The relationship of the toastmaster to speaker should be the same as that of the fan to the fan dancer. It should call attention to the subject without making any particular effort to cover it.

I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs unless they're extremely well informed.

Power is not an institution and not a structure neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.

Militant feminists are pro-choice because it's their ultimate avenue of power over men. And believe me to them it is a question of power. It is their attempt to impose their will on the rest of society particularly on men.

At any rate I can only see such a success having positive effects for everyone particularly as our anticipation of the World cup would only increase further.

Women are called upon to defend every bit of progress we have made against particularly virulent attack. But we must also hold out a vision put forth a positive agenda of what women need and want and then move forward toward that dream.

There's no such thing as an actor giving positive criticism to a director. The minute you say 'Don't you think it would look nicer...' that director's going to hate your guts. Particularly if it's a good idea.

If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together but I think when the prosperous nations and in particular the U.S. realize they're wrecking their own kids' lives there will be a mass change in value.

I don't personally try to balance my work because I operate under the assumption that anyone reading or watching my stuff isn't having a particularly balanced day anyway. But negative attitudes just amuse me more than positive ones.

Indeed our particular concept of private property which deters us from exhausting the positive resources of the earth favors pollution.

The challenge in working in politics particularly if you're working for a political party is that everyone's a messenger.

I didn't run for student council president. I don't see myself in any way in elected office. I love policy. I'm not particularly fond of politics.

We don't attempt to have any theme for a number of the anthology or to have any particular sequence. We just put in things that we like and then we try to alternate the prose and the poetry.

For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.

Poetry is its own medium it's very different than writing prose. Poetry can talk in an imagistic sense it has particular ways of catching an environment.

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.

When you translate poetry in particular you're obliged to look at how the writer with whom you're working puts together words sentences phrases the triple tension between the line of verse the syntax and the sentence.

I'm conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There's hardly a day that goes past on which I don't write poetry.

I still read Donne particularly his love poems.

In particular the efforts to reestablish peace after the World War have been directed toward the formation of states and the regulation of their frontiers according to a consciously national program.

Mankind will never win lasting peace so long as men use their full resources only in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace let us mobilize the potentialities particularly the moral and spiritual potentialities which we usually reserve for war.

Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.

Nothing in the universe is contingent but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you'd be the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs given the particulars of his or her own life and nature.
