Bosnia is a complicated country: three religions, three nations and those 'others'. Nationalism is strong in all three nations; in two of them there are a lot of racism, chauvinism, separatism; and now we are supposed to make a state out of that.
The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.
When I'm working, on sets or stages, my contracts specify in the rider that no plastic bottles be used. When I'm playing with my band, we all use metal and non-plastic containers for drinking to be ecologically sensitive and show others that this is the way to go.
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
What you see is not what others see. We inhabit parallel worlds of perception, bounded by our interests and experience. What is obvious to some is invisible to others.
We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.
In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.
One of the things that make Liars so fascinating after five albums, each one so completely different from the others, is that even though they play around with all the classic tropes of art-damaged angst-noise perv-rock, they exude a totally cheery and boyish enthusiasm onstage, goofing around with their keyboards and beatboxes.
We've learned that musical ability is actually not one ability but a set of abilities, a dozen or more. Through brain damage, you can lose one component and not necessarily lose the others. You can lose rhythm and retain pitch, for example, that kind of thing.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
For young players, classic games are brand new. For others, they are a way to feel young again.
Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
In Brazil, we think we can help by using our image, the fact that we are very well known, to help others. I think lots of footballers want to do something, but many don't know how.
I, poor creature, worn out with scribbling for my bread and my liberty, low in spirits and weak in health, must leave others to wear the laurels which I have sown, others to eat the bread which I have earned. A common case.
We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread.
Our own sorrows seem heavy enough, even when lifted by certain long-term joys. But watching others hurt is the breaker of most any heart.
All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost - the most legitimate - passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one.
Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.
