The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.
That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information, and indigestible glut of information, and less and less understanding.
Our economy's growth functions by inciting us to produce more and more with each passing year. In turn, we require cultural forms to enable us to sort through the glut, and our rituals are once again directed towards the immaterial, towards quality and not quantity.
Evidence of defendants' lavish lifestyles is often used to provide a motive for fraud. Jurors sometimes wonder why an executive making tens of millions of dollars would cheat to make even more. Evidence of habitual gluttony helps provide the answer.
All living things are gnarly, in that they inevitably do things that are much more complex than one might have expected.
I once told a journalist that girls call me 'Kitten,' but I couldn't have been more sarcastic, and no matter how many times I've said that it was a joke, it still doesn't go away.
The musical differences are obvious: the Go-Go's are more punk, while my solo work is more soft pop. But they're equally as fun and enjoyable for me. I couldn't possibly put one over the other.
To win you have to score one more goal than your opponent.
Sometimes you surprise the goalkeeper and sometimes the goalkeeper surprises you. In my career, I tried to do more of the first than the second.

Willie Mays could throw better, and Hank Aaron could hit more home runs. But I've got enthusiasm. I've got desire. I've got hustle. Those are God-given talents, too.
No religion makes more use of color than Hinduism, with its blue-skinned gods and peony-lipped goddesses, and even the spring festival of Holi is focused on color: Boys squirt arcs of dyed water on passersby or dump powder, all violently hued, on their marks.
America was founded on Christians not trusting each other, and they sometimes seemed more willing to reach out to the godless than to someone from another sect.
I think some people who say they're not Christians can behave in a more godly fashion than people who call themselves Christians.
Preaching is to much avail, but practice is far more effective. A godly life is the strongest argument you can offer the skeptic.
I don't know what it is about 'Godzilla,' but as far as I'm concerned, the more versions of it, the better.
I'm one of the more pessimistic cats on the planet. I make Van Gogh look like a rodeo clown.
I'm loath to use my personal life to promote what I do, but at the same time, I don't like a journalist going away with no more than you could get off Wikipedia, where most of it's invented anyway.
It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?
More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.
