I know no subject more elevating more amazing more ready to the poetical enthusiasm the philosophical reflection and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety such beauty such magnificence?

There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.

My older brother Mike is an excellent trumpet player. By the time he was 12 he was playing around Kansas City in classical situations. He was already an amazing talent.

There are a lot of people using technology that are playing to a click with backing vocals already stuck in there on some computerized thing that runs along in time to the show so they have these amazing vocals that are only partly the guys on stage producing them at the time.

Well I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself that when I got on the cover it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.

I have two ideas for novels at the moment neither of them all that conventional but I'm not ready to choose between them yet let alone settle down to the process of writing.

As the only girl growing up among three brothers I was always afraid of being excluded. If there was a game to be played a sport to be learned a competition to join I was on my feet and ready. I didn't spend much time alone for fear that I'd miss out.

When I was in my early 20s I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is if you have nice hair already don't get a perm leave your hair alone!

As a child I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning and be off to work the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone my parents never coming in to wake me up.

I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many the camera alone would be enough.

Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?'

The man who goes alone can start today but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

Starting a new retirement plan for those below a certain age is something tens of millions of Americans have already been through at work.

Listen in England people are already writing their memoirs at the age of 23.

I remember when I was 6 years old and my brother used to go seek out guys that were 13 to come over and play football against me while he was the 'permanent quarterback.' I didn't know exactly what the age difference was but I was already playing against older guys.

One already feels like an anachronism writing novels in the age of what-ever-this-is-the-age-of but touring to promote them feels doubly anachronistic. The marketplace is showing an increasing intolerance for the time-honored practice of printing information on paper and shipping it around the country.

I am hoping for peaceful transition into a new age. Obama has already played a great role in initiating us into that vision. If he were to be harmed in any way it would spawn the birth of a million Obamas.

We're saying no changes for Medicare for people above the age of 55. And in order to keep the promise to current seniors who've already retired and organized their lives around this program you have to reform it for the next generation.

It is not the young people that degenerate they are not spoiled till those of mature age are already sunk into corruption.

Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
