I presume that nobody will deny the positive aspects of the North American cultural world. These are well known to all. But these aspects do not make one forget the disastrous effects of the industrial and commercial process of 'cultural lamination' that the USA is perpetrating on the planet.

My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.

I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so ' no one says 'you're so moody ' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass and I'm very confrontational and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.

When times are tough constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world cooperation works better. After all nobody's right all the time and a broken clock is right twice a day.

Nobody likes you know the ugly parts of politics.

Nobody ever told me what to read or ever put poetry in my way.

I think poetry has lost an awful lot of its muscle because nobody knows any. Nobody has to memorize poetry.

Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre and installed instead as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise - nobody need read it but anybody can do it.

I beg Osama to stop warring. He is a Muslim and Islam means peace. Nobody wins in a war... I wish I were tapped in the problem about Iraq. I knew Saddam enough that I could have talked him into surrendering. But it's too late.

When I was elected President nobody asked me to negotiate between Israel and Egypt. It was not even a question raised in my campaign. But I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land.

The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize things that I said yesterday with nobody paying too much attention I say the same things after I got it - oh! It was quite crucial for people and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

You know I lose patience really easily I'd rather shop in the grocery store than in the department store. I can pick an apple like nobody's business.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage talking to the audience looking at them and smiling that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now but there are still moments of awkwardness.

Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio but you should never compromise who you are your values or your morals.

High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.
