My relationship with the Philharmonia Orchestra brought me many times to London and I will always reflect positively on that early period of development with them - their patience their warmth their dedication.

At the end of the day the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.

Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at you. It's not being unkind to you.

I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial.

In our music in our everyday life there are so many negative things. Why not have something positive and stamp it with blackness?

I have a huge breakfast every morning because I never know if I'll have time for lunch especially during Fashion Week. It keeps my mood positive all day. And my parents taught me to have tons of fruit and vegetables which I think helps my skin.

I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world.

For me being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she'll always find the positive in things.

I was brought up by a single mom in a poor town in Arkansas and while some aspects of small-town life were really positive - like the fact that everyone there is really sweet and hospitable - there is also this close-minded mentality and that naturally made me want to rebel.

People always accuse me of being motivational in a way like it was a bad thing but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment with lots of love in my heart and that reflects in my music.

Don't let people disrespect you. My mom says don't open the door to the devil. Surround yourself with positive people.

The most positive men are the most credulous.

Injustice poverty slavery ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals individual and collective a vast variety of them seldom predictable at times incompatible.

And that is why marriage and family law has emphasized the importance of marriage as the foundation of family addressing the needs of children in the most positive way.

You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive you're negative. You absorb absorb as if you must fill yourself up with love because you've got a shortage somewhere.
