In so much of politics you're not allowed to disagree with what's been agreed.

There can only be democracy when money is not allowed to be spent in Politics.

A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along?

The only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the Democrats allow the poor to be corrupt too.

Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.

I read as much poetry as time allows and circumstance dictates: No heartache can pass without a little Dorothy Parker no thunderstorm without W. H. Auden no sleepless night without W. B. Yeats.

But I can only write what the muse allows me to write. I cannot choose I can only do what I am given and I feel pleased when I feel close to concrete poetry - still.

I have been enlightened. I have fallen into poetry and it has swallowed me up.

I had art as a major along with English French and History. I had dance modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry which I eventually got published.

I think that's what poetry does. It allows people to come together and identify with a common thing that is outside of themselves but which they identify with from the interior.

Those who say we should dismantle the role of Poet Laureate altogether the trick they miss is that being called this thing with the weight of tradition behind it and with the association of the Royal family does allow you to have conversations and to open doors and wallets for the good of poetry in a way that nothing else would allow.

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

As a privileged survivor of the First World War I hope I may be allowed to interject here a deeply felt tribute to those who were not fortunate enough to succeed but who shared the signal honor of trying to the last to salvage peace.

I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.

That a man be willing when others are so too as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary to lay down this right to all things and be contented with so much liberty against other men as he would allow other men against himself.

To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed members pay on time and if they give you any crap throw them out. There's peace where there's order.

As a young boy I read 'Cheaper by the Dozen' and immediately became neurotic about my use of time. It taxed me severely but only for the next 50 years. But I think it also allowed me to discipline myself to sit in the chair and be a writer where one of the most needed qualities is patience.

No you're not allowed to be bossy when you're married. You have to learn compromise and compassion and patience.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Quantum computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes.

I am a leader by default only because nature does not allow a vacuum.

Bats drink on the wing like swallows by sipping the surface as they play over pools and streams.

I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear.
