In most countries, you have a monarch or some other principal person to whom its officers and its military swear their allegiance. Our officials in this country and our military swear allegiance to the Constitution. We say that when we say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
When it comes to the British monarchy, I prefer to be seduced by an image than presented with a real person. It's kind of a Warhol thing.
Monks are not expected to speak about themselves; the message is important, not the person.
I don't think it's natural to be a monogamous person.
I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.
I am the kind of person that wants to get up in front of crowds of strangers and perform monologues. To each their own.
The thing about a real economy is that it actually is like the game of Monopoly in the sense that when one person has all the money, the game is over. And in a game of Monopoly, of course, that's quite charming, but in a real economy, it's much more problematic.
Within one's own family, money is not the measure of things, unless the person is an absolute Scrooge. Only the most extreme kind of monster would put a price on everything.
As a German citizen, as a German professor, and as a political person, I hold it to be not only my right but also my moral duty to take part in the shaping of our German destiny, to expose and oppose obvious wrongs.
I'm kind of a morbid person. I'm very optimistic, but I also feel like I'm going to die at any moment. I feel very much aware of my mortality. I'm here, and then I'm not.
I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.
What happens at 50, more or less, you lose what you need to create another person, to sustain another person; you keep what you need to sustain yourself. And there's something wonderful about that.
I'm not a morning person, but I've become one as the result of having kids. The morning is my private time to spend with my boys.
I'm not a morning person.
I'm a really heavy sleeper. When I wake up I'm a terrible morning person.
Since childhood, I've never been a morning person. I need something exciting, out of my comfort zone, to get out of bed.
I am not a morning person.
I wish I was a morning person.
I'm not a morning person. I'm really not.
You really have to be a morning person if you want to be a teacher.
