I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there’s nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.
In contentment and joy are found the height and perfection of all love towards our neighbor.
It is hard to know how many people do, but given that the people are so docile towards the rulers, nowadays, very few Americans show the passion for freedom that our forefathers had.
The biggest challenge was trying to convey the story of the making of a film that isn’t finished yet – and which won’t be finished until the third film, The Return of the King, reaches our cinemas towards the end of 2003!
Dreaming is one thing, and working towards the dream is one thing, but working with expectations in mind is very self-defeating.

The revolution will come from the people and the willingness to work towards something better, to fight for a better living.

White House and State Department foreign-policy experts are overwhelmingly directed towards military and diplomatic issues, not development issues.
It’s always the big question in our lives if you have a lot of success. What do you do with it? Buy more houses, buy more cars, buy more stuff, be wealthy and distant and unengaged? Or do you take all that good fortune that has come towards you and spread the love, do something with it?
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.

My habit would have been to veer towards the dark – to prove I was something; edgy, or maybe to prove that I was cognisant of the dark side. Now, with age and confidence, I can say, yeah, that’s true, but I am cognisant of the fact that people can do things well. And can be more loving than you expect.
I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe that things happen for a reason, and I think God has things – whether it’s good or bad – happen towards a bigger picture that you don’t necessarily understand at the present time.
While the wealthiest families completely benefit from the tax cuts targeted towards the upper brackets, middle-income families were hit with the unwelcome surprise of higher taxes on tax day.
Love who you are, embrace who you are. Love yourself. When you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that: they can see confidence, they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you.
The music that I listen to on set really varies. When I need lots of energy and I’m dying down towards the day, I need to play hip hop or rap or else my energy just crashes after a long day. When I’m shooting something moody or where I have to play it down a bit, I’ll play Lana Del Rey or something more mellow.
I always remind myself that my audience is human. Therefore we have to be human, play human, reveal the humanness of who we are. Audiences gravitate towards that.
There is one common thing in superstars – enthusiasm and humility towards their work. Off sets, they are big stars for others, and they carry themselves the way they want to. When they are working, they are not stars.

My favorite movies were ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and stuff that had a more classic comedy type feel, that more slapsticky stuff. It’s the comedy I’ve gravitated towards.

I definitely gravitate towards things like vegetables, chicken, brown rice, but I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I want a Sprinkles cupcake, I’m having a Sprinkles cupcake. But I’m not going to have one every day… you just have to have a sensible outlook on all of it.
Writers tend to write stories as a kind of holiday between novels, or as preliminary steps towards a novel. Stories just don’t often make up a writer’s main body of work, and that’s not because they don’t see the market for it.
I’d love to do something with Kelly Clarkson because she’s been a monumental influence on me. I love how she handles her celebrity. She’s not in the tabloids a lot but everyone knows and respects her because she’s got an amazing voice. That’s something I aim towards.
If I play all the IPL games the whole season, I do get a bit tired towards the end.
I am moving towards that zone where I don’t want to be a replaceable name. This is my goal. I want to hear from the industry that, ‘You are the only one who can do this. We will not go ahead with the project if you don’t do this.’ And I want to hear from the audience that it is worth watching a film that I have done.
One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything. You never know the truth. You can only approach it and hope to get a bit nearer to it each time. You iterate towards the truth. You don’t know it.
Being respectful towards others and a loving and caring nature are some qualities I admire.

We need to put goals in front of us and move towards them.
I definitely gravitate towards quality genre projects and genre of any kind whether it’s science fiction, horror or really anything. I’m just drawn to quality. I don’t think ‘Darkness Falls’ is horror; there isn’t any gore by any stretch of the imagination.

I consider myself a good person. And I think people perceive me to be, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ but being a good person, knowing your strengths and working towards those strengths, and encouraging those around you to do the same, that’s a good person.
Slovenia wishes that Montenegro will continue successfully its way towards European integration and will reach peaceful co-habitation with other former Yugoslav peoples within a united Europe.
Any serious shift towards more sustainable societies has to include gender equality.
I love rehearsing because in rehearsals there are no mistakes, nothing is wrong, some things apply or lead you to focus on the character and the things that don’t apply are equally valuable because they lead you to towards what does.
I’m not on the run from anything and I’m not at all clear about what I’m running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I’m totally exhausted.
I am confident that the vast majority of teachers will work with us towards achieving that goal.

When I have had such men before my camera my whole soul has endeavored to do its duty towards them in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner as well as the features of the outer man. The photograph thus taken has been almost the embodiment of a prayer.
Form as a goal always ends in formalism. For this striving is directed not towards an inside, but towards an outside. But only a living inside has a living outside.
Folklore has a moral center to it. Folklore is always, always, always on the side of the underdog, and children have a natural instinct towards justice. They feel indignation at needless cruelty and wistfulness about acts of mercy and kindness.
