Each culture has some knowledge. That's why I studied with Saj Dev, an Indian flute player. That's why I studied Stockhausen's music. The pygmies' music of the rain forest is very rich music. So the knowledge is out there. And I also believe one should seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave. With that kind of inquisitiveness, one discovers things that were unknown before.
Round my cradle shimmered the last moonbeams of the eighteenth century and the first morning rays of the nineteenth.
The hand that rocks the cradle should also rock the boat.
There is nothing--no, nothing--innocent or good, that dies and is forgotten; let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a prattling child, dying in the cradle, will live again in the better thoughts of those that loved it, and play its part through them in the redeeming actions of the world, though its body be burnt to ashes or drowned in the deep sea.
Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.
Women are the cradles of life. What sort of man tries to break a cradle (Marc)
Poverty sits by the cradle of all our great men and rocks all of them to manhood.
Americans. . . are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be. It must have something to do with the vanished frontier.
man is vile, and man makes nothing worth making, knows nothing worth knowing.
A delusion that encourages belief where there is no evidence is asking for trouble. Disagreements between incompatible beliefs cannot be settled by reasoned argument because reasoned argument is drummed out of those trained in religion from the cradle. Instead, disagreements are settled by other means which, in extreme cases, inevitably become violent. Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence. Much the same is true of philosophers, historians and literary critics.
All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.
In Seattle we live among the trees and the waterways, and we feel we are rocked gently in the cradle of life. Our winters are not cold and our summers are not hot and we congratulate ourselves for choosing such a spectacular place to rest our heads.
Nor has he lived in vain, who from his cradle to his grave has passed his life in seclusion.
The cradle of the future is the grave of the past.
The past was only my cradle, and now it cannot hold me, because I am grown too big.
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It is the source of all true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
Cradles are the most powerful pinning combination known to man
Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life.
Africa - You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.
Solitude in the presence of natural beauty and grandeur is the cradle of thought and aspirations which are not only good for the individual, but which society can ill do without.
