I'd say the most dangerous thing I've ever done is probably bungee jumping in Thailand.
If forced to choose between the penitentiary and the White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you.
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit.
Well, let me, first of all, say, that as a microtonal composer, I've never been much of a theorist.
There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.
I think it's inevitable that there will be Earthlings establishing a presence on Mars. And I would say that it would certainly take place by 2050 or shortly thereafter.

A picture can say a thousand words but maybe not the correct ones.
Mysteries and thrillers are not the same things, though they are literary siblings. Roughly put, I would say the distinction is that mysteries emphasize motive and psychology whereas thrillers rely more heavily on action and plot.
Golf would be my ticket somewhere, I told myself. I just couldn't say where it would lead me.
Obviously, the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing, I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.
I'm very ticklish. They say being tickled is a form of torture.
After the election of George McGovern in 1972 as a peace candidate - I should say his election to the nomination of the Democratic Party - the party changed the rules to steeply tilt that playing field, creating superdelegates and Super Tuesdays that make it very hard for a grassroots campaign to prevail.
We say that time passes, time goes by, and time flows. Those are metaphors. We also think of time as a medium in which we exist.
