Poetry is a succession of questions which the poet constantly poses.

The poet exposes himself to the risk. All that has been said about poetry all that he has learned about poetry is only a partial assurance.

I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.

The attainment of the economic aims of man presupposes peace.

I cannot think of anything more difficult than to say something which would be worthy of this impressive and for me memorable occasion and of the ideals and purposes which inspired the Nobel Peace Award.

Each religion by the help of more or less myth which it takes more or less seriously proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

Unfortunately religion like patriotism is easy to misuse for political purposes.

The very idea of true patriotism is lost and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. A patriot sir! Why patriots spring up like mushrooms!

Where there are large powers with little ambition... nature may be said to have fallen short of her purposes.

Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions.

Before I'd written movies I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.

Listen I think movies serve many different purposes from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.

Almost the only persons who may be said to comprehend even approximately the significance principles and purposes of Socialism are the chief leaders of the extreme wings of the Socialistic forces and perhaps a few of the money kings themselves.

We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But when I was around 12 my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'

The bill would ban human cloning and any attempts at human cloning for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.

The distinction between children and adults while probably useful for some purposes is at bottom a specious one I feel. There are only individual egos crazy for love.

FOR a long time the conviction has been dimly felt in the community that without prejudice to existing institutions the legal day of weekly rest might be employed to advantage for purposes affecting the general good.

One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York.

Every neurosis is a primitive form of legal proceeding in which the accused carries on the prosecution imposes judgment and executes the sentence: all to the end that someone else should not perform the same process.

Home schooled children frequently combine for many purposes - and they interact well. The growth of the home schooling movement means that more and more children are learning together just not in a traditional classroom.

Our democracy poses problems and these problems must and shall be solved by courageous leadership.

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.

I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news to information to knowledge to entertainment. How is it bad?
