I believe in giving back very strongly.
We're surrounded by mandates, and I believe that literature should be mandate-free. I feel very strongly about that.
If one is strong, one loves the more strongly.
Writing has nothing to do with publishing. Nothing. People get totally confused about that. You write because you have to - you write because you can't not write. The rest is show-business. I can't state that too strongly. Just write - worry about the rest of it later, if you worry at all. What matters is what happens to you while you're writing the story, the poem, the play. The rest is show-business.
So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses in stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it.
We mistrust anything that too strongly challenges our ideal of mediocrity.
I feel very strongly that you can't just beat people up anymore; you have to work hand in hand and find ways to compromise, and get big business involved, because it won't happen otherwise.
Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
I'm a woman who likes to be courted, strongly. Never say never, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that.
I have always envied people who believe strongly in religion, people who could face a tragedy by praying and know that it would be all right. As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders.
There is not a passion so strongly rooted in the human heart as envy.
I strongly support the Second Amendment and I believe the Second Amendment ought to be preserved - which means no gun control.
Today, and I'm very strongly against tax increases.
If there's one thing I feel very strongly about, it's that there shouldn't be a distinction between pianists who play Ligeti and those who play Chopin. It might seem that they involve different skill sets, but I don't think that's true: whether playing Ives or Bach or Beethoven, you must bring the same imagination, the same sensitivity, and an ability to deal with same kinds of musical problems. The method behind my madness, anyway, is to keep plugging away at this idea.
I'm a sinner. I don't always love God as strongly as I could or as directly as I should. Ash Wednesday reminds me that it is only through God that I have life; He gave it to me. God forgives. He loves. And He gives this sinner a second chance. Put simply: my God kicks ash.
I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.
I have very strongly this feeling. . . that our everyday life is at one and the same time banal, overfamiliar, platitudinous and yet mysterious and extraordinary.
What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
We're professional athletes. People know who we are, and if there's some way we can help with a friend or someone in need, that's a responsibility we have. I really strongly believe that.
Everyone is allowed to have their own boundaries. You just are. No matter how you dress, no matter what you say or anything, and I feel strongly about that.
