It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.
We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.
A child born to a Black mother in a state like Mississippi... has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for.
By the time a bartender knows what drink a man will have before he orders, there is little else about him worth knowing.
Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
If we were the team that won out, then life was good and we felt that we were worth something.
It is not enough to know your craft - you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.
To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
It's really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it's six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it's 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that's 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I've done three hours worth of work.
We are the world. We are the people and we deserve better not because we're worth it but because no worth can be put on the incalculable, on the infinite, on life.
One good analogy is worth three hours discussion.
Culture's worth huge, huge risks. Without culture we're all totalitarian beasts.
A lot of good has come from drugs. I think 'Penny Lane' is worth 10 dead kids. Dark Side of the Moon is worth 100 dead kids. Because a lot of kids wouldn't even be born if it weren't for that album, so it evens out.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
If I had killed Crow off I can think of least six novels I would never have written, 400,000 words' worth of very necessary experience.
