The photograph reverses the purpose of travel which until now had been to encounter the strange and unfamiliar.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions do not try to break them but bend them with gentleness and time.

However I had a chance encounter with an admissions officer of Stevens Institute of Technology who so impressed me by his erudition and enthusiasm for the school that I changed course and entered Stevens Institute.

It requires more strength to be gentle so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people.

Sports broadcasting is very open now. In the beginning you did encounter more traditional attitudes and get comments. But I'm talking about 12 years ago.

I think it's great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view.

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew a troubled kid who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than ahem Charles Manson!

It's easier to write from my own life and it's also more fun. I always write about relationships for instance whether they're romantic relationships friendships encounters... there's always a lesson to be learned from them.

I accepted the interviews and encounters that had to be held with the media but I would have preferred to work in peace.

Swallow a toad in the morning and you will encounter nothing more disgusting the rest of the day.

I have encountered riotous mobs and have been hung in effigy but my motto is: Men's rights are nothing more. Women's rights are nothing less.

As far as hypnosis is concerned I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

And when they encounter works of art which show that using new media can lead to new experiences and to new consciousness and expand our senses our perception our intelligence our sensibility then they will become interested in this music.

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult at best and all but unlivable at worst or possibly even unlivable do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility then it's a lie.

During the Second World War evacuated to non-Jewish households I encountered Christianity at home and in school.

The worst mistake of first contact made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions. It often proved fatal.

I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.

History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.

Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.

Nevertheless whether in occurrences lasting days hours or mere minutes at a time I have experienced happiness often and have had brief encounters with it in my later years even in old age.

Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood all born to encounter suffering and sorrow and therefore bound to sympathize with each other.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

I'm interested in the human impact of the giant foot of misplaced government. After all we encounter it every day.

It's counterintuitive but the most divisive arrangement is when the same party controls both Congress and the presidency a situation encountered in eight of the past 10 years. With government unified under a single party the minority has the least possible incentive to cooperate with the majority.

The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.

In everyone's life at some time our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food good shelter a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn't make at my family reunion.

We consider Christmas as the encounter the great encounter the historical encounter the decisive encounter between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly let him rejoice.
