We tend to think of politics as bad full of dirty tricks negative ads big campaigns but I am here to explore the original meaning of politics which is positive and has to do with balancing competing interests and looking for solutions.

No art form points like poetry to this originality of language as to its essential and abiding concern.

Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.

The experts who managed the original Marshall Plan say Afghanistan needs a commitment of at least $5 to $10 billion over 5 to 10 years coupled with occupation forces of 250 000 Allied soldiers to keep the peace throughout the country.

The limitation upon this mode of promoting peace lies in the fact that it consists in an appeal to the civilized side of man while war is the product of forces proceeding from man's original savage nature.

I created the Women's Federation for World Peace in order to restore all that woman originally lost. You American women don't need a man in the position of grandfather parents husband elder or younger brother. You only need the true Adam.

I didn't really see the British punk movement if that's what it was as wildly original because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973 really.

I'm a big kid I'm a kid at heart so I still love the classic family films such as the great Warner Bros film 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' - not the remake but the original. It's still one of the best movies hands down ever made and of course that goes back to the ingenuity of the characters and the storyline.

I think romance is a tool comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. I really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer move people make you laugh perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. I hate genre. I like movies that are original in their approach.

Labor was the first price the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.

Labour was the first price the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver but by labour that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.

I have lots of records quite a collection actually that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits ' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.

Millions of men have lived to fight build palaces and boundaries shape destinies and societies but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.

The greater intellect one has the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
