I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood and that's just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

I also had a mistaken attitude towards certain comrades.

Certain kinds of speed flow intensity density of attacks density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is I think easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude a common language.

I think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women certain attitudes toward sex certain attitudes toward race etc.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

I have a political attitude but I'm certainly not a politician.

The novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead.

Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care you just do it and it looks great.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when whatever be the attitude of the body the soul is on its knees.

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is our attitude.

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.

I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources like artists because art and music allow people a certain freedom.

For art to exist for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.

What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.

Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.
