If you want God to do something new in you, you cannot keep doing the same old thing. You have to do something different. And if you do, God will create new capacities within you. There will be new gifts and new revelations. But you've got to pray the price. You'll get out of this what you put into it.

Sampling is a new way of doing something that’s been with us for a long time […] The mix breaks free from the old associations. New contexts form from old. The script gets flipped. The languages evolve and learn to speak in new forms, new thoughts. The sound of thought becomes legible again at the edge of the new meanings.

DJ Spooky

One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.

Mark Batterson

You must have something new in a landscape as well as something old, something that's dying and something that's being born.

Andy Goldsworthy

Any sizeable Portuguese town looks like a superstitious bride's finery - something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

Mary McCarthy

He'd made sure i had something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

Abbi Glines

I dont want to create a monster; I want to make something which is new, exceptional, something that only I do...something that references tradition, but is still new.

Georg Baselitz

New Year's resolutions work like this: you think of something you enjoy doing and then resolve to stop doing it.

I tried to instill a different motivation, to give them the security and the conviction that they were doing something good, something necessary, something useful - if you want to use a grandiose expression, that they were doing something for peace.

Markus Wolf

I want something completely new and different to happen, and lots of it. Stuff that makes us change the way we think about a market or the world. Something that inspires a new generation of crazy startups doing crazy things.
