Magicians lose the opportunity to experience a sense of wonder.

What's great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor we protect our dignity we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.

My father respected and admired my mother and was a person who was always standing by my side encouraging me to do more and believed in my capacity. So in that sense my own experience was very good in becoming an empowered woman. From early on I carried that strong message: 'You can do it.' So I never had any doubt that women can do a lot.

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

Given that religious faith is an intrinsic element of human experience it is best to approach and engage the subject with a sense of history and a critical sensibility.

There's a positive side to film and television the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you hopefully and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.

All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed or can be made to agree about facts of sensible experience through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive and over which the individual will and character have no control.

When a child comes in I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood ' and it knows it its consciousness knows it and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul I believe indeed they are.

Common sense is the measure of the possible it is composed of experience and prevision it is calculation applied to life.

Demands for equality for women are threats to men's self-esteem and sense of sexual turf.

In a society in which equality is a fact not merely a word words of racial or sexual assault and humiliation will be nonsense syllables.

As soon as man enters into a state of society he loses the sense of his weakness equality ceases and then commences the state of war.

We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.

We should restore a proper balance in environmental regulation and energy production that is based on common sense not political agendas.

And I know that the younger generation is doing things that are so ingenious. And for them it's not a matter of a political belief or an environmental stance. It's really just common sense.

Our work on light bulbs wasn't an arbitrary mandate. We didn't just pick a standard out of the air or look for a catchy sounding standard like 25 by 2025 not based in science or feasibility. Instead we worked with both industry and environmental groups to come up with a standard that made sense and was doable.

We assume that everything's becoming more efficient and in an immediate sense that's true our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.

Session musicians kind of respected me because what I was talking about made sense. That all came from an education. Believe me education does you more good. Maybe that's the reason I've been around so long.

I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.

I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

I ain't got much education but I got some sense.

Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history.

The formal education that I received made little sense to me.

We cannot create observers by saying 'observe ' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.
