To me, money is a vehicle; it's a tool. I could use it as a weapon to destroy things or money can create-you can create an opportunity, you can create a charity, you can create things for your family, you can go do something for your family that nobody else would ever do. You can create educational opportunities, you can feed people overseas. And there's a tremendous leverage with money, or you can destroy people with it.

Tony Robbins

Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.

Alexandre Dumas

That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life; he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.

Erich Fromm

But once you describe something, you destroy it.

Barry Webster

The epithet beautiful is used by surgeons to describe operations which their patients describe as ghastly, by physicists to describe methods of measurement which leave sentimentalists cold, by lawyers to describe cases which ruin all the parties to them, and by lovers to describe the objects of their infatuation, however unattractive they may appear to the unaffected spectators.

George Bernard Shaw

Just as any moron can destroy a priceless Ming vase, so the shallow and ill-educated people who run our schools can undermine and destroy from within a great civilization that took centuries of dedicated effort to create and maintain.

Thomas Sowell

I often think of my work as visual haiku. It is an attempt to evoke and suggest through as few elements as possible rather than to describe with tremendous detail.

Michael Kenna

To define is to kill. To suggest is to create.

Stephane Mallarme

The power to tax involves the power to destroy;...the power to destroy may defeat and render useless the power to create.

John Marshall

To describe this world is not to describe reality 'in itself', as it is independently of how we regard and describe it.

David E. Cooper

The religious paradigm and the science fiction paradigm are different. Apologies to science fiction fans, but the paradigm there is to create a new world and describe it with a kind of specificity that we describe the world we inhabit. Religiosity, on the other hand, does none of that.

Malcolm Gladwell

You would be naive to suggest that politics isn't complicated or isn't a game, but you don't create change through cynicism.

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau

I listen to a piece of music and really get inside it and let it suggest a little universe to create.

Chris Cunningham

If you can't create, you destroy.

Anais Nin

So many words commonly used to describe childbirth-support, patient, management, delivered by, coached, helped, guided-suggest that a woman does not have the power to give birth without being dependent on somebody else. This isn't the case at all.

Michel Odent

I create music; I create painting; I create whatever I want to create. I create, what you say, clothes. I create, I don't know, dance move. I create anything.

Gael Monfils
