I maybe had a first love and had my heart broken but reflecting on it I don't think that was love. I think as I'm getting older and having more in-depth relationships maybe I'll experience it. At the moment I don't know exactly if I've been in love.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important and when you are going through different moments you can reflect and go 'I have been through worse.'

'Pure experience' is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.

There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection which is the highest. The second is limitation which is the easiest. The third is experience which is the bitterest.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First by reflection which is noblest Second by imitation which is easiest and third by experience which is the bitterest.

I reflect back 35 years ago and look how far we have come in America with our environmental policy to improve the conditions of our air and water and we have had some real successes.

Education begins the gentleman but reading good company and reflection must finish him.

Art is for entertainment purposes but it's also to reflect our dreams our hopes the present the future the past - whether it's good or bad.

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future.

When the soul drifts uncertainly between life and the dream between the mind's disorder and the return to cool reflection it is in religious thought that we should seek consolation.

It's cool to be a part of recovery. This is just who I am this is what I write about what I do and most of my work has been a reflection of what I've been going through in one way or another.

I'm a mirror. If you're cool with me I'm cool with you and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don't like what you see then you've done something. If I'm standoffish that's because you are.

We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal.

It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.

Mass communication radio and especially television have attempted not without success to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.

People naturally change a lot during their 20s so my songs reflect that progression.
