Sometimes, in order for things to get better, they have to end - even if it's momentarily.
The English king's power was curbed by Parliament, though that wasn't always a good thing, as politicians often behave no better than monarchs - there are just more of them.
There's all this talk of music needing a monetary value, this ownership of music, even that it needs a physical form. But intrinsically... it's music. It should be better than that.
Not everyone in Santa Monica is a well-heeled, juice-cleansing, Prius-driving yogini, but for better or worse, that is the city's dominant chord.
Instead of abandoning competition and giving banks protected monopolies once again, the public would be better served by making it easier to close banks when they get into trouble.

I will be better in Monte Carlo than I was in Phoenix. If I can't win maybe I will lead 50 laps.
If a song is funny and absurd, and it sounds great, it's just going to be that much funnier. And there's no better example of that than 'Monty Python.'

It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest.
I'm not sure who has the right to say that you have better taste than somebody else, because essentially what you're doing is calling millions of people morons.
Everyone makes pesto in a food processor. But the texture is better with a mortar and pestle, and it's just as fast.
My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.
The only thing that scares me in the tech area is that it moves so fast that you have to be ready to invest in 20 things. Because if you just invest in one, next week, somebody has a better mousetrap, and you get taken to the cleaners.
Bottom line: government shouldn't be a bottleneck for entrepreneurs looking to design a better mousetrap.
If you build a better mousetrap, regardless of your marketing budget, the world will beat its own path to your door.
I think it better that in times like these a poet's mouth be silent, for in truth we have no gift to set a statesman right.
