I also take pleasure in the so-called negative power in Grotjahn's work. That is I love his paintings for what they are not. Unlike much art of the past decade Grotjahn isn't simply working from a prescribed checklist of academically acceptable curator-approved 'isms' and twists.

The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.

I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.

I am ready to accept all accusations allegations anger - but I have to succeed.

I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I'm sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger or I'd have to accept that it happened.

It's a very difficult thing for people to accept seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

Shock confusion fear anger grief and defiance. On Sept. 11 2001 and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public's whipsawing stages of acceptance.

There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don't accept it and you're having a conversation with someone who does it's just one of those polite things where you don't question their belief in ghosts. You just go 'Oh yeah okay.' It's amazing to be able to have conversations like that.

And you know when I was growing up I knew I wanted to have kids but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41 42 I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on but even then it would be with a partner.

I thought about how we need to make children feel that there are times in their lives when they need to be alone and quiet and to be able to accept their aloneness.

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

If we take science as our sole guide if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable the old theology must go.

Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness and he who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone accept everything alone.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ accepting receiving resting upon Him alone for justification sanctification and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

We can no longer waste time and money. Every day more than 2 000 girls in America age 15-19 give birth - in the wealthiest most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.

I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience wisdom and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.

From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting.

A major advantage of age is learning to accept people without passing judgment.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man's adjustment to it the speed of his acceptance.

'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

Error is acceptable as long as we are young but one must not drag it along into old age.
