In the frank expression of conflicting opinions lies the greatest promise of wisdom in governmental action.

Well the wedding in the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury was a fairy tale and there was a huge public impress investment of goodwill affection and indeed money in this Institution. It was a huge success at the time.

Thus the use of fiat money is more justifiable in financing a depression than in financing a war.

What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind.

War famine poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a thing to be wasted.

I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me it was kind of a dark depressing time.

We have been terrorised by what happened in America and we express our condolences to the American people who suffered from this unexpected catastrophe and a new world war.

Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.

Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

To the scientist there is the joy in pursuing truth which nearly counteracts the depressing revelations of truth.

The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.

I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.

Trust me the only real way to understand 'Chic' is in highfalutin terms. Our chord progressions were based on European modal melodies. I made those early 'Chic' records to impress my jazz friends.

For me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression.

I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which although he or she has long since left remains within.

The press is the hired agent of a monied system and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.

I travel a lot. If you look at my suitcase everything is extremely well-packed and well-folded people who travel with me are impressed at how organized I am. Some would refer to me as a maniac for this.

I always want to give my best and do the best I can. I know when I have sung my best and when I haven't. There can be stresses and hassles with time travel and press attention. I just have to adapt and find a way of dealing with it.
