The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

For me poetry is always a search for order.

I do not go in search of poetry. I wait for poetry to visit me.

Obsessed by a fairy tale we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.

Our science has become terrible our research dangerous our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.

If you do your research on hot springs all over the world they're usually places of peace. People even in warring nations and so forth they'll go and live in peace together around the hot springs which were always considered medicinal. I firmly believe in water therapy.

I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside it's a painful difficult search within.

There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end ofthe search for the ultimate laws of nature.

I've spent hours and hours doing research into Appalachian folk music. My grandfather was a fiddler. There is something very immediate very simple and emotional about that music.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

Music is love in search of a word.

You don't go to the movies to do historical research unless it's historical research about the movies.

I've just finished my 20th book this past year and I'm working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I'll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I'm an artist too.

I think the worst and most insidious procrastination for me is research. I will be looking for some bit of fact or figure to include in the novel and before I know I've wasted an entire morning delving into that subject matter without a word written.

Research is four things: brains with which to think eyes with which to see machines with which to measure and fourth money.

There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful.

A lot of people in the media and some everyday people really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

I was almost 8 years old when I was watching a kid on a TV commercial and I told my mom that I wanted to do the same thing. She said that I would need to get an agent and that she would research it.

The latest research has revealed that women have a higher IQ than men.

For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.

Alfred Nobel was much concerned as are we all with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.

The sort of thinking at the time was 'Well we're giving you access to medical care which you wouldn't otherwise be able to get so your payment is that we get to use you in research.'
