No civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law.
I have a very long relationship with America. My mother grew up there and I felt to some extent that I partly belong there. I was schooled there briefly for about a year.
I'm finding that I tend to be one of those people who gets into very committed, long-term relationships, and then I really focus on that relationship and not so much myself.
The secret to a long-lasting relationship is perpetually imagining the worst. It's a world view tracing back to my Eastern European ancestry and one I draw upon regularly.
I like to swim a lot, while Stjepan likes to take long walks with girls. He's the very romantic type. Yes, musicians are romantic.
Every once in a while, you live long enough to get the respect that people didn't want to give while you were trying to become a senior citizen.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
You achieve long-term success step by step. Try to achieve your goals one at a time, like you do target practice.
I'm a mum, so my wardrobe consists of sweaters and jeans. As long as I don't leave the house forgetting my jeans, I count that as a fashion success.
Action leads to Attention. that in the short-term releases Rewarding brain chemicals and in the long term improves reproductive success.
When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
Success in America - what I find with my homeland, nothing lasts very long. Europe is different. You're right there with them until you come back.
American society as a whole can never achieve the outer-reaches of potential, so long as it tolerates the inner cities of despair.
I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.
I love writing, but I have that E. E. Cummings idea that as long as you stay inside the rules of your own world, it doesn't matter what it is.
I love to create interesting textures with language. You can do it as long as it seems like a discovery.
In my heart, I really don't care who you love, same sex or not; as long as you have the ability to love, that's the important thing here.
I've been painting and drawing and taking pictures as long as I've been writing music - and I've actually been drawing longer than I've been writing music.
If we don't invest now in so-called priority neighbourhoods with music classes, athletic facilities, and skills training and mentoring, we will all pay more in the long run.
I've been into music for a long time. I started playing drums when I was 8 and piano when I was 10, then bass and guitar when I was 18.
I've come to the conclusion that a long, personal relationship is next to impossible for me. Ultimately, music is a possessive mistress.
