Children are all more or less little monkeys in that they imitate everything they see. If their mother treats them exactly as she does her visitors they in turn play "visitor" to perfection. Nothing hurts the feelings of children more than not being allowed to behave like grown persons when they think they are able.
There is no moment that isn't equivalent in value to any other moment. You have to surrender the little mind to the big mind, and turn what you want over to God.
I have olive skin, so if I'm in the sun for even 15 minutes, I turn brown.
Because I still love him. You can't just turn love off. You still feel it.
The niftiest turn of phrase, the most elegant flight of rhetorical fancy, isn't worth beans next to a clear thought clearly expressed.
Surely we all occasionally buy books because of a daydream we're having - a little fantasy about the people we might turn into one day, when our lives are different, quieter, more introspective, and when all the urgent reading, whatever that might be, has been done. We never arrive at that point, needless to say.
Doors of opportunity don't open, they unlock; it is up to you to turn the knob.
Social systems proceed by (usually) covering up the brutalities upon which they are based. The doctor doesn't let you get to his door and then turn you away, rather his home address is hard to find. The government handcuffs you so they don't have to shoot you trying to escape. And so on.
Brian Epstein was like all people who turn out to be of interest, someone who was of interest to himself. I hear this a lot now. There's a feeling of I am different.
The books turn out to be about things afterwards. I don't go into them with concepts, for the most part.
People always say turn the other cheek. If you turn the other cheek, I'm gonna hit you in the other cheek too.
That is a lot of the reason I do what I do, to really spread the word and spread information and turn people onto different things they may not be, y'know, aware of. That is what Naked City is certainly about
I don't want to impose on anyone else and make anyone else emotional or anything. I tend to quietly cry, kind of turn away.
Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least get out of the way so you won't get run over.
Memory is a slippery thing. When something terrible happens to you, like the loss of someone you love. . . memory can turn into a soft blanket that hides you from the loss.
I think that that spirit, or at least the raucousness of maybe that, is in there. And then yeah, like, along the way, you fine tune it 'cause you're thinking, like, OK, we need to now turn this into a song.
You'll always face problems. When you experience hard times, immerse your mind in God thoughts. Turn a deaf ear to doubters. Set your mind on a holy cause. Once you find your mountain, no giant will stop you, no age will disqualify you, and no problem will defeat you.
When I need journalistic honesty, I have to turn to Al Jazeera, why is that? One cannot even deny the Holocaust in Europe, question 911 in America (unless you want the Ward Churchill treatment), but the West claims they're all about free speech.
There is seemingly so little love shared in this world, it is not surprising that we ask, "Where have all the lovers gone?" Since love is the most vital energy for good that is within our power to utilize, it is puzzling why we so seldom do so. Love is just a useless, abstract idea until we put it into action. . . unless we are always actively living in love, we are not utilizing the greatest gift we have been given and which we, in turn, have to offer.
My mission is to kill time, and time's to kill me in its turn. How comfortable one is among murderers.
