Opinions Quotes
-
If you live your life to please everyone else, you will continue to feel frustrated and powerless. This is because what others want may not be good for you.

It seems that every practitioner of physics has had to wonder at some point why mathematics and physics have come to be so closely entwined.

Etienne Klein
-
Some things are up to us [eph' hêmin] and some things are not up to us. Our opinions are up to us, and our impulses, desires, aversions–in short, whatever is our own doing.

Epictetus

Billy Joel

Through the music and words we, as the band The ex, express our thoughts and opinions and ideas. It is not always totally necessary for our audience to clearly hear and understand every line I sing. The power and impact, the positive energy of the music are as much part of the whole thing as the words. We are not trying to convert people, but we believe in our music and like to play it in front of other people, hoping that we can get them as excited as we are about our music.
G.W. Sok

A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people.

Abraham Lincoln
