Were it so, there would be no relationship at all. No real relationship goes just one way. There are always two active parties. We must have reverence and awe for God, and honor for the chain of tradition. But that doesn't mean we can't use new information to help us read the holy texts in new ways.

  • A loud noise will get your fight-or-flight response going. This, over the years, can cause real cardiovascular damage.

  • The obedient in art are always the forgotten . . . The country is glorious but its beauties are unknown, and but waiting for a real live artist to splash them onto canvas . . . Chop your own path. Get off the car track.

  • I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.

  • You can have whatever you want if you believe in yourself and keep your feet firmly planted in the ground.

  • I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

  • Just as modern motorways have no room for ox-carts or wandering pedestrians, so modern society has little place for lives and ways that are too eccentric.

  • Some men, like spaniels, will only fawn the more when repulsed, but will pay little heed to a friendly caress.
