Although other animals may be different from us, this does not make them LESS than us
America does not presume to know what is best for everyone
Hiding spending does not reduce spending.
Tomorrow's character is made out of today's thoughts. Temptation may come suddenly, but sin does not.
It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.
The language of images [of inner-oriented artists] does not follow a code structure that is evident and widely accepted, but is more likely to be a complex of symbols that have a profound meaning for the artists themselves.
I don't have a set pattern. I take things as they come. Usually with a great amount of relish. I just lay back and wait for it to happen. And it usually does.
