    For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.

The conception of worth, that each person is an end per se, is not a mere abstraction. Our interest in it is not merely academic.

A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to be respected and revered.

We tried to keep Sastre up front ahead of the climb, where it all exploded. Of course, it would've been more fun if we'd had a rider in the break, but I'm pretty satisfied with the fact that we had three guys in the second group with all the big favourites.

These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like pollution and overpopulation. And they still offer us a tremendous escape. They're really just luscious paintings. There's nothing that can substitute for art that is about sensuality and beauty, and that's what we're offering.

When the ball is snapped, wherever it goes, that's where he is. Pierce is a great leader for our defense. He is a quiet kid off the field, but the kids look up to him and respect him.
