The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.

The first rap CD that I had, it was so different for me. The energy, the wordplay, all that caught my attention, and I liked it.

The nuclear approach I’m involved in is called a traveling-wave reactor, which uses waste uranium for fuel.

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.

I am so tired of fear. And I don’t want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.

Technology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that’s odd, but I think it’s odd if artists aren’t interested in the world around them. I’m always chasing that.

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.

There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

The name Muhammad is the most common name in the world. In all the countries around the world – Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon – there are more Muhammads than anything else. When I joined the Nation of Islam and became a Muslim, they gave me the most famous name because I was the champ.

Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.

People like Frank Zappa and Bryan Ferry knew we could pick and choose from the history of music, stick things together looking for friction and energy. They were more like playwrights; they invented characters and wrote a life around them.
