I would like to be a terrorist for music education – to make a complete reform, all over the world.
When I first went on the ‘Johnny Carson show’, the band did not want me, and Carson did not want me. If the audience had not received ‘Tiptoe’ so overwhelmingly, I do not believe Carson would have let me come over to be on the panel after the song.
Many years ago, it was my opportunity to serve as president of the Canadian Mission. There we had a branch with very limited priesthood. We always had a missionary presiding over the branch. I received a strong impression that we needed to have a member of the branch preside there.
Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party.
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
My parents wanted to light my artistic candle. But over time, the definition of ‘the arts’ began to stretch. And as I got older, they suddenly realized, Oh, my God, we’re the parents of Iggy Pop.
Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.
Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.
My first show was called ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed’ in ’92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, ‘What is this about?’
No one is different from the other. I’m very grateful that I have a diverse group of fans as well. We welcome individuality over here in my world, and I think that my fans can see and feel that.

If the whole of mankind is to be united into one brotherhood, all obstacles must be removed so that men, all over the surface of the globe, should be as children playing in a garden.
Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!
In my opinion, the battles over birth control and Planned Parenthood are primarily neither political nor religious. This is an issue of equality for women. This is an issue of women’s rights: Planned Parenthood is the most important private provider of reproductive health care for women in the United States.

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil… prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.

Good will always prevail over evil. I see that in me versus Klitschko.

We young Filipinos are trying to make over a nation and must not halt in our march, but from time to time turn our gaze upon our elders. We shall wish to read in their countenances approval of our actions.
My whole thing is loyalty. Loyalty over royalty; word is bond.
The Chinese have figured out that they have a giant environmental problem. Folks in Beijing, some days, literally can’t breathe. Over a million Chinese die prematurely every year because of air pollution.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.
The crowd, still shouting, gives way before us. We plough our way through. Women hold their aprons over their faces and go stumbling away. A roar of fury goes up. A wounded man is being carried off.
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.
I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.
Either you change with the times or you get rolled over.
This is courtship all the world over – the man all tongue; the woman all ears.
No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.
I love the big fresh starts, the clean slates like birthdays and new years, but I also really like the idea that we can get up every morning and start over.

The spiral in a snail’s shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it’s also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It’s the same ratio that you’ll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.
Power is the measure of the degree of control you have over circumstances in your life and the actions of the people around you. It is a skill that is developed by a deep understanding of human nature, of what truly motivates people, and of the manipulations necessary for advancement and protection.

I was born in Romania and later lived in Vienna, Austria, for a few years, and I eventually made my way over to New York in ’95.

You never get away from that thing in your hometown that it has over you. You don’t outgrow where you come from.
I’ve had the honor and privilege of knowing Jeff for over 25 years. He’s been a dear friend and a mentor, and there is no finer person in public service than Jeff Sessions. He’s conducted himself with the greatest integrity of any public official I’ve ever met.
Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another’s great tribulation; not because any man’s troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.
It is self-evident that no number of men, by conspiring, and calling themselves a government, can acquire any rights whatever over other men, or other men’s property, which they had not before, as individuals.
I used to get made fun of in the minor leagues. I’d be 0 for 2, and then in my last at-bat I’d hit a chopper that wouldn’t even reach the shortstop, and I’d get a hit out of it. The guys would be all over me, but a hit’s a hit. I’ll take 3,000 of ’em.
The best way to survive life is – never fret over what you don’t get. There’s a bigger plan for you.
The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle.

Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.
Would not the child’s heart break in despair when the first cold storm of the world sweeps over it, if the warm sunlight of love from the eyes of mother and father did not shine upon him like the soft reflection of divine light and love?
The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
I think when you have a lot of jumbled up ideas they come together slowly over a period of several years.
Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.
The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.
I just bring energy, try to put myself in a good mood, because you’re not going to get through practice if you’re drowsy, don’t feel like doing nothing. Then it’s going to be a long practice and coach is going to be all over you.
Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on.
Since I was 16, I’ve felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
