Everyone always says I'm a rapper, and that I'm exactly like Peaches and M. I. A. People just take any female artist and compare me to them.
We have to keep an eye on the future with a sense of the past in every passing moment of the present.
I'm interested in stories. I think I'm a bit of a pathfinder.
I do quite a lot of art, with a small 'a'. I guess that is how I was dredged up, with paints and crayons. Even when I was at nursery, I knew instinctively how to mix colours, how to make purple or orange.
Style is anti-fashion; it's not about following trends.
At home, I love reaching out into that absolute silence, when you can hear the owl or the wind.
My earliest childhood memory is watching the sunlight through a jar of amber full of wasps.
It is indeed better (as no one ever could deny) that men should be led to worship God by teaching, than that they should be driven to it by fear of punishment or pain; but it does not follow that because the former course produces the better men, therefore those who do not yield to it should be neglected. For many have found advantage (as we have proved, and are daily proving by actual experiment), in being first compelled by fear or pain, so that they might afterwards be influenced by teaching, or might follow out in act what they had already learned in word.
Made for spirituality, we wallow in introspection. Made for joy, we settle for pleasure. Made for justice, we clamor for vengeance. Made for relationship, we insist on our own way. Made for beauty, we are satisfied with sentiment. But new creation has already begun. The sun has begun to rise. Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. . . That, quite simply, is what it means to be Christian: to follow Jesus Christ into the new world, God's new world, which he has thrown open before us.
True #leadership isn't the bastion of a few who sit at the top. . . We all need to step up, take the risk and put our interests second-not always-but when it counts.
A man's intelligence does not increase as he acquires power. What does increase is the difficulty of telling him so.
