But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

Travel which was once either a necessity or an adventure has become very largely a commodity and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement too.

Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry but by demonstrating that all peoples cry laugh eat worry and die it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other we may even become friends.

I suppose in a way this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters I've done wearing it. When the time comes it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American and a soldier?

I had become with the approach of night once more aware of loneliness and time - those two companions without whom no journey can yield us anything.

Don't be a time manager be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

In time it will become clear to everyone that support for the policies of pre-emptive war and interventionist nation-building will have much greater significance than the removal of Saddam Hussein itself.

Then not only an old man but also a drunkard becomes a second time a child.

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.

Who hears me who understands me becomes mine a possession for all time.

I'm thankful that I have lived long enough to become a legend and I hope I deserve it.

The distinction has blurred between young adult and adult books. Some of the teen books have become more sophisticated.

Before my teen years I was losing my hearing pretty quickly and I was getting very very angry. I was beginning to become an angry person because of that.

If we as a nation are to break the cycle of poverty crime and the growing underclass of young people ill equipped to be productive citizens we need to not only implement effective programs to prevent teen pregnancy but we must also help those who have already given birth so that they become effective nurturing bonding parents.

But when I was a teenager the idea of spending the rest of my life in a factory was real depressing. So the idea that I could become a musician opened up some possibilities I didn't see otherwise.
