Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me seeing another part of the entertainment industry.
Certainly I've had the experience of thinking a person was one thing and finding out they were another.
I don't think people should have boundaries put on them by themselves or society or another gender because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.
I eventually became proud of my strikeouts because each one represented another learning experience.
Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.
Some writers can only deal with childhood experience because it's complete. For another kind of writer life goes on and he's able to keep processing that as well.
Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself and your imagination and experience but actually in the end you're not playing yourself.
Another way of judging the value of a prophet's religious experience therefore would be to examine the type of manhood that he has created and the cultural world that has sprung out of the spirit of his message.
The more you are getting older you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage because of your long experience you can use it.
The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.
Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry they should first examine their consciences and ask themselves with how many people and on how many occasions they have genuinely and profoundly shared some experience with another.
The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces but which all experience refutes.
Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.
Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.
Never never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.
We have to restore power to the family to the neighborhood and the community with a non-market principle a principle of equality of charity of let's-take-care-of-one-another. That's the creative challenge.
Having yet another vote on refinery legislation that uses high oil prices as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and to give more legislative gifts to the oil industry is misguided in the extreme.
I've always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and initiatives in that area. But I'm willing to set priorities. If we have to make reductions in one place we'll have to-in order to increase another place I'm willing to do that.
We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another.
Of course the EU and member states must work to ensure that people moving from one country to another understand their obligations and their rights in areas like health road safety and further education.
I will continue my activities related to education in one way or another. I certainly would have at the top my agenda with respect to education the need to do much better with modern educational technology.
I had never done anything with blue screen before or prosthetics or anything like that. Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame for me. It was another world completely. But to be honest I basically did it so that I could have the ears. I thought they would really work with my bare head.Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing has no education no money lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier. And despite the fact that he suffers one tragedy and one setback after another through sheer force of will he becomes something extraordinary: not only the president but the person who almost single-handedly united the country.
