It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
Millions of people are married. I've never picked up a paper and seen a headline that says, Man Gets Married!
Never Googled myself. I use a computer for market quotes and news, but I've never Googled myself. But I have visited their headquarters.
I only got interested in radio once I talked my way into an internship at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 1978, never having heard the network on the air.
After Nigeria, we are the second biggest black African nation. We are the headquarters of the African Union. We are the only African country that has never been colonized. This is perhaps the last surviving African civilization.
Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.
The three of us just try put our heads down and stay creative. The awards truly are just cake. It's one of those things that you never expect, but getting the head nod from either the fans or your peers, that's the ultimate compliment.
I've been fortunate enough to be headstrong, to be full of self-belief, and those things have never wavered for me.
I did find some time to go to a record store and check out 'Headstrong' actually in the racks. It was pretty cool; I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!
I always wanted to be a writer. Maybe, had I been brought up in another generation, I might have just gone into writing rather than medicine - which is not to say that I didn't also have a great attraction towards the idea of being a healer. Fortunately, I've been able to combine the two in ways I could never possibly have imagined.
Grief is like mending a knee. You can mend the knee and make it function, but the knee never actually heals.
For that story, I took as my subject a young woman whom I got to know over the course of a couple of visits. I never saw her having any health problems - but I knew she wanted to be married.
I'd never have guessed that, six years after Medicare introduced a drug benefit, it would still be forbidden to negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies. Health reform might fix that, but it probably won't.
We would be a much healthier culture if the government had never told us how to eat.
The facts of the fossil record never justified denying poor people a healthy diet. The facts of the weather record do not justify denying poor people affordable energy. And no set of facts, whatever they may be, can justify denying scientists - or anyone else, for that matter - the right to free speech.
You should never go on diet and must follow a healthy lifestyle.
Healthy people eating healthy food should never need to take an antibiotic.
I have never yet met a healthy person who worried very much about his health, or a really good person who worried much about his own soul.
Issues are never simple. One thing I'm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.
I hear people say it affected your self-esteem to be segregated. It never affected mine.
