I want to do nothing chic, I want to have ideas before beginning a piece. Georges Bizet Religion is a means of exploitation employed by the strong against the weak; religion is a cloak of ambition, injustice and vice.

No one ever discovers the depths of his own loneliness. Georges Bernanos Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this [...]

So long as I confine my thoughts to my own ideas divested of words, I do not see how I can be easily mistaken. George Berkeley That neither our thoughts, nor passions, nor ideas formed by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what every body will allow. George Berkeley All the choir of heaven [...]

No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.

My work on human capital began with an effort to calculate both private and social rates of return to men, women, blacks, and other groups from investments in different levels of education.

The first year with the success that we had and let me point out that the time frame changes depending on which decade you look at it. In the seventies acts were kind of expected to do an album a year. If you look at the Beatles they were doing three a year. Gerry Beckley [...]

Unlike the expressionists, I have never been interested in renewing the world through the vehicle of art. Georg Baselitz I always feel attacked when I’m asked about my painting. Georg Baselitz I always work out of uncertainty but when a painting’s finished it becomes a fixed idea, apparently a final statement. In time though, uncertainty [...]

It is, I claim, nonsense to say that it does not matter which individual man acted as the nucleus for the change. It is precisely this that makes history unpredictable into the future. Gregory Bateson Language commonly stresses only one side of any interaction. Gregory Bateson Money is always transitively valued. More money is supposedly [...]
