The method of political science is the interpretation of life; its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.
For boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson of your life - the lesson of your utter insignificance.
I've been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.
I learned the significance of my own insignificant life.
I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life.
Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.
It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.
I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.
Somehow life doesn't always pay off to those who are most insistent.
The slow rhythm of the body, the insistent rhythm of the wit, were they becoming irreconcilable in modern civilisation? The sedentary life, frustration and irritability; work with the body, fatigue - and peace of mind.
I can love a person in this life only insofar as he tries to advance in the praise and service of God our Lord; for the man who loves anything for itself and not for the sake of God, does not love God with his whole heart.
Politicians are nauseating by definition... They can produce nothing, neither a loaf of bread nor a table nor a picture; and this inability to create value, this total inferiority, makes them jealous, vengeful, insolent and a menace to life and limb.
As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.
I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems... It's got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.
Don't put your love life on Instagram! It's nice to celebrate how you feel at a particular time, but don't get carried away.
Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.
In a modern and innovative society, where advancements are plentiful and communication is instantaneous, science and technology are a part of everyday life.
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.
My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea that you have to work hard for the things you want in life and never complain.
I had lost a clear sense of the vision and values instilled in me as a child and was no longer driven by any mission or passion. I made the difficult decision to pull back from the noise of my life and reinvent the way I was living and leading.
