The fine delight that ordtak

en The fine delight that fathers thought; the strong / Spur, live and lancing like the blowpipe flame, / Breathes once and, quenchèd faster than it came, / Leaves yet the mind a mother of immortal song.
  Gerard Manley Hopkins

en I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong, / I shun the thought that lurks in all delight - / The thought of thee - and in the blue heaven's height, / And in the sweetest passage of a song.

en We tend to improvise and expand on the songs when we're on stage, and on the last couple of CDs, it was fine to put out something that felt unfinished, because we knew we were going to expand on it live. With 'Stories of a Stranger,' we were focused on how strong each song could be.

en The lyrics are so straightforward. I can't believe people misinterpret that song. I've heard the song is conceited. Everybody has a mind that works in a different way, but I thought it was very clear.

en I think he thought he was strong and I thought he was strong. Again, we won't do that every five days. Tonight, I think the weather had something to do with it. He was strong going out. I really had no reservations sending him back out there. I wasn't going to let him face Hafner when we got to that part of the game. But if I thought he wasn't making pitches, I would have got him out of there. I pay attention to those things -- pitch counts and stuff. I thought he was fine.

en A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than [being] a mean little flame.
  Boris Yeltsin

en The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection. Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? / But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

en There's one moment with my mother that sticks out in my mind, ... She was battling cancer. She'd already had chemotherapy and her hair was falling out. I was walking home from high school. My mother was sitting on the front porch with the radio on. She was singing a song called 'Noah, Noah' by a Latin singer named Juan Gabriel. I started singing and dancing with her, and I could see that she was happy despite the pain. That was a very special moment for me. That's the best memory I have of my mother.

en There has to be a lot of relaxation (when performing 'OV'). If either of us is too tensed up or high strung, sometimes you can't make it through (the song) ... and it's a little bit more phonetic and faster live.

en Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights, and live laborious days
  John Milton

en He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

en Will you permit the sacred fire of liberty, brought by your fathers from the venerable temples of Britain, to be quenched and trodden out on the simple altars they have raised?

en And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

en It is a fine line between where you don't want him to not be aggressive. But then again, I don't mind if he leaves his feet. As long as he goes up in his area. Where he has been getting in trouble is he is jumping in to people. He just has to slow down.

en To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal.
  Jorge Luis Borges
