I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.

A proverb is the wisdom of many and the wit of one.

Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it ignorance may deride it but in the end there it is.

I am of mixed minds about the issue of privacy. On one hand I understand that information is power and power is well power so keeping your private information to yourself is essential - especially if you are a controversial figure a celebrity or a dissident.

If journalism is good it is controversial by its nature.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

I'm really an inner spirit that only makes itself known through the music. A lot of people think I'm an introvert or quiet and moody. I've even heard some people say that there's a certain mystery or darkness about me. I'm not that way. I'm just really into what I do.

In America life is introverted self-absorbed - and so is their music.

It was huge to read the Proverbs of the day every morning it was huge to read the Psalm of the day every morning and to get that in us and get us going before the day even started.

Controversy equalizes fools and wise men - and the fools know it.

I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman I'm called a bigot.

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself love being outdoors love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees flowers the sky.

A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge.

The passionate controversies of one era are viewed as sterile preoccupations by another for knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find.

It is not difficult for me to have this faith for it is incontrovertible that where there is a plan there is intelligence - an orderly unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered - 'In the beginning God.'

But it is equally incontrovertible that if our intelligence gathering process is seriously flawed we had better find out and find out fast if we are to avoid another Sept. 11.

I think any branding for me is band-related. It's really weird to get used to the exposure because I am a naturally introverted person and I'm not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk but I spend a lot of my days not talking especially when I'm at home and not on tour.

Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers they're the ones who stand by the punch bowl. In a world of mixers and pub crawls they prefer to stay home with a book. Everywhere around them cell phones ring and e-mails chime and they just want a little quiet.

The most savage controversies are about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way.

I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

To the citizens of Israel I say: we have passed difficult years faced the most painful experiences and overcame them. The future lies before us. We are required to take difficult and controversial steps but we must not miss the opportunity to try to achieve what we have wished for for so many years: security tranquillity and peace.

Wikipedia is just an incredible thing. It is fact-encirclingly huge and it is idiosyncratic careful messy funny shocking and full of simmering controversies - and it is free and it is fast.

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.
