The human experience is something that connects us all, and music is a reflection of that.

Every character in a film is a reflection of real human experiences.

It is good fiction, so largely ignored now, that brings us so much closer to the real facts.

I’m somebody who’s super into psychology and analysis and the human psyche and the human experience. Other than just the purely enjoyable aspect of being on a nice, natural drug, I think doing such drug can be a very positive force in constantly forcing you to see yourself in a new way, and see and hear others in a new way. It really brings you back to square one. It deteriorates the ego, is basically what I’m saying.

In my own view, Hamas’ disappointment gets from an absence of legitimization by Israel and by a great part of the world. It is this disappointment that leads them to such ruinous urgency.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

I’m not even sure who I really am sometimes.

The Lord is infinitely good, essentially. He is growingly good, experimentally.

it would be a miracle on Mars. Our descendants on Mars will know the value of a patch of green. And if a blade of grass is priceless, what is the value of a human being?

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity

Wealth comes from industry and from the hard experience of human toil. To dissipate it in waste and extravagance is disloyalty to humanity

God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way

A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
