“As a direct line to human feeling, empathic experience, genuine language and detail, poetry is everything that headline news is not. It takes us inside situations, helps us imagine life from more than one perspective, honors imagery and metaphor - those great tools of thought - and deepens our confidence in a meaningful world.” WorldHumansHelpingFeelingsPoetryLanguageLinesSituationImaginePerspectiveHonorNewsToolsDirectMetaphorDetailsMeaningfulGenuinePoetry IsImageryHeadlines Author:Naomi Shihab Nye
“One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves.” WellsDoeMadeSaidTwoRealityLanguageCommonWrittenObjectsPoetPerspectiveReaderHonorDemandUniqueSignificantTwo ThingsValidityPoetry By Famous PoetsUnique Perspective Author:W.

“History is driven, over the long haul, by culture - by what men and women honor, cherish, and worship; by what societies deem to be true and good, and by the expressions they give to those convictions in language, literature, and the arts; by what individuals and societies are willing to stake their lives on.” MenGivingLongArtCultureLiteratureIndividualLanguageWillingExpressionHonorWorshipMen And WomenConvictionDrivenBeing TrueCherishStakesHaulLong HaulIndividuals And Society Book:The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America, and Politics Without God Source: The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America, and Politics Without God
“There are truths, that are beyond us, transcendent truths, about beauty, truth, honor, etc. There are truths that man knows exist, but they cannot be seen - they are immaterial, but no less real, to us. It is only through the language of myth that we can speak of these truths.” KnowsMenRealSpeakLanguageHonorMythEtcTranscendent Author:J. R. R. Tolkien
“Art is a means of memorialization of the past, a record of a rapidly vanishing world; a means of exorcising, at least temporarily, the ravages of homesickness. To speak of 'what is past, or passing or to come'-in the most meticulous language thereby to assure its permanence; to honor those we've loved and learned from and must outlive.” WorldMeanArtPastSpeakLanguageRecordsHonorArt IsPassingPassingsPermanenceVanishingHomesicknessMeticulous Author:Joyce Carol Oates
“The Government honoring our treaties and sovereignty is first and foremost. These issues are still the top priority which [Barak] Obama, if elected, has promised us.

“If Pakistan honors in letter and in spirit the commitment that it gave to Mr. Vajpayee in 2004, that Pakistan territory will not be used for promoting terrorist acts against India, the sky is the limit of cooperation between our two countries.

“I think a lot of times when people hear the word dance, they think 'oh, that's something that I can't do.' But dance really lives in our bodies and the thing that I've come to learn, embrace and lift up is that we have history in our bodies that's living and breathing. We have our own individual history but we also have our heritage. Each one of us has our movement language and it's about tapping into that and pulling that out. That's the thing that I try to encourage everybody because it's not about dance, it's about the movement and the gesture and how we honor it.” PeopleThinkingTryingIndividualLanguageHonorEmbrace Author:Camille A.

“People think that the government honors and respects us, and that they're actually going to come in and help people in need, but in reality it's really just a bunch of red tape, and through the power of language they can really make it seem like they're going to do a lot when they aren't going to do anything but filter money back into their own pockets.” PeopleThinkingHelpingRealityLanguageHonor Author:Mr. Lif
