In writing the history of a disease, every philosophical hypothesis whatsoever, that has previously occupied the mind of the author, should lie in abeyance.
2014 is a year I'll remember for a long time - it was definitely a breakthrough in my mind as well. Standing on the top step of the podium a few times was icing on the cake.
For a while, I loved everything about it, every single aspect of what was supposed to be a job. The training - I loved to train. I loved the traveling. I dug being in the locker room. I didn't mind icing and heat. I dug it. It was like, 'Cool. I'd rather do this than anything.'
I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.
It is in college that one gathers confidence as the mind is open to ideologies.
Political ideology can corrupt the mind, and science.

Iggy Pop, or should I say Iggy's people, had reached out to me saying he was a True Blood fan, and if any opportunities come up, to please keep Iggy in mind. We sent Iggy the demo of 'LB&R'. He loved it and said, 'Sign me up.'
If you look at an illuminated manuscript, even today, it just blows your mind. For them, without all the clutter and inputs that we have, it must have been even more extraordinary.
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
Good taste is the modesty of the mind; that is why it cannot be either imitated or acquired.
No one repeats a word I say without imitating my voice; it drives me out of my... mind.
My height is immaterial; it's my heart and mind which count.
My opinion, my conviction, gains immensely in strength and sureness the minute a second mind as adopted it.
I've been immersed in it too long. My spirit is wobbly and my mind is confused. The hurt has become too great.
You all know the reasons which have impelled me to renounce the throne. But I want you to understand that in making up my mind I did not forget the country or the empire, which, as Prince of Wales and lately as King, I have for twenty-five years tried to serve.
Discipline strengthens the mind so that it becomes impervious to the corroding influence of fear.
