People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.
Obsessions turn people off.
The obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.
Coming out of university, one of my obsessions was that in the novels I was reading, they seemed to be portraying a world that had a social fabric. People knew each other in 'War and Peace.' They went to all the same balls. These were societies with tightly wound, woven, social textures.
I have such love to the point of obsessions of people and their minds, and I'm constantly trying to find the beauty in things, and I think people are such unique and complex creatures.
It's always so difficult when you've left your kids to go to work every day - you want people to like it. I just agonise over it, but I'm obsessive because I love what I do.
I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive.
Planned obsolescence is not really a new concept. God used it with people.
People always worry that buying tech products today carries a risk of obsolescence. Most of the time, that fear is overblown.
My company survives because I've learned to respect the ideas of people younger than me and recognize when my wisdom is obsolete.
A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
There is no obstacle in the path of young people who are poor or members of minority groups that hard work and preparation cannot cure.
What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other... but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other.
The longing we have to communicate cleanly and directly with people is always obstructed by qualifications and often with concern about how our messages will be received.
People who face discrimination due to the color of their skin, are often obstructed by institutional barriers across our society - from education and housing, to employment and healthcare, to voting rights and the criminal justice system.
People will pay a price for putting political obstruction over progress in a time that is so critical and urgent.
In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don't really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it's horrifying. But that's just human nature.
The higher the level of people's perceived self-efficacy, the wider the range of career options they seriously consider, the greater their interest in them, and the better they prepare themselves educationally for the occupational pursuits they choose.
I never worry about people not taking my work seriously as a result of the humor. In the end, the comic's best trick is the illusion that comedy is effortless. That people imagine what he's doing is easy is an occupational hazard.
I am confident that you brothers in parliament will champion the will of the people over that of the occupier.
