We need to remember that politics is all about people not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.
There is probably a perverse pride in my administration... that we were going to do the right thing even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who's occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can't be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.
Poetry seems to sink into us the way prose doesn't. I can still quote verses I learned when I was very young but I have trouble remembering one line of a novel I just finished reading.
Poetry was invented as an mnemonic device to enable people to remember their prayers.

Poetry remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art.
I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry that is prose = words in their best order - poetry = the best words in the best order.
Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.
To this day I don't ever remember seeing a pet inside Moscow I never saw anyone carrying a dog or leading a dog. Err I finally saw a a pet some years later in Kiev so I thought that life must have been different.

In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
If you remember you just have one constituent and that's God himself and if you try to please him I think you usually come with a lot steadier pace and a lot more peace in your life.
Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as our prince of peace of civil rights. We owe him something major that will keep his memory alive.
Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures peace is our gift to each other.

I'm concentrating on staying healthy having peace being happy remembering what is important taking in nature and animals spending time reading trying to understand the universe where science and the spiritual meet.
I remember a hundred lovely lakes and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it as upon a thread of silk opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets.
There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.
In middle school I really didn't have music but in high school I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.
I remember when I was coming up the music stores where you could get guitar strings was where I got my records from. Now the place where you get your records from is where you can get your DJ mats and your mixers.
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
We live in the mind in ideas in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets - we remember only.
I had the standard movie geek childhood because for as long as I can remember all I wanted to do was make movies.
