In the beginning of my twenties, I started transcendental meditation. For years, I did nothing else. Every holiday, I went to courses. Meditation is a real simple instrument. You don’t need a long beard or a sari. It’s meant to bring you to yourself. It’s as easy as that.
There are many oral historians in America, but my books are made using the rules of novel writing. I have a beginning, a plot, characters.

How You Like That’ has Blackpink’s own color and it’s more powerful than the previous songs. We tried to put in pop, rock and hip-hop aspects in it. Orchestral sound in the beginning is very impressive.
November is Native American Heritage month, and a good time to honor the legacy of our ancestors, but every day we should stop to think about our country’s beginning and that the United States would not exist if not for a great deal of sacrifice, blood, and tears by Indian Tribes across the country.
I did not win and in fact I was called into the principal’s office for a consultation with my parents. But that was the beginning of my literary career.
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it’s a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so it’s constantly a mystery as to what you’re going to be doing.
It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion. If evil has a geographical place, and if the evil has a name, that is the beginning of fascism. Real life is not this way. You have fanatics and narrow-minded people everywhere.
That’s something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.

The model today is that as much as 70 percent of the financing of the picture would come from overseas. Now we’re beginning to run out of suckers, because there are not that many people overseas who are willing to put up more than half the money for a movie.
At the beginning, everything’s possible and everybody gets equal time, all the characters, all the ideas. You don’t know who’s going to be the main characters; they’re all fighting it out. It’s like kind of the best time in a way.

This is the real tragedy of America’s ‘Internet freedom agenda’: It’s going to be the dissidents in China and Iran who will pay for the hypocrisy that drove it from the very beginning.
I wrote most of these songs right before the end. A lot of these songs are about that. Even if it’s not direct, you can feel the beginning of the end of the breakup in these songs.
To this day I always insist on working out a problem from the beginning without reading up on it first, a habit that sometimes gets me into trouble but just as often helps me see things my predecessors have missed.
Defend an institution. Follow the courts or the media, or a court or a newspaper. Do not speak of ‘our institutions’ unless you are making them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions don’t protect themselves. They go down like dominoes unless each is defended from the beginning.
Apparently, my mother still thought I had too much energy so she signed me up for a local theatre group, marking the beginning of my career.
I’m starting to realize that people are beginning to want to know about me. It’s a jolly strange idea.

I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second.
Life is complex. You don’t have any person who is nice from the beginning until the end. You don’t always have the notion of redemption. The bad people don’t always pay.
Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we were making the first step toward disaster.
We are seeing the beginning of things. Web 2.0 is broadband. Web 3.0 is 10 gigabits a second.

The song, ‘Life is Better,’ is about hip-hop. It’s about my love for hip-hop. And, you know, I go through all the artists from the beginning to the end, you know. And, well, not to the end, but since the beginning to now, you know.
The necessity to conceptualise has to come very early on, and defining a vector of development for that film also at the beginning of the process will allow you much more freedom as you go along.
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
I think it’s harder for people than it should be. But as more and more of us become carbon neutral and change the patterns in our lives to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem, we are now beginning to see the changes in policy that are needed.
From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.
Things have never been easy for us, from the beginning.
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.

For me it’s absolutely necessary to start from the very beginning. I can’t think of coming and contributing something anywhere along the line other than the very start.
With a movie you’re creating from the beginning this particular work, let’s not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let’s just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art.
The most difficult and complicated part of the writing process is the beginning.
I think climbing is less a sport and more a hobby, and as such, I think everybody’s a beginning climber.
