Pastoral Resources

Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important.

Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments.

It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.

We've already gotten a significant grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and a university consortium. I think the whole sector of Foundations, potentially with government support, is promising - more than promising, I think, it's substantial.

That's why it has to be a nonprofit, because a nonprofit is required to take monies it receives and use them for the purposes for which it's chartered by the government. It can't be pocketed.

People are rapidly losing hope and trust. They believe their government has been captured by special interests and no longer cares about them, and they are right.

In modern Russia, you have no official, formal assessment of this past. Nobody in any Russian document has said that the policy of the Soviet government was criminal, that it was terrible. No one has ever said this.

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.

In other restaurants you'll see employees signing to each other, since we also hire many deaf men and women.

Military police know what to do, they know the Geneva Conventions, and their objective is to provide a safe, secure, fair environment for prisoners under their control.

Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.

If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.

The trouble with photographing beautiful women is that you never get into the dark room until after they've gone.

Terrorism, ladies and gentlemen, in my eyes I have a very, very, very simple explanation. Gangs of criminals, killers, used unfortunately by certain governments in the past for political purposes, who are on their own now as gangs.

If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.

Russian Parliament today is a bunch of puppets that just fall in with the instructions from Kremlin.

More and more people in my country recognise the dangers of having their governors appointed by Putin and having no influence in parliament because Parliament today is also following instructions from Kremlin and no longer represents its people.

Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.

The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.

Is it possible to covet a much longer life for one's self and be as devoted to the well-being of the next generation? It's a long argument.
