I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.
David Hobson

I just sit down and the page just comes out and I look at it and the elements that appear on that page have a lot to do with what's going on in my life.
Cory Doctorow

I knew there were, in myself, the souls of millions of people who lived centuries ago; not just people but animals, plants, the elements, things, even, matter. All of these exist in me.
Klaus Kinski

I like to employ a form of repetition, in which the same elements recur but in different and unexpected ways. rather than being discarded as soon as they are understood or passed over.
Graham Nelson

I saw, in looking over Cooper, elements of a comet of 1825 which resemble what I get out for this, from my own observations, but I cannot rely upon my own.
Maria Mitchell

I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights. The indispensable elements in a democratic society - and well worth fighting for.
Helen Suzman

I suppose an artist takes the elements of his life and rearranges them and then has them perceived by others as though they were the elements of their lives.
Paul Simon

I think DOOM had just the right mix of elements that keep people coming back to it: great monsters, excellent weapons with great balance, a spooky environment and extreme speed.
John Romero

I think if you're writing from the heart, very often, the subject matter will adjust as you age... but you try to write the best song you can possibly write. For us, we have the same basic elements that make up the America sound.
Gerry Beckley

I think it's his perception of knowing how to make a record build, keeping the integrity of the song in the music and really adding a lot of musical elements to compliment my voice and to compliment the song.
Deborah Cox

I think money is due for some sort of collapse. People are going to realize that money has a half-life, like radioactive elements.
Doug Coupland

I think racing and riding are two different elements of cycling. You either want to or not depending on what you want to get out of it.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.
Luis Barragan

I think that those elements - light and sound - are beyond democratic. They're into the creative part of life.
Ornette Coleman

I think the composer and production staff of an opera have a real responsibility to use visual elements of all kinds to make clear to the American audience, at any rate, exactly what is going on.
John Eaton

I think there's a poet who wrote once a tragedy by Shakespeare, a symphony by Beethoven and a thunderstorm are based on the same elements. I think that's a beautiful line.
Maximilian Schell

I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I've played, but I think I'm pretty similar to the character I'm playing now. The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks and Geeks Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl.
Lizzy Caplan

I try to show what it is about language and music that enthralls, because I think those are the two elements of poetry.
Rita Dove

I wanted to get to that aesthetic proposition that comes out of learning the human elements of a world, so that those notes and rhythms mean something to you besides just the academic way in which they fall in place.
Stanley Crouch

I would listen to how they told the story, to what elements they used, to how it sounded, and that's who I patterned myself after, the people who were on CBS News.
Ed Bradley
