The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.

I appreciate the 'Surreal Life.' I had a really positive experience on that show and with those people. I found some love in my heart for religion again and had the support of a new family of friends. I wouldn't have had the pleasure of meeting those people if we were not all placed in that fishbowl.

We are a consumer company and our success is directly linked to our users trusting us. Therefore we have the same incentive as the user: they want to see relevant advertising so their experience of Google is positive and we want to deliver it.

I first came to think about media and politics in the late 1960s having observed some distortions up close but since then I wouldn't say that my personal experience has remained an important motive for my writing about media.

I'm not an old experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.

It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.

Poetry asks people to have values form opinions care about some other part of experience besides making money and being successful on the job.

Poetry brings all possible experience to the same degree: a degree in the consciousness beyond which the consciousness itself cannot go.

Poetry is innocent not wise. It does not learn from experience because each poetic experience is unique.

Poetry being the sign of that which all men desire even though the desire be unconscious intensity of life or completeness of experience the universality of its appeal is a matter of course.

Any long work in which poetry is persistent be it epic or drama or narrative is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them.

I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.

An experienced reader uses the poem as an agent of inquiry. This makes poetry very exciting unstable and interactive.

I have experienced healing through other writers' poetry but there's no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do I'll write a bad poem.

Everyone needs solitude especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation.

When you're going through something whether it's a wonderful thing like having a child or a sad thing like losing somebody you often feel like 'Oh my God I'm so overwhelmed I'm dealing with this huge thing on my own.' In fact poetry's a nice reminder that no everybody goes through it. These are universal experiences.

Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

Only the person who has experienced light and darkness war and peace rise and fall only that person has truly experienced life.

Those who have experienced the most have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.

Every goal every action every thought every feeling one experiences whether it be consciously or unconsciously known is an attempt to increase one's level of peace of mind.

My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She's made this experience much less miserable for me with her compassion patience and understanding.

Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.

Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience hard work chastity and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.

I'm a parent especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich that's what you dip into.
