In the 21st century I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life regardless of race or religion.

Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish and one which because of its very catholicity grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.

The nature of catastrophe is after all reasonably unvarying in the way it ruins destroys wounds and devastates. But if something can be learned from the event - not least something as profound as the theory of plate tectonics - then it somehow puts the ruination into a much more positive light.

That's the way it is with poetry: When it is incomprehensible it seems profound and when you understand it it is only ridiculous.

By the general process of epic poetry I mean the way this form of art has constantly responded to the profound needs of the society in which it was made.

Aside from what it teaches you there is simply the indescribable degree of peace that can be achieved on a sailing vessel at sea. I guess a combination of hard work and the seemingly infinite expanse of the sea - the profound solitude - that does it for me.

When you're young you think that you're going to sail into a lovely lake of quietude and peace. This is profoundly untrue.

He who follows his lessons tastes a profound peace and looks upon everybody as a bunch of manure.

There is little doubt that we are in the midst of a revolution of a much more profound and fundamental nature than the social and political revolutions of the last half century.

Our observation of nature must be diligent our reflection profound and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined and for this reason creative geniuses are not common.

If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings.

Linguistic philosophers continue to argue that probably music is not a language that is in the philosophical debate. Another point of view is to say that music is a very profound language.

The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.

The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean and the instruments are little or bigger islands very beautiful for the flowers and trees.

I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.

Losing my mom at such a young age had a profound effect on my life.

The first few weeks of being a mom were profound not just emotionally but also physically. All the changes you instinctually go through are miraculous.

My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life.

Millions of men have lived to fight build palaces and boundaries shape destinies and societies but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.

Having federal officials whether judges bureaucrats or congressmen impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
