I get those fleeting beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.

The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.

Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected momentary and fleeting yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.

Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will any marriage happy or unhappy is infinitely more interesting than any romance however passionate.

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.

Hope founded upon a human being a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting.

Glory is fleeting but obscurity is forever.

People need to realise what real happiness and success is because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.

For good or for ill air mastery is today the supreme expression of military power and fleets and armies however vital and important must accept a subordinate rank.

No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.

When you're rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship even if you try hard not to be. I've talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I've ever wanted to do.

My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don't need the money but there's an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There's a love there we're a band of brothers.

The truth of the matter is beauty is a specific thing rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens 20s and 30s and then lose it most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.

The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.

Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief the souvenir of pain.

Modernity is the transient the fleeting the contingent it is one half of art the other being the eternal and the immovable.

The creative act lasts but a brief moment a lightning instant of give-and-take just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

Of course this is Vegas and it is the melting pot for all over the world but people from all over the world know Donny and Marie. It is amazing. I have been in the business a long time to realize careers can be fleeting. Five years is a long career nowadays for some people and here we are still going strong after 40 years.

When I work alone my process is like painting. With Fleetwood Mac it's more like movie making.
