My faith isn't very churchy it's a pretty personal intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.

My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father meeting my husband and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

Even though people may be well known they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth marriage and death.

Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It's just that constant strangeness. I think it's a very real thing.

There's been times when I've had heartbreaking moments and I'm like 'I can't believe you said that ' or 'I can't believe you did that'. And it hurts it still hurts and it'll always hurt but I've never had somebody that I truly cared about just walk out on me whether it was a boyfriend or an aunt mom or dad.

I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.

That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.

And I love that even in the toughest moments when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom and courage and grace.

All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.

I'm not geeky but I have my geeky corky moments and then I've got some aspects of cool in me I guess.

A lot of those little things that I really like doing are just moments of cool articulation just little moments of phrasing that probably go over everybody's head.

Gratitude bestows reverence allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping and I locked my keys in my car which wasn't insured. My wallet was in there and I couldn't call AAA because I only had $7 in my bank account. It was one of those moments where I was like 'O.K. I literally have nothing right now.'

Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.

All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens small moments happen and that's what ultimately works the best for me.

That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the 'Oh somebody coughed in the background we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.

When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.

My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan.

The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now and I try to make the best of those moments the moments that I'm in.

My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset I hear my mother's voice and smile.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when whatever be the attitude of the body the soul is on its knees.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

'Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era ' the Whitney Museum's 40th-anniversary trip down counterculture memory lane provides moments of buzzy fun but it'll leave you only comfortably numb. For starters it may be the whitest straightest most conservative show seen in a New York museum since psychedelia was new.

Of the individual poems some are more lyric and some are more descriptive or narrative. Each poem is fixed in a moment. All those moments written or read together take on the movement and architecture of a narrative.
