Dr. Stephen Maturin: Tell me this wasn't on my account. Capt. Jack Aubrey: No, not at all. I just needed to stretch my legs.
Jon Osterman: I am looking at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us. All we ever see of stars is their old photographs.
We spent a lot of time on that record with the sound and recorded it on the Paramount sound stage which is this huge room where the sound is reflected but the reflection is so late and comes from so far away that it doesn't blur the music but gives y...
I noticed this process of waking, and predicted with terrifying logic that one of these years not far away I would be awake continuously and never slip back, and never be free of myself again.
The British feel of blues has been hard, rather than emotional. Far too much emphasis on 12 bar, too little attention to words, far too little originality.
What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long?
We look at distant exploding stars called supernovae, and we've developed techniques to measure how far away they are and how fast they're moving away from us.
When the finish line seems too far away, remember how you felt when you were back at the starting line. Regain that motivation to recharge your momentum.
Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could.

When you rely on incentives, you undermine virtues. Then when you discover that you actually need people who want to do the right thing, those people don't exist because you've crushed anyone's desire to do the right thing with all these incentives.
Think about that for a moment. They died for you. Now take a good look at the life you're living and tell me: Did they do the right thing?
That's how you know you're doing the right thing - it's so hard you want to give up.
Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.
Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.
This seemed like one of those make-it-or-break-it moments where you have to consciously choose to do the right thing. Or be bad.
In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard.
Sometimes doing the right thing does take more courage, but the feeling it gives you deep inside makes it worth it.
You only live once. Trying to do the right thing for other people often doesn't work out, and you have to follow your own path in order to make things work out best for everyone.
In life, try your best to do the right thing. Have fun while you're alive. Take advantage of every asset you have. Don't take anything for granted.
I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised.
