Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night and feel them. But do I see less or more?

I think permitting the game to become too physical takes away a little bit of the beauty.

Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.

The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business.

Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project.

Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

I've been called many names like perfectionist difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.

Photography takes an instant out of time altering life by holding it still.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.

We are stymied by regulations limited choice and the threat of litigation. Neither consultants nor industry itself provide research which takes architecture forward.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

Anger may be kindled in the noblest breasts: but in these slow droppings of an unforgiving temper never takes the shape of consistency of enduring hatred.

I share the anger but ultimately to govern this country it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people.

Allowing children to show their guilt show their grief show their anger takes the sting out of the situation.

You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry terribly angry about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates.

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.

The average session takes about one to two hours. It's totally amazing because when a person breathes they go through one stage of relaxation after another and every stage releases tension.

I love Prince Harry. Good looking and a bit of a rebel. Me and his dad are as thick as thieves and I knew Harry before I knew his dad so we've met a few times. I think he's amazing. And I think you can relate to him because he's made mistakes. He's cool.

It doesn't take money to have style it just takes a really good eye. Sometimes you can find amazing culinary antiques that will make it feel like an old French kitchen.

Theatre when it is at its best takes a lot of beating - the live experience and the shared collective experience of live storytelling is really special when it is good. Particularly here in New York because the audiences are amazing very vocal and very engaged and that makes theatre very exciting.

You can't play a symphony alone it takes an orchestra to play it.
