Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties but in the hearts of men.

I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.

Nothing is wrong with peace and love. It is all the more regrettable that so many of Christ's followers seem to disagree.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent encourage going along and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

During times of war hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.

As I pass it I feel as if I saw a dear old mother sweet in her weakness trembling at the approach of her dissolution but not appealing to me against the inevitable rather endeavouring to reassure me by her patience and pointing to a hopeful future.

So when I do Chinese cooking I mix everything together then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out.

Patience persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Our behavior toward each other is the strangest most unpredictable and most unaccountable of all the phenomena with which we are obliged to live. In all of nature there is nothing so threatening to humanity as humanity itself.

Nature is by and large to be found out of doors a location where it cannot be argued there are never enough comfortable chairs.

But such is the irresistable nature of truth that all it asks and all it wants is the liberty of appearing.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

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.

Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It's inevitable.

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

There is nothing stable in the world uproar's your only music.

It is a wise tune that knows its own father and I like my music to be the legitimate offspring of respectable parents.

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.

Like anyone who goes to college you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.

I'm pretty horrible at relationships and haven't been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself the most comforting words of all this too shall pass.

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.
