I don't care whether people like me or dislike me. I'm not on earth to win a popularity contest. I'm here to be the best human being I possibly can be.

Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth.

Being nerdy just means being passionate about something including everyone - the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is whether it's sports or gaming or technology or fashion or beauty or food or whatever.

I thought of Paris as a beauty spot on the face of the earth and of London as a big freckle.

No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty.

I love the game it's the greatest game on earth that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.

If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty and joy it will in the end not produce food either.

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.

'Beauty is truth truth beauty ' - that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.

If you're looking for can-do earthy-crunchy attitude then you've got to go to Wisconsin.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

I choose films for their artistic value. I don't need a mansion or a Jaguar. When I leave this Earth I won't take any money with me. All I will leave behind will be my art.

Thou art my single day God lends to leaven What were all earth else with a feel of heaven.

Music is God's gift to man the only art of Heaven given to earth the only art of earth we take to Heaven.

Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book If art doesn't make us better then what on earth is it for.

People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.

What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth thou art not my abyss!
