For me Twitter works best as a way of taking pictures of being stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. If people really want to read really funny quips about life parenting and pop culture then by all means read Michael Ian Black's tweets.
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
To enter by reason means to realize the essence through instruction and to believe that all living things share the same true nature which isn't apparent because it's shrouded by sensation and delusion.
Our observation of nature must be diligent our reflection profound and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined and for this reason creative geniuses are not common.
Nature never makes any blunders when she makes a fool she means it.
The primary and most beautiful of Nature's qualities is motion which agitates her at all times but this motion is simply a perpetual consequence of crimes she conserves it by means of crimes only.
There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over the wound is closed and healed done with.
As a means of contrast with the sublime the grotesque is in our view the richest source that nature can offer.
Rest is not idleness and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day listening to the murmur of the water or watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means a waste of time.
Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.
It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development who love good music good books good pictures good plays good company good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.
I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round we eat a pizza and we're really lazy and we play PlayStation.
Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects in the world.
I don't like country music but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music denigrate means 'put down'.
I was going to make movies. I was the one in the family who was always rolling the video camera making movies of my brothers around town and then screening them for my parents. I still would love to make movies someday... that's something that really means a lot to me and I know I'll have the chance to do it one day.
My fans mean everything to me - especially the sisters! When you're on 'The View' or you're doing movies and stuff you're a little bit insulated. It means so much to me when a woman comes up to me and says 'Sherri you said what I feel.' That just means so much to me to know that I have that support.
When I meet gay fans out and about they're so great to talk to - and I'm big on hugging because I'm from the Midwest. They're just so energetic and loving. I'm proud to have those fans and their support means a lot to me. I don't want just girls coming to my movies I want guys to come too!
When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.
The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire.
I always leave that for other people to decide because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.
My first care the following morning was to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.
I remember being at school during morning meeting and looking around at everybody 350 kids saying a prayer. We're all very young and no one knows what it means and I remember feeling strange that people were just repeating words that they didn't understand. I refused to participate. For some reason I always rejected it but respectfully.
