Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another. If those communities are left to decay, this city will decay. We are already too dependent on gambling revenue. If we continue, we will soon be owned by them. What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.

That dependency is a threat to our national security, and we must address that threat. I need to reach a lot of people to sell records. The reality is we talk a lot about it, but we really don't give everyone an opportunity to buy into it, and this combines both the best of Republican and Democratic ideals.

Anything that we can do to raise personal savings is very much in the interest of this country. I think it's time for me to get out, because at the moment I'm only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they're the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I'm thinking about it. Emigration is no longer a solution; it's a defeat. People are risking death, drowning every day, but they're knocking on doors that are not open. To put it rather bluntly, I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel. What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it. I see wonderful films by Bertolucci, Visconti, and Fellini. New York, the nation's thyroid gland. It was very much about performances, the whole ensemble thing was just great - everybody working together. Sometimes it didn't feel like a film set. It wasn't technically driven, it was very, very enjoyable. We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy. I had an awful first quarter but I picked it up. To all you single guys out there, it's not how you start the date, it's how you finish it sir. A lot of people can, you know, start the date with flowers and candy, but if you don't finish the date - you know what I mean? Cleanliness becomes more important when godliness is unlikely.

His name, even, is part of the marketing scheme, I mean, Thelonious Sphere Monk - how can you think of a better name to fit his style of playing? Number four, we're going to play like winners, play the game the way it's meant to be played. Don't get full of yourself if something good happens. Don't get too depressed when something bad happens. If atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt. Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams? Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it.
