I did not want to be a tree a flower or a wave. In a dancer's body we as audience must see ourselves not the imitated behavior of everyday actions not the phenomenon of nature not exotic creatures from another planet but something of the miracle that is a human being.

In our music in our everyday life there are so many negative things. Why not have something positive and stamp it with blackness?

It's not like I just have to go to Washington and go to the White House everyday and go to the same press conference at 10 in the morning and then be briefed at 4 in the afternoon and then get a story on at 6.

I usually decide what to wear in the morning but sometimes I'll have a favorite coat or sweater or shoes and I'll wear them everyday for a week!

A lot of people in the media and some everyday people really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

Prior to penicillin and medical research death was an everyday occurrence. It was intimate.

People used to say my son looked like a Mexican Biggie. And when he was first born memories of Biggie... you know we didn't always have the greatest days. For at least half the length of our marriage we were separated so everyday was definitely not a good day.

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind or whether to act and in acting to live.

When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons it's merely a routine everyday occurrence in Russia and hardly anyone has any sympathy.

The legal system is often a mystery and we its priests preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens.

I love the work I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me it's like learning everyday.

But the basic Taoism that we are concerned with here is simply a particular way of appreciating learning from and working with whatever happens in everyday life.

Woodrow Wilson called for leaders who by boldly interpreting the nation's conscience could lift a people out of their everyday selves. That people can be lifted into their better selves is the secret of transforming leadership.

Dr. King's leadership reaffirmed the promise of our democracy: that everyday people working together have the power to change our government and our institutions for the better.

The implications of these considerations justify the statement that all empirically verifiable knowledge even the commonsense knowledge of everyday life - involves implicitly if not explicitly systematic theory in this sense.

You can find heroism everyday like guys working terrible jobs because they've got to support their families. Or as far as humor the things I see on the job on the street are far funnier than anything you'll ever see on TV.

It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important others not and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies and that's where I found my material in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired you don't come home your best self.

Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home so there's more of them.

Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.

Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
