Being 'contented' ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.
Being naked approaches being revolutionary; going barefoot is mere populism.
We're actually able to approve pipelines at a time when everyone wants protection of the environment. We're being able to show that we get people's fears, and there are constructive ways of allaying them - and not just ways to lash out and give a big kick to the system.
You don't realize you're vying for the approval of everyone so much until being yourself is not approved of.
Elections should be held on April 16th- the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.
Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.
Hip Hop is an idea. It is the pursuit of one's authentic being through the arts. It is not a physical thing; it is an attitude - even an aptitude.
There is no less invention in aptly applying a thought found in a book, than in being the first author of the thought.
India continues to be guided by the principles of being non-interfering, non-prescriptive, and non-judgemental. In other words, India remains ready to provide any support but strongly believes that it is for the Arab countries to decide their destiny without any external interference or diktats from outside.
All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
GYBE are among my, erm, two favourite Montreal bands, Arcade Fire being the other.
I keep being surprised by the amount of archaeological sites and features that are left to find all over the world.
I've never really seen archaeology as being any different from history. What I love are the stories of human beings that were around 1,000 years ago and how they lived - archaeology is another aspect to that.
The archetypal No. 10 is a skillful player who is more interested in being in possession than tracking to get the ball back.
The whole film is about people being convinced that they can reduce themselves to their archetypes.
I'd have no trouble being the barbecue kingpin of America. I'd just add it to all the other things I am: jazz musician, carpenter, architect, engineer and revolutionary.
Being around people like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack, all these greats, I was taught to listen and observe.
But I'm really into old music - bluesy, soulful singers, like Etta James, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin. I wouldn't have minded being born in the 1960s!
Ronda Rousey, arguably... I mean, she might've been the one that actually started the whole 'Divas Revolution' by being so awesome in UFC.
I love the idea of being an Aries.
