No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent rebellion and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who says it.

Sometimes they are a matter of luck the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.

Autism is a neurological disorder. It's not caused by bad parenting. It's caused by you know abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments.

No matter how calmly you try to referee parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.

It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

There is an urgent need for a radical revision of our current concepts of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter and the brain.

It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body for instance to be over much occupied about exercise about eating and drinking about easing oneself about sexual intercourse.

Wherever you go no matter what the weather always bring your own sunshine.

I try to just make music that I love and if I believe in it that's all that matters.

Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade a musical idea no matter how innovative is threatened.

We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.

In essence String Theory describes space and time matter and energy gravity and light indeed all of God's creation... as music.

I need music. It's like my heartbeat so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what's going on - bad games press whatever!

No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way definitely.

The bass no matter what kind of music you're playing it just enhances the sound and makes everything sound more beautiful and full. When the bass stops the bottom kind of drops out of everything.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from everyone loves music.

It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.

That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.

I like to think of myself as a fairly educated human being but I'm a very uneducated actor when it comes to movies directors producers actors for that matter.

When you kill somebody in the movies it matters whereas in literature it can be allegorical.

I don't know what has happened to movies but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.
