Whether we knew many who died on September 11 or personally knew none we all lost something on that day. Innocence. Security. A trust that our homeland would always be safe.

The president has undermined trust. No longer will the members of Congress be entitled to accept his veracity. Caveat emptor has become the word. Every member of Congress is on his or her own to determine the truth.

One is that you have to take time lots of time to let an idea grow from within. The second is that when you sign on to something there will be issues of trust deep trust the way the members of a string quartet have to trust one another.

I guess as long as people think of me for different ages I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19 so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.

In your hands or that of any other person so much power would no doubt be dangerous. I am the only man in the world whom it would be safe to trust with it. Remember I am a prophet!

When you travel remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

The more you travel the better you get at it. It sounds silly but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad travelling around Europe by rail fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff so I've learnt to be more economical.

The simple fact is this: they are foreigners inside a country which has rejected them. Therefore these foreigners wherever they go or travel they will be rained down with bullets from everyone. Attacks by members of the resistance will only go up.

I think family is very important in West Virginia and has long been so because the mountains made travel difficult in the past and family members had to depend on each other.

We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember when I'm playing a scene on the plane just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.

I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time and especially if you're having hard times personally things going on that you - you know and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

Seek always to do some good somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

You know people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know all time is uncertain. I mean it was uncertain back in - in 2007 we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th 1987 you just didn't know it.

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

I remember the first time I had sex - I kept the receipt.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said 'Truth is the daughter of Time.'

And when is there time to remember to sift to weigh to estimate to total?

I'm thankful for my songs being at the top of the charts but I am human - I think people still have to remember that.

I remember feeling that technology was like trying to draw with your foot. In a ski boot. It was the most indirect way to work imaginable but the potential had us all excited. I started in stop motion.

I suppose that every time there is difficulty. I remember about Space Mountain: It took us ten years before we found the technology that would allow such a ride. And during these ten years I had a model that I kept waiting for the technology we needed.

I love what the Valley does. I love company building. I love startups. I love technology companies. I love new technology. I love this process of invention. Being able to participate in that as a founder and a product creator or as an investor or a board member I just find that hugely satisfying.

I went to school at this log school house. A white woman was my teacher I do not remember her name. My father had to pay her one dollar a month for me. Us kids that went to school did not have desks we used slates and set on the hued down logs for seats.

When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989 my first piano teacher sent me something that I'd composed when I was four. I remember I played it and it still sounded like me. I'm the same composer I was then.
