But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed.

When you're afraid of what people will think if you speak honestly, that's where you become confused.
Byron KatieWe live in a society that says "You Gotta get yours" and I'm not suggesting that you don't handle your business but I want to show people...

Eric ThomasImagine that we are sitting in an ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind the door. In an instant the room we are sitting in is completely altered; everything in it has taken on another look; the light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically the same.

Carl Theodor DreyerThe "non-profit" institution neither supplies goods or services not controls. Its "product" is neither a pair of shoes nor an effective regulation.

Peter DruckerIt's very tough to give advice because it's tough out there for everybody but for a girl it's even tougher, because I don't think the glass ceiling has changed at all in the past 30 years.

But I think that bands can still have a lot of success trying to go another route.

Steve SquyresI learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my druthers, it would never have been changed at all. What I learned from it is that today seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. I learned to look at all the good in the world and to try to give some of it back because I believed in it completely and utterly.

That helped me to work every day during the year, and very hard. And it never stopped.
