Famous Quotes & Sayings

Barbara Kingsolver

For scientists, reality is not optional.

Baruch Spinoza

Reality and perfection are synonymous.

Azar Nafisi

What we search for in fiction is not so much reality, but the epiphany of truth.

Azar Nafisi

Every fairy tale offers the potential to surpass present limits, so in a sense the fairy tale offers you freedoms that reality denies.

Ayn Rand

You who prattle that morality is social and that man would need no morality on a desert island - it is on a desert island that he would need it most. Let him try to claim, when there are no victims to pay for it, that a rock is a house, that sand is clothing, that food will drop into his mouth without cause or effort, that he will collect a harvest tomorrow by devouring his stock seed today - and reality will wipe him out, as he deserves; reality will show him that life is a value to be bought and that thinking is the only coin noble enough to buy it.

Brian Tracy

The Law of Concentration states that whatever you dwell upon, grows. The more you think about something, the more it becomes part of your reality.

Brian Bosworth

You see 'awesome' and I see 'lost.' It's very easy to lose touch with reality when you've got that many people thinking you are more than you really are.

Boyd Rice

Nature is typified by strength; humanity by weakness. Nature adheres to an immutable order; humanity to an ever-increasing chaos. Nature recognizes no equality at any level of it's order; humanity preaches an all-prevasive equality and freely hands-out unearned "rights" in an attempt to make its doctrine a living reality. In short: humanity is Democratic, nature is Fascist.

Jane Hirshfield

Poetry's task is to increase the available stock of reality, R P Blackmur said.

Shamir

As far as long-term goals, one of my favorite artists ever is Tegan and Sara, because every single one of their albums sounds different. Or Beck. I want to be like that because I come from so many different types of musical backgrounds.

Jay Reatard

A single is really quick, man. You can get it out, and in two months have it on your merch table. And albums can take a really long time. But when you get done with an album, it's a lot more fulfilling.

Gordon Anderson

Dean Martin's albums for Capitol are among the most timeless vocal pop ever recorded. He was a great singer, with a unique, behind-the-beat laconic style that perfectly fit his devil-may-care personality, and made very astute choices as to material and arrangers. And perhaps best of all, he never took himself too seriously, either on record or In life! We're thrilled that he's a big part of our artist roster.

Jon Landau

Aretha Franklin's 'Let Me in Your Life' is one of the few recent R&B albums that places the emphasis entirely and deservedly on a voice. Many R&B producers have been making records on which the singer is outshined by the song, the arrangement and the sound.

Robyn

The music industry used to be able to control a single dance on the very smallest level of when people are supposed to hear it, and when they're supposed to start liking it, and when they're supposed to start buying it. And that's trashed, you know, that big machine that takes control and works albums for a long period.

Mark Salling

'Ten' by Pearl Jam is still by far one of my favorite albums and is a big part of what inspired me to learn guitar.

Rashid Johnson

Race, class, childhood experience, the books I found on my mother's bookshelf, the albums I found in my father's basement - these things are all part of who I am and will always be a part of my work.

Ricky Skaggs

These albums last forever, not just my lifetime but my children's lifetime. So it's important to me to make a good product. And when I put Skaggs Family Records on it, I want it to be the kind of quality that I'm proud of and the kind of quality that people have come to expect from my records.

David Gregory

I set up playdates, and I'm a morning greeter for the car-pool line. I also make albums with the family photos. When the kids get older and go on their way, we'll have all those pictures to revel in.

M. Wolfe

Our slogan is 'Money for Nothing, Checks for Free,'

Kevin Cosgrove

The one thing about Steve, he's got a tremendous motor. But he still has a ways to go as far as his checks and things like that. We're looking for the exactness in his play, and that's got to continue to develop.

Madame Stael

Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man's power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened

Phil Hardberger

Whatever we need to do, we're going to do, ... We're not going to wait for federal dollars to come in, we're going to write whatever checks that need to be written right now.

Alice Miller

You gotta keep that in check - you got to.

Michael Moore

Those checks will increase every year, and we're not limited to 25 years, ... Those payments will last forever, and ever, and ever.

Jay LaBonte

Unfortunately, those safeguards can actually help crooks in manufacturing realistic-looking checks on their computers. Some of these checks look better than the real McCoy.

Don Oberhelman

I'd venture to say there aren't too many other programs in the country where the head coach of a Division I football program checks class. And it's an eye-opener for those student-athletes, I guarantee you, when they're five minutes late for class and there's the head football coach standing at the door tapping his foot looking highly displeased.

Matthew Sweet

I got better money playing live and some publishing money - I still get checks from publishing. But the label was always recouping advances.
