Good breeding is the result of good sense some good nature and a little self-denial for the sake of others.

The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise are good nature truth good sense and good breeding.

The subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of the senses and understanding.

In wilderness I sense the miracle of life and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order.

I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes every four minutes.

I always want to write erotic music... Not only about the love between men and women but in a much more universal sense - about the sensuality of the mechanism of the universe... about life.

Great music is in a sense serene it is certain of the values it asserts.

When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.

I'm quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world really. So in that sense I've got a good balance of doing great shows of making an appearance every now and then and writing music and I don't really have to do much else.

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself in a sense in the mid 1960s really when I first heard composers like Terry Riley and when I first started playing with tape recorders.

Musicians are there in front of you and the spectators sense their tension which is not the case when you're listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.

When people in stadiums do the Wave it's the group-mind collective organism spontaneously organizing itself to express an emotion pass time and reflect the joy of seeing the rhythms of many as one a visual rhyming or music in which everyone senses where the motion is going.

I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.

Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.

When music fails to agree to the ear to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses then it has missed the point.

The scarcity of the music not only makes the music itself enjoyable but it also gives the collector a strange sense of superiority.

When you start using senses you've neglected your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.

I'm pretty horrible at relationships and haven't been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay.

Man maintains his balance poise and sense of security only as he is moving forward.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

My sense is I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

I want people to think about movies and how we watch them. Let them know it's okay to question the structure or how we're sometimes duped into a false sense of normalcy. Most of all I want people to question the old standard practices of 'This is how the structure of something should work ' or 'This is how a character must behave.'

I've been in enough movies to know that when you're on the set and you start shooting you're looking at playback and you get a sense of what it's going to be like.
