A whole generation of veteran composers has never taken a stand or provided an example and has produced in the music academies generations of docile workers for the music industry. What can you expect from downtrodden workers who see music as a type of profession, like stenography, and not an act of creation that by its nature is subversive?
I never had the high-paying job or the company car. It took me over a decade to pay off my student loans. I never had to worry about where to dock my yacht to reduce my taxes.
My dad was in a hospital for months. The doctors told my dad he would never be able to walk again. My dad beat all the odds. He came back and was able to walk and start boxing again. He went to No. 1 in the world at welterweight to fight for the world title. But he never had his chance to fight for a world title.
Most of my pictures are never published. I just document things I think are important. For instance, I've documented the gay pride parade from its first days.
Growing up, my mother and grandparents often talked about our family's Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation - what kid would?
And of course there is so much of World War II that is documented that we never have seen.
Because the Vikings never documented anything - they couldn't read or write - the history is always gonna be a little up in the air.
Researching 'Lone Wolf,' I was amazed at how thoughtful and intelligent these animals are. There has never been a documented attack against a human by a wolf that wasn't provoked by the human.
I'm never tired of going to the studio. I enjoy recording and documenting everything and trying new things.
The suffragettes were quite strategic about documenting their events, and there were some good photos. And we developed a roll of film that had never been developed before!
I've been very fortunate to dodge a nickname throughout my entire career. I've never had one.
I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway, so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
I've been shut down, run down, talked about, dogged out, but that never stopped me from the being the true me that's here and will be here.
I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.
Leaders are not dogmatic. They are principled and know that change is never easy, but when it's necessary, they must lead.
All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final.
It's wrong to treat Muslims as if they will never find their John Stuart Mill. Christianity and Judaism show people can be very dogmatic and then open up.
Something is better than nothing. Doin' anything for a man, there's investments involved, there's time and production. It's better to give him ten bucks and get a record out than to never record the cat.
Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done.
