Then of course there are those sad occasions when a poet or a writer has not grown and one has to let them go because they're just not making headway. But we have a very clear personal relationship with the authors.

Putin has a lot at stake here and restoring the relationship with the United States and there are already signs as Sandy mentioned that he's moving in the right direction to begin to ascertain that their trade with Iran is not used for the production of nuclear weapons.

Clearly the Chinese know that we want a good relationship with them.

This is a very important relationship we have with Russia the relationship over the nuclear arsenal that they have obviously is important. They're a very powerful country.

Clearly once the student is no longer a student the possibilities of relationship are enlarged.

One thing you can say about nuclear power: the people who believe it is the silver bullet for America's energy problems never give up.

The oil companies regard nuclear power as their rival who will reduce their profits so they put out a lot of disinformation about nuclear power.

This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

Black power can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it.

I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy without pollution or global warming.

As a nuclear power - as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon - the United States has a moral responsibility to act.

All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk.

Those who desire to rise as high as our human condition allows must renounce intellectual pride the omnipotence of clear thinking belief in the absolute power of logic.

Your best creative assets do not occur unless you do a mental shift. You have to be in a positive frame of mind because inspiration is fleeting. I walk to work for inspiration and to clear my mind.

Nobody under the sun was like Madonna. She was positive and clear and wholly dedicated to achieving everything that she's achieved.

Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

Thus the focus on this main political goal must become more visible in EU politics and to achieve this we need a political impulse. It must be clear what the priorities on the agenda are.

But I think it's quite clear in my work that my orientation isn't political or doesn't come out of modern politics.

When I became leader I made very clear I was not going to choose the easy life. I have always taken risks. I don't like comfort-zone politics.

Forget sex or politics or religion loneliness is the subject that clears out a room.

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

But at the beginning it was clear to me that concrete poetry was peculiarly suited for using in public settings. This was my idea but of course I never really much got the chance to do it.
