Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building -- like Tower Bridge -- or a classical front put on a steel frame -- like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living -- not something added, like sugar on a pill.

Eric Gill (1882-1940)

Eric Gill

My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.

Adrienne Rich (1929-)

Adrienne Rich

Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.

Emile M. Cioran (1911-)

Emile M. Cioran

Give up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

Swami Sivananda (1887-1963)

Swami Sivananda

The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)

If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.

Martha Graham (1894-1991)

Martha Graham (1894-1991)

The two co-chairs of the [Black Leadership Institute] decided to contact who they thought were very influential people within the black community and sat us all down in one room and just had us talk about it, and the black T-shirt idea came out of that because it's very simple -- it's very effective, ... And from that, [the message] just spread outward.

I don't necessarily think it holds us back. But it's not one of the nicer [facilities] around now. There's not a lot to do in the area, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But every [Grapefruit League] game we play, it's a ways to get there. We're kind of off the beaten path. I think the closest games we play are in Kissimmee, and it's 40 minutes away.

[To meet that need, said Aaron Thompson of the Orange County Red Cross, the school board has turned over a closed middle school, which is being cleaned and equipped this week to serve as a long-term home.] We're hoping to consolidate all our current shelters into that one place, ... We should be able to house 600 or more people there, if that many stay.

Signing the Protocol, while an important step forward, imposes no obligations on the United States. The Protocol becomes binding only with the advice and consent of the US Senate. As we have said before, we will not submit the Protocol for ratification without the meaningful participation of key developing countries in efforts to address climate change.

Chuck D. ... deeply understands the profound impact Internet technology will have on bringing an artist's music directly to fans, as well as the enormous empowerment the Web provides artists to that end. Our relationship with Chuck D. and Public Enemy will serve as a strong example of the alternatives rapidly becoming available to artists on all levels.

We expect most of our noon clients to be 55 and older. Many older people are not comfortable driving at night. So this is a nice daytime attraction for them. Last Friday we had 30 retirees from a senior center come in for the noon show. Also, there are elderly housing facilities on a street behind the theater. Those folks live close enough to walk here.

Today, ABC advised the guild that it intends to pay residuals to performers based on the videocassette formula -- a formula that does not apply to this new platform. ABC's actions are flatly inconsistent with our collective-bargaining agreements and with labor law obligations and fail to fairly compensate performers for the use of their work and images.

It's a very good sign that the E.U. is taking advantage of this summit to draw closer to the Andean community of nations, ... It shows an awareness that trade of the 21st century will be focused on the Pacific. What we want is that the E.U. see us not only as an area to export its products to but as an area in which it can also re-export to the Pacific.
