If people maintain the belief systems that empower them, they'll keep coming back with enough action and enough resourcefulness to succeed eventually.

If you begin to have a relationship where you're doing what the guards want, and once you're out you will see that as a treason, a treason to your country, a treason to yourself, a treason to everybody, so you have to be very cautious on what is the perspective you're looking at yourself, and you have always to see yourself like from the outside.

Housing works like a trampoline. When it is pushed down far enough and long enough, it will eventually snap upward very powerfully.

Roger Altman

Writing should be like skirts. Long enough to cover what it needs to cover and short enough to maintain interest.

Scott McClanahan

Anything in this culture that stands still long enough eventually becomes okay if a person can derive an income from it. Eventually, pay-per-view public execution will happen, and it will be half-time entertainment.

Henry Rollins

You can play from the wrong position for a long time with good hands, but eventually it's going to catch up with you.

Tiger Woods

I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.

Angela Ruggiero

If you live long enough, you get accused of things you never did and praised for virtues you never had.

I. F. Stone

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
