upon foreign oil so we can get gas prices down. But nothing happens in the Senate.

A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt as dangerous.

The five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.

Presidents always want to do nice, noble, long-run things, and Congress is less keen to do so. We've seen that throughout the history of this country.

When you're under stress as a human being, you behave oddly and your relationships with people become strained.

I'm not happy with just repeating myself.

Tomorrow is not given to anyone. What is given is the now enjoy each minuet as if it were to be the last.

In a well-monitored storage site, it is always possible to release CO2 in a controlled manner in the unlikely event that it threatens to escape. Such a release is certainly no worse than ignoring the emission in the first place.

I write in reverse: Rather than come up with a narrative and write jokes for that narrative, I write jokes independently of the narrative, then I try to fit them in.

I don't know if he throws a spitball but he sure spits on the ball.

But I always wanted my characters to be more than cyphers for the failings of their world. And I never had to look too hard to find a part of myself in them.

The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.

I never like revealing too much about myself. Once you start giving people that look into your life, then they just want more and more.

To be honest, I find most politicians very untrustworthy. When I listen to them talking - or rather, lying - I just feel there are very few politicians with integrity, so I never know who to bat for.

It has always been clear that The Washington Post is a company that is set up for the purpose of protecting the long-term interests of its assets and held together as a holding company.
