Outside of being home with my family I prefer a crowd.

I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around.

I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it with my family while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country though I am an American and am loyal to my country.

Anyone who really studies Catholicism deeply is aware of the mystical nature of our faith. Even references to Christ's mystical body has connections to that principle.

From faith hope and love the virtues of religion referring to God there arises a double act which bears on the spiritual communion exercised between God and us the hearing of the word and prayer.

No lover if he be of good faith and sincere will deny he would prefer to see his mistress dead than unfaithful.

Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

I enjoy writing but I much prefer the experience of having written.

I find increasingly that the more extreme are the things going on in your life the more cultural reference points fail you. More mythical reference points actually help and you realise that's what myths are for. It's for human beings to process their experience in extremis.

I prefer to think of the audience as a single living organism with which I am sharing a singular never-to-be-repeated experience.

The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.

Of two pleasures if there be one which all or almost all who have experience of both give a decided preference irrespective of any feeling of moral obligation to prefer it that is the more desirable pleasure.

I must take issue with the term 'a mere child ' for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.

You got to fight for quality art and equality and all the things that we're fighting for the things we believe in. Choice and preference and all those things that we support. We don't want to give up that fight. You got to keep doing it.

To realize that new world we must prefer the values of freedom and equality above all other values - above personal wealth technical power and nationalism.

At every turn when humanity is asked the question 'Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss which one do you prefer ' we invariably choose the money.

I stupidly ignored education completely. I found it dull and I preferred to cause chaos and have fun. I regret this massively now.

Our solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education or some frame of reference can get. And for the ones who don't it doesn't matter because we have Homer banging his head and saying 'D'oh!'

In the government schools which are referred to as public schools Indian policy has been instituted there and its a policy where they do not encourage in fact discourage critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education.

I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest with visions to be realized than lord among those without dreams and desires.

We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.

I prefer design by experts - by people who know what they are doing.

After 1980 you never heard reference to space again. Surface the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism became the focus of design. Space disappeared.
