Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day one should meditate on being carried away by surging waves, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease.
I don’t know why I performed well against Arsenal, but probably we prepared well, and it could be their football style as well.
Abortions can be, and frequently are, traumatizing, as are other invasive surgeries performed to the sexual and internal organs. All or any of these ‘violations’ can cause loss of vitality, diminished capacity for erotic connection and pleasure, and other symptoms of trauma.
I’ve recorded a few Bacharach songs over the years and performed some in concert and always felt they suited me.
I wrote my first play when I was nine. It was performed at Hampstead Theatre.
We are responsible for actions performed in response to circumstances for which we are not responsible.
We did sketch comedy, performed live improv, and then we made the transition to TV with ‘Impractical Jokers.’
I started out in the folk music world only because of the way my songs were written and performed, with just an acoustic guitar, but I always related to the rock n’ roll lifestyle.
I’ve always been a fan of old-time hymns and Scots-Irish dirges, though I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself an expert on the type of music that was performed in those days.
It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses.
I performed after 9/11 for relief workers down by Ground Zero. There were these men just coming back, and they were voraciously hungry. They were heroes, pulling rubble, and I was a new comic trying to go blue just so I could get some laughs.
I’ve performed pretty well in the games I’ve captained Australia in and hopefully I can keep it up.
‘ADHM’ is a very contemporary kind of film. Ranbir Kapoor has performed very well.
Early in my career, my 3-, 5- and 9-irons performed differently than my other irons. But I adapted and made them work.
I painted sets before I ever performed.
I performed six concerts all over the U.S.S.R. during the time of Gorbachev. The entire audience was Russian. There were no Indians. Period. The audience turned out in large numbers and gave standing ovations to all my songs. They knew each song. That was an amazing experience.
Music is a prerogative of those who are willing to spend time to study it, understand and love it, well aware of the fact that one life is not enough to improve just one single note of what has already been written and performed.
Liturgy and worship were never meant to be confined to the cathedrals and sanctuaries. Liturgy at its best can be performed like a circus or theater – making the Gospel visible as a witness to the world around us.
When we say gender is performed, we usually mean that we’ve taken on a role or we’re acting in some way and that our acting or our role playing is crucial to the gender that we are and the gender that we present to the world.
I had a lot of fun during all the performances, but the most memorable one was ‘Born This Way.’ Lady Gaga is one of our favorite artists, and I remember the Once in America had the best reaction when we performed that song for them.
I’ve always performed magic as a kid.
It’s a terrible thing to say, but I hated school. I’m very ADD, and my report card always said, ‘If only she performed to her potential.’
I learned everything along the way. I only performed five times before I was in the public eye.
No one else has performed in a play after they’ve died, and I want to be the first person to do it.
Trying to get my music performed live by bar bands was a self defeating experience. It really just distracted me from what I should’ve been doing all along, writing and recording.
As a song-writer I have always written with one instrument – either guitar or piano – because I believe that if a song is strong enough to be performed completely stripped down then it is a good one to go on and record.
We tracked ‘Domestic Sweater’ live as a full band. It had been a while since we had even performed so in doing so, a sweet innocence arose, as though we were playing in our garage again.
Once when we performed at a festival there were between 50, 000 and 60, 000 people in the audience we were so shocked. It was crazy.
‘Hamilton’ is, of course, closely tied to the Obamas because Lin first performed the opening number at a White House poetry jam.
There is no way in which we can retrospectively erase the Treaty of Vienna or the Great Irish Famine. It is a peculiar feature of human actions that, once performed, they can never be recuperated. What is true of the past will always be true of it.
You remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.
I have performed so much on ‘Comedy Night’ that people won’t have any doubt whether I can dance with a heavy body or not.
I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.
When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven’t really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way.
I discovered ‘Rite of Spring’ when I was 21. As a matter of fact, not with orchestra first, because it was still a work which was not often performed. Don’t forget that I was 19 in 1944, still the Occupation time. So it was performed slightly after the end of the war, in 1945.
I ended up performing one time at BET. I performed my record, like, four times, and the crowd was going super crazy. And Busta just happened to be there; he pulled me to the side and asked, ‘Are you signed to anybody?’ So we went to the studio a few days later, spoke, and then became business partners.
The first time I performed musically, I threw up.
I’ve often wondered about people that come to the profession late in life. I’ve wanted to be an actor since the first grade. I watched a play being performed by the third grade class, and it was… magic.
I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.
Most people don’t know that I am an accomplished dramatic actor… But I’ve performed in several Shakespeare productions including Hamlet, except in this version, Hamlet lives in an apartment with two women, and has to pretend he’s gay so that the landlord won’t evict him.
Socrates didn’t care to visit the theater, as a rule, except when the plays of Euripides (which some think, he himself had helped to compose), were performed.
eSpeed took the worst that the world could dish out, and it still stood and performed.
Benjamin Franklin performed a beautiful experiment using surfactants: on a pond at Clapham Common, he poured a small amount of oleic acid, a natural surfactant which tends to form a dense film at the water-air interface.
If I can’t sing them myself, there’s nothing better than writing songs for other people and watching them be performed. It’s kind of more thrilling than doing it yourself.
I go to church too, y’all. And I’ve heard it, too. And I want to say to all of our faith leaders out there that I understand that probably in my Baptist church in Maryland, it is not likely that there will be performed – in my church – gay marriages.
No TV show in history, no movie ever made – nothing you can imagine as being written or filmed or performed can turn a normal human being into a Dexter.
I think we’re always doing something for teenagers and youngsters because BTS originally performed itself as a socially conscious band. We always wanted to sell our performances like we did with our debut.
Look at her in ‘Tevar.’ Sonakshi has never looked more stunning. She lost oodles of weight especially to shoot the song ‘Radha Nachegi.’ Look at how gracefully she has performed the song. Very few contemporary leading ladies can carry off a semi-classical number so fluently.
You see, it’s actually very good that a human activity is performed very close to death, because that’s where life is. Life is, at its most valuable and most full, very close to the boundary of life.
Dre is someone I’ve looked up to since 1985 when he came to my college and performed with The Wrecking Crew.
Wrestling went from being sometimes comical to very serious, and there was a lot of depth regarding the vastness in which people performed.
When I first started out, I was really, really scared when I performed before an audience. I’d look over their heads.
Any time I’ve performed on one of the major stages, whether it be Covent Garden or the Paris Opera or the Bolshoi or the Mariinsky, those are really the top memorable moments for me.
We’ve had risk assessments performed by Harvard University, which said that even if we did have a small number of cases in this country that the likelihood of it spreading or getting into any kind of human health problem is very, very small.
Because impudence is a vice, it does not follow that modesty is a virtue; it is built upon shame, a passion in our nature, and may be either good or bad according to the actions performed from that motive.
