We rarely think to mark the trail for others to follow. 'Live and learn,' we say, acknowledging the value of experience. We usually forget about 'Live and teach.'
Sting I've seen a few times, and he really inspired me in the sense that he breaks the songs down a lot and will take a different approach. He'll take an acoustic approach to them; he'll rearrange them for the live stage.
I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues.
The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts, but learning how to make facts live.
I live up at about the 2000 feet level on a five acre piece of forest that I built a small house on.
I live on eight acres out in the country in Nashville, and it gets creepy and foggy. It's the best atmosphere to write songs.
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.
If you see a bad live action film, what are the conclusions you draw? Typically, it is that they made a bunch of mistakes, a bad script, wrong casting. You get into 2D, and you get a few films that are not strong films. And what is the conclusion? That it's 2D? I beg to differ. It's a convenient excuse, but it's just wrong.
If you come down to it, there's only a handful of worlds that action films live in. You have your car chases, your gun fights, and your fights.
A live action movie is work, and an animated movie is you showing up in your pajamas once every three months, or in my case, just a splash of baby powder. It's not any kind of heavy lifting.
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.
I think the purpose of a piece of music is significant when it actually lives in somebody else. A composer puts down a code, and a performer can activate the code in somebody else. Once it lives in somebody else, it can live in others as well.
We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams.
You must become an activist if you are going to live the natural life.
Do you force your kids to pay attention to what's going on, or do you let them live their lives outside of it? My hope is that my child is a strong activist. That would make me most proud.
All work is noble; the only ignoble thing is to live without working. There is need to realize the value of work in all its forms whether manual or intellectual, to be called 'mate,' to have sympathetic understanding of all forms of activity.
To live well is to work well, to show a good activity.
