I live, like every real man, in my work.
I have a bold plan to break from the Bloomberg years, and end the 'Tale of Two Cities' by providing real opportunity to all New Yorkers, no matter where they live.
The real question is whether the federal government should be in the business of redistributing wealth to equalize the economic status of every state, including states where not many people, for whatever reason, have chosen to live. That type of redistribution is a distortion of our economy.
I try to live with the idea that karma is a very real thing. So I put out what I want to get back.
There is real value in sharing moments that don't live forever.
This strange business of what it is to be a writer is this increasingly insane world in which we live, in which surrealism, it seems, is the new realism.
The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on Earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.
For most of human history, the main goal of states has been to conquer land and to achieve glory for their rulers, usually at others' expense. Then in recent decades it was all about GDP. It's only in very recent history that rulers have been willing to commit themselves to helping their citizens live happier lives.

Candidates don't have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy.
While I used to make my living principally as a record producer, as time went on, I had to depend more and more on my live performances because of the evolution of the record industry, which has de-emphasized what made it possible to make a living.
If I had to live on record sales, I'd be pushing up the daisies.
Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.
I do pay performance royalties on others' songs I perform live, but I'm not recording these songs and putting them up for sale.
I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.
We no longer have to capture the 'real world' and recreate it online. We simply live and communicate at the same time.
If what you're talking about is seeing someone perform, then I'll have to say that in the rhythm-and-blues side of things, seein' Otis Redding live was it, you know?
Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last.
Our Redeemer took upon Himself all the sins, pains, infirmities, and sicknesses of all who have ever lived and will ever live.
We have to rediscover the eternal values and then live them out.
