I think the importance of doing activist work is precisely because it allows you to give back and to consider yourself not as a single individual who may have achieved whatever but to be a part of an ongoing historical movement.

With all the negativity going on in the world right now people need an escape. When you give them a hit record or a great record it allows them to escape for at least three to four minutes. They're not thinking bills or economy or immigration or war when you create that kind of ambiance.

So it allows me to travel I'll be doing that and running these great rivers and doing what I've done in the past without much purpose other than for the experience.

Writing allows me the time to travel and see the world which is what I always wanted to do. I'd really like to have been Sir Richard Francis Burton but it's the wrong century.

My goal is to ensure the Northern Border is safe secure and allows for the free flow of travel and commerce.

I support any procedure that allows photographers to express themselves whether that involves color black and white platinum palladium and digital technology.

The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.

But I really like hosting I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise and I love the spontaneity of that and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone.

Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.

I do love science fiction but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.

The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it.

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

There is the glamour side of it which allows you to meet great variety of people with whom you simply can have a good time but there's also the sad side of it that drags you into a superficial and artificial world.

Second this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.

Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race to grow and mature.

Those who desire to rise as high as our human condition allows must renounce intellectual pride the omnipotence of clear thinking belief in the absolute power of logic.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self the Soul the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
