I was never interested in looking at myself in an aesthetic mirror. My intention was always to get away from myself, though I knew perfectly well that I was using myself. Call it a little game between ‘I’ and ‘me.’
The courage of very ordinary people is all that stands between us and the dark.
We’re going for the joke on ‘Children’s Hospital,’ and we’re going for the joke on ‘The League.’ It’s fun to go between shows, but you have to mentally remind yourself what show you’re on.
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.
I am a believer of all religions. I will happily visit a temple, mosque, church. I do not differentiate between religions.
Man, as we know him, is a poor creature; he is halfway between an ape and a god and he is travelling in the right direction.
Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.
More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars – yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.
The hardest thing is to go to sleep at night, when there are so many urgent things needing to be done. A huge gap exists between what we know is possible with today’s machines and what we have so far been able to finish.
You don’t see any borders between countries from space. That’s man-made, and one experiences it only when you return to Earth.
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
The connection between psychology, mythology, and literature is as important as the connection between psychology and biology and the hard sciences.
Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth… these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women’s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
I can jog, but I can’t run. That’s hard for me. I like the fact that I can jog for fitness, but to me there’s a huge difference between jogging and running.
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
If you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall.
The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it.
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.
I had to choose between American and British actors, and it didn’t take me more than a second to decide: Russians are Europeans and should be played by other Europeans.
Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
There is a difference between listening and waiting for your turn to speak.
I love shifting between being super cute and aggressive. It’s funny.
The hope of eternal life is not to be taken up upon slight grounds. It is a subject to be settled between God and your own soul; settled for eternity. A supposed hope, and nothing more, will prove your ruin.
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
The mystery of existence is the connection between our faults and our misfortunes.
I simply do not distinguish between work and play.
Israelis can be proud of the vibrant democracy that they have created, and I know that many Rhode Islanders share my deep appreciation for the close friendship between our two nations.
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
The bones of my architecture are very much related to the structure, to the physical fact of how a building can stand up; it’s also related to geometry and a certain understanding of the architecture in which there is a balance between expression and function.
For me, masculinity is about control, and femininity is more of an embrace, the art of listening. It’s very inspiring to explore the shadows of masculinity and femininity, and the tensions between both, and the place of women in the world right now.
The relationship between renewable energy sources and the communities we expect to host them must be appropriate and sustainable and, above all, acceptable to local people.
Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it – a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand – as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it’s bad art.
And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.
The relationship between a military working dog and a military dog handler is about as close as a man and a dog can become. You see this loyalty, the devotion, unlike any other and the protectiveness.
The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly – to develop strategies of seeing and showing.
The difference between playing the stock market and the horses is that one of the horses must win.
Autonomy leads to empowerment. We work hard to maintain a balance between collaboration and cooperation and independence.
We all know what it feels like to be an outcast or a loner or to fall between the cracks. To be the target of gossip or people talking about you, or girls are ganging up on you. One minute, they’re your best friend; the next, they call you on three-way.
The golden thread of reason that used to be stretched taut to mark the boundary between the known and the unknown is now routinely disrespected.
We need to understand the difference between discipline and punishment. Punishment is what you do to someone; discipline is what you do for someone.
In prayerful silence you must look into your own heart. No one can tell you better than yourself what comes between you and God. Ask yourself. Then listen!
