We can understand each other with music without words

We can understand each other with music without words - and that's so important in

these times when walls are built. In music, there are no walls.

Andris Nelsons

The boy taught from infancy to be tough is emotionally doomed.
Faith Salie

Nations that use commodity capitalism as a stepping-stone to a mixed economy based on commodity/intellectual capitalism will most likely become rich.
Michio Kaku

Designer pricing should hurt, but it shouldn't kill you. You wince when you hand over your AmEx, but once you get it home, you never regret it. You divide it by how many days you're using it, and suddenly it becomes affordable.
Michael Bastian

I kind of focus on my own stuff, really, and then when people come into my territory, I've got to fight them away, and that's what we do every time fight night happens.
Anthony Joshua

As soon as I walk outside, I get depressed. If I see a dog, I'll get upset about how much it must suck to be on a leash. I'll get on a bus and tear up at the thought of how the driver has to go back and forth on the same street for eight hours in mind-numbing traffic.
Cazzie David

I know of a few writers who are husband and wife teams.
Sylvia Day

If anything caused ISIS, it was the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Mohammad Javad Zarif

Food deserts on Chicago's South Side have shrunk some since 2006, and this has provided health benefits to the communities.
Elizabeth Flock

Modern free-traders... embrace their ideal with a passion that makes Robespierre seem prudent. They embrace unbridled free trade, even as it helps China become a superpower.
Robert Lighthizer

I seek out things that terrify me, like an improv class. I'm terrified of sharks, but I scuba dive. I'm not good at auditioning, but I force myself to do it all the time. I've never met anybody who is fearless, but the more you push against your own boundaries, the easier it becomes to push.
Cobie Smulders

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

There's a book out called 'How Money Walks' written by Travis Brown.

He's followed annual adjusted gross income from 1992 to 2011. Approximately $100 billion has moved to Florida from all over the country. Number two is Arizona. Where does it come from? It's come from New York; it's come from New Jersey; and it's come from California. Rick Scott China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law. Benigno Aquino III I did not intend for there to be an incisive historical lesson in 'North and South.' Basically, it's just a good, juicy story. David L. Wolper When I went to the all-Ireland final - Kerry against Dublin - I couldn't get away for an hour and a half with people coming up and wishing me all the best. Not one of them said, 'Martin, when did you leave the IRA?' But every one of them knew I was in the IRA at one stage. Martin McGuinness The answer to neofascism is stopping neoliberalism. Putting another Clinton in the White House will fan the flames of t...

I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have

writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don't enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there's no connection to the characters. Alexi Zentner If you have a vision for something, things are navigable. If it gets fuzzy, then obstacles become much more formidable. Bennett Miller I would say I've done everything I wanted to. Jean-Paul Belmondo If there's another iPhone that's better, that's sad for my old iPhone. But it means we get to use a better one. Roger Ver I don't want you to feel defeated, like, 'Oh boy, why do you do this to me?' We have too many of those songs. Kelela Red carpet is a little bit scary. It's not about expression. It's about taking a pretty picture in a really weird, awkward way, with so many people watching. It's a glamorous part of the job, but it requires its own kind of courage. Tracee Ellis Ross I was hi...

You can't afford for there to be gaps in your pool of knowledge when it comes to a character;

otherwise, what ends up onscreen is generalized and unspecific. David Oyelowo As conservatives, we support free market principles and believe the private sector provides solutions that the government cannot. Mike Pompeo It is very important that people see there is a bright future, and we can re-engage that entrepreneurial spirit of the trading nation for which the U.K. has always been known - that dynamic, creative spirit. Theresa May When I began making electronic music, the only thing I was thinking about was creating music that I really liked. I didn't think about what effect it would have; I was busy doing it. Jean-Michel Jarre I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.' That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!...

I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see

singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul. Sara Sampaio I've always had a reluctance to meet my heroes. Steven Van Zandt Those who support the death penalty are accepting a practice that is both ineffective and fundamentally flawed. Clint Smith I don't want to be in the spotlight, ever! I don't know why I got in this profession! Ana de Armas I've never been in trouble with the law. Glenn Gronkowski Writers can express ideas and emotions that are important to them but have no other means of expression. Some of these ideas may be fantastic, and some of the emotions may be given clearer voice in fantastic fiction. Brian Stableford The Internet removed geography as a significant obstacle that formerly prevented out-of-the-way places from being active players in the New Economy. Greg Gian...

I saw my dad doing it and thought to myself, 'I can do that.' I would be backstage

watching him and running around the country with him singing to children. He would sing songs that taught children really good morals: like, 'Teaching Peace' was a song he used to sing to kids a lot. Andy Grammer I wanted to be an attorney all the way up until I was 17. Mark Foster I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small. Nithya Menen He's known as Sting. I have my own personal name for him, but that shall remain a personal name. Trudie Styler I wanted to play for United; I wanted to play at Old Trafford. It was always my goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability. Carrie-Anne Moss I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood. Shaheer Sheikh The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that...

I have always felt that public, commercial and community organisations should be as open as

possible about their affairs. They need to be accountable to their owners, their customers, their members and communities and other interest groups. Laisenia Qarase Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness. Mahatma Gandhi I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big. Maynard James Keenan All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others. Cyril Connolly Books are those faithful mirrors that reflect to our mind the minds of sages and heroes. Edward Gibbon I have tried to be as eclectic as I possibly can with my professional life, and so far it's been pretty fun. Roland Barthes True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure. Auguste Rodin

I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander

Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in 'We, the people.' Barbara Jordan It is time to effect a revolution in female manners - time to restore to them their lost dignity. It is time to separate unchangeable morals from local manners. Mary Wollstonecraft Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time. David R. Brower I believe in the greatness of our democracy. Chen Shui-bian It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid. Scott Caan I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people. Tom Baker

I did study the art of being a barber because I wanted to figure out

what my routine would be. Do you start in the front or back? Top or bottom? Swivel the chair or walk around? What I did discover is there's no such thing as the perfect haircut! Sean Patrick Thomas Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of. Gareth Gates I don't have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off. Mike Thompson The key to successful missionary work is a close relationship between the missionaries and the members. Creating an environment in working with members that will bring more into the Church. Richard G. Scott I'm very much in support of the free press, but the free press ought to be educational and informative. And I believe they have fallen down r...

I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that,

but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear. And yeah, I made a fool of myself in front of the world, but it was also great to pick myself back up and go on tour. Ashlee Simpson I love great acting, as nerdy as that sounds. Aubrey Plaza Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world. John Polkinghorne As a human being, I'm work in process. John Lydon But when I stopped facing Sandy, I had to face Don Drysdale. No one on my team wanted to face him. Juan Marichal I like being 30. I wouldn't want to do the twenties again. They are their own entity. Jonathan Rhys Meyers It's been interesting. I went through a period where a lot of people would recognize me, and then when I had injures and my ranking dropped, not as many people did...
