I joined Yes in July 1971. I had heard Yes live, as Strawbs had supported them at a gig in Hull. I thought they were amazing - incredibly different.
We live in this miraculous technological environment, and yet our human behaviour is still governed by basic impulses from prehistoric times.
So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality.
What a mysterious thing madness is. I have watched patients whose lips are forever sealed in a perpetual silence. They live, breathe, eat; the human form is there, but that something, which the body can live without, but which cannot exist without the body, was missing.
I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.
In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual.
America is the greatest nation ever founded. The ideals are the greatest ever espoused in human history, and we just need the country to live up to them. But what I worry about are the 1 million black men in the prison system.
I try to live instinctively. And I guess I've always enjoyed living in a fantasy world, daydreaming. I really do think that dreaming and fantasies are very important to the human psyche and the soul. That's why I want to act.
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I been able to live without you.
It is our historical experience, that Hungary can only live in wealth and safety if Berlin, Moscow, and Ankara are on our side and also interested in our success - even if we do not always agree on certain questions.
More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World.
I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.
America is a hurricane, and the only people who do not hear the sound are those fortunate if incredibly stupid and smug White Protestants who live in the center, in the serene eye of the big wind.
I'm a biographer; I can live with a little hyperbole.
I live in a constant state of hyperbole.
Everybody is a hypocrite. You can't live on this planet without being a hypocrite.
I often find it maddening to live in America, in a way that is both amusing and horrifying to me. America clings to versions of itself that are absolutely hypocritical. I can't shake my outrage at it, so I write about it.
When you live in hysteria, people start thinking emotionally.
