One learns more from listening than speaking.And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls.

High Romanticism shows you nature in all its harsh and lovely metamorphoses. Flood fire and quake fling us back to the primal struggle for survival and reveal our gross dependency on mammoth still mysterious forces.

America is still mostly xenophobic and racist. That's the nature of America I think.

There will be I think an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.

The fairest thing in nature a flower still has its roots in earth and manure.

To destroy is still the strongest instinct in nature.

In nature nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted bent in weird ways and they're still beautiful.

I was trying to do too many things at the same time which is my nature. But I was enjoying it and I still do enjoy it.

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.

The sun with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years and eight albums you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage talking to the audience looking at them and smiling that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now but there are still moments of awkwardness.

We forget that this music music made by my brothers and sisters is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities it makes me smile.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish really bad music.

I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.

Music is my life professionally for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.

Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that not knowing how to play music - well still not knowing how to play music.

The problem for me still today is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music.

People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder but because they're going deaf it has to be played louder still.

Country music is still your grandpa's music but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Even from a listening end now I'm still completely a fan of music.
