It is easy for men to talk one thing and think another.
What shall we think of a well-adjusted slave?
You can think whatever you want, do whatever you want. I'm going to just go on loving you, even if it's hopeless.
I think the United States and the secretary of State should be concerned about the poverty in this country - people without health insurance. The United States should stop being the empire and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.
Please don't get me wrong here. I'm not making fun of old people. In fact I think that's the goal of everybody here tonite. We all want to be an old person someday.
I'm a part of the GOP and let me tell you what my stance is. My stance is that, we the people have the responsibility to take care of the indigent in our society. It's not the government's job. You can read the Constitution all you want, it never says that it is the government's job and I think where we've gotten confused.
What you saw was the people of New York having a debate, talking through these issues. It was contentious; it was emotional; but, ultimately, they made a decision to recognize civil marriage. And I think that's exactly how things should work.
I think a poet, like a painter, should be a craftsperson.
The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so.
Of course I love when people are quiet, but I also love when people are comfortable. I love when people emote. The flip side of having a totally silent audience is that they're less likely to react to you in the space, and I think that's one of the great things about performing live: you get energy from the audience, and you give energy back to them. There's interaction.
I think the PC will continue to be around for a long, long time to come. We see a new range of products evolving around the PC, but it's not going away.
I thought society would do the right thing. Now I look around and I think -- society never does the right thing. Sometimes people do the right thing. Sometimes one person makes a difference. But civilization has rules, and I've learned them well -- never be helpless, never be sick, never be poor.
I think we have to look very strongly at no-fly lists and watch lists. And when people are on there, even if they shouldn't be on there, we'll help them, we'll help them legally, we'll help them get off.
When I was growing up, everyone around me was fond of fooling around with words. It was certainly common in my family, but I think it is typical of Bombay, and maybe of India, that there is a sense of play in the way people use language.
In our house we don't take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage.
When I am at peace with myself. . . then thoughts flow into me most easily and at their best. Where they come from and how - that I cannot say. . . I'd be willing to work forever and forever if I were permitted to write only such music as I want to write and can write - which I myself think good.
Photography is my one recreation and I think it should be done well.
I think my favorite sound is the sound of someone not playing the bongos.
I do think vulnerability is a virtue.
I think anybody that is going to be taken seriously in [music] industry needs to produce their own original music.
