We were taking collections for people with AIDS in New York around Easter.

Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs rising or falling grasping at kisses and toys advancing boldly sudden to take alarm retreating to the corner of arm and knee eager to be reassured taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree.

Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work taking risks trying new things. If the door opens go through it. Always go forwards.

Look I eat really well and I work out but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated.

Believe that with your feelings and your work you are taking part in the greatest the more strongly you cultivate this belief the more will reality and the world go forth from it.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

Women are repeatedly accused of taking things personally. I cannot see any other honest way of taking them.

I'm 18 in this album. I'm not losing fans and I'm not disrepecting women but you reach the maturity of taking it to the next level with a girl. It was only necessary for me to have at least one song like that.

Yes it's a man's world but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task but it's not.

I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

I'm taking one thing at a time. With the children and launching my solo career it would drive me to a nervous breakdown if I tried to organise a wedding on top of that.

We had good white friends who advised us against taking the war path. My friend and brother Mr. Chapman told us just how the war would end.

The three-year-old who lies about taking a cookie isn't really a liar after all. He simply can't control his impulses. He then convinces himself of a new truth and eager for your approval reports the version that he knows will make you happy.

It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

With any work worth its salt you have to trust the author enough to take its measure. And if you apply too many preconceptions you are not taking its measure.
