Even when poetry has a meaning as it usually has it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance.

When I sing I have a sense of peace I feel like my brain turns off and I become the core person of who I am - the essence of me. I feel connected to whatever is out there. It's almost like I leave my body and get to watch.

Actually I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.

I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace because sports brings everyone together.

A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact he hasn't the ability to see a woman objectively speaking until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman.

Anyhow a philosophical turn of thought now was not amiss else one's patience would have given out almost at the harbour entrance. The term of her probation was eight days.

The gifts of nature are infinite in their variety and mind differs from mind almost as much as body from body.

Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel. These once unthinkable dosages will almost certainly bring on unwelcome after-effects. Their precise nature is anyone's guess though one likely consequence is an onslaught of inflation.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them understand them thoroughly. After that it will be possible for you to sublimate them.

I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything even nature.

I've only been to Ireland once and I felt I would wake up with voices in my head almost like music and that if I were a songwriter I would be very inspired.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years and eight albums you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

It's almost charity work what people have done turning other people on to my music.

Yoga is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.

I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.

I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

Music makes me high on stage and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.

The kind of pace that you want to use in a Western - just to acknowledge the land in the distance that everyone has to travel and the way things develop sort of slowly - it's almost the antithetical of what's currently going on in the movies you know.

You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies I'll watch almost everything.
