Liberalism is I think resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.

I'm not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language though so I am always aware of every word's meaning or multiple meanings.

From reading a previous answer you know that I consider all those aspects to be part of American cultural myth and thus they figure into good American poetry whether the poet is aware of what he is doing or not.

The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does.

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being to which we rarely penetrate for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.

The myth of redemptive violence - Caesar peace and victory - is in people's bones so deeply we aren't even aware of it. You crush the opposition that's how we bring peace.

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind contentment grace the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me it was all about jazz.

Well I'll tell you I don't know how aware teenagers are of me. I think it really depends on the teenager and how well-versed in music they are and what kind of music they like.

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.

I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

Being the son of a filmmaker you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies but as a life.

I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses in stores it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.

I never want to make a film. I don't wake up in the morning going 'Ooh I'd really love to be on set making a film today'. I'm aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes.

I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems if you keep yourself aware of it you don't really have a day off.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 13 and it was something we weren't really aware of as a family.

My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them.

I've actually suffered from allergies my entire life. My mom had allergies so I was aware of what an issue they can be. Many people allow their allergies to affect their lives. As a mom with two kids and two jobs I just can't let allergies slow me down. It's a day to day thing that can really be remedied by finding the right medication.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

If we know that our own men are in a condition to attack but are unaware that the enemy is not open to attack we have gone only halfway towards victory.

Although awareness of cancer's prevalence in the United States improves and medical advances in the field abound pancreatic cancer has largely been absent from the list of major success stories.

You're not just going out there maybe sacrificing your own life. There's also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it.

My parents had an arranged marriage as did so many other people when I was growing up. My father came and had a life in the United States one way and my mother had a different one and I was very aware of those things. I continue to wonder about it and I will continue to write about it.

I remember a specific moment watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line and her saying to me 'you are going to have to learn to do this ' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life.
