159229. You can’t stop loving or wanting to love because when its right it’s the best thing in the world. When you’re in a relationship and its good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete. – Keith Sweat

159242. The angels taken collectively are called heaven, for they constitute heaven; and yet that which makes heaven in general and in particular is the Divine that goes forth from the Lord and flows into the angels and is received by them. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159243. The act of exploring what the men are, and moreover the separation of the good from the evil, is visitation; and the good are then removed, and the evil are left behind. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159244. That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man’s state cannot be changed after death. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159245. That all who have ever been born men from the beginning of creation, and are deceased, are either in heaven or in hell, follows from those things which have been said and shown in the preceding article, namely, that Heaven and Hell are from the human race. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159246. Moreover, no one is judged from the natural man, thus not so long as he lives in the natural world, for man is then in a natural body; but everyone is judged in the spiritual man, and therefore when he comes into the spiritual world, for man is then in a spiritual body. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159247. Man was so created by the Lord as to be able while living in the body to speak with spirits and angels, as in fact was done in the most ancient times; for, being a spirit clothed with a body, he is one with them. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159250. Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159251. In the Christian world… it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them; and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159252. I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body; and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections. – Emanuel Swedenborg

159263. In the ‘Nike Economy,’ there are no standards, no borders and no rules. Clearly, the global economy isn’t working for workers in China and Indonesia and Burma any more than it is for workers here in the United States. – John J. Sweeney

159264. We can no longer allow multinationals to parade as agents of progress and democracy in the newspapers, even as they subvert it at the workplace. – John J. Sweeney

159269. I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it’s a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life – then I think it’s a great career. – Julia Sweeney

159270. I have lots of energy. – Julia Sweeney

159271. I was on stage and I was like I will pay someone to do my time, not only will I expect NOT to be paid, but I will pay someone if I can run off stage right now. It was so bad. – Julia Sweeney

159272. I like going back and writing fiction. – Julia Sweeney

159273. I get mad at people who talk about traumatic job interviews, about going on one and getting rejected. I get rejected all the time and not only do I get rejected, but people have no problem being really specific about why I was rejected. – Julia Sweeney

159274. I’m not a standup. I don’t really have jokes. I don’t have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this. – Julia Sweeney

159284. When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn’t understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge. – Matthew Sweet

159285. I figured if the plane goes down, I’ll go with a great genius and will always have my name connected with his. – Matthew Sweet

159286. I had no allusions of radio success. I just loved being in studios. I was having fun and in that sense I now feel a lot like I did when I did that record. – Matthew Sweet

159287. I have more perspective now, and am happier now. It’s not that I don’t want success, but I now know I can have success at a lower level and make much more money doing it by myself. I make $6 or $7 bucks a record vs. nothing off those other records. – Matthew Sweet

159288. I wanted Kimi to be a Japanese record with a Japanese title. I wanted it to be for them. They appreciate things on a different level, and take their art very seriously – that’s special if you’re an artist. – Matthew Sweet

159291. It wasn’t so much that I had to leave to make it in the music business as I was curious to be out on my own and sort of explore. I never felt that where I was ever influenced my songwriting. – Matthew Sweet

159292. More labels should be like that. Instead of putting these records out myself, I should have just signed with them, but they probably don’t like my music (laughs). – Matthew Sweet

159293. My family lives there, so I come back sometimes between shows for a couple days. I get back a couple times a year. When I was 30 to 34 I was weirded out when I came back – you know, how your past gets away from you. It’s grown so much. – Matthew Sweet

159294. So it helped me to just let go of all my tensions and feelings about that world and say ‘OK, this is for my fans in Japan. They’ll be nice and get into it and have fun.’ And it was the first record I made at my home studio. – Matthew Sweet

159295. The openness of rural Nebraska certainly influenced me. That openness, in a way, fosters the imagination. But growing up, Lincoln wasn’t a small town. It was a college town. It had record stores and was a liberal place. – Matthew Sweet

159296. The summer of 2002 at the Wilson birthday party I met Van Dyke again and I made plans to have dinner with him. – Matthew Sweet

159298. They said, ‘If we put you in first class with Brian, will you do it?’ So I flew after not having flown in eight years. If there’s one person who doesn’t like flying as much as me, it’s Brian. – Matthew Sweet

159299. When I go to Japan and do shows I play for 1,000 to 1,500 people. I like a lot about Japan. Their popular culture and mass commercialization appeals to me. – Matthew Sweet

159301. He wanted to play accordion on something of mine and I said you can play accordion, but I want you to play piano and organ on some stuff. He came over a couple times a week for two weeks and gave me therapy as to whether I should do The Thorns or not. – Matthew Sweet

159302. He helped make Living Things even more crazy than I wanted it to be. He added old-fashioned piano and classical folk music – that weird otherworldly vibe – all these elements got onto the record. – Matthew Sweet

159303. Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks, around ’92 and ’96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success, sold lots of records and played bigger shows, I had the least control of my own life. – Matthew Sweet

159304. First off, I don’t want anyone to think I’m this huge thing in Japan. Every group from here that’s made any records over any length of time – even indie bands – have a Cheap Trick effect in Japan. – Matthew Sweet

159305. Creativity is much better when it’s free. Someone can take it and sell it if that’s what it needs, and from that standpoint, you have to have a label. If you could make your music and just give it away and somehow make a living – that would be the best scenario. – Matthew Sweet

159306. There are things that I value now that I didn’t when I first went over there, like Zen Buddhism, which has become part of my life over the last couple years. – Matthew Sweet

159308. Success is a journey, not a destination. – Ben Sweetland

159309. The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little. – Ben Sweetland

159310. We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own. – Ben Sweetland

159311. Wonder if there is life on another planet? Let’s suppose there is. Suppose further, that only one star in a trillion has a planet that could support life. If that were the case, then there would be at least 100 million planets that harbored life. – Ben Sweetland

159313. The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick. – Anne Sophie Swetchine

159330. If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will. – David Swift

159331. Possibly he knew, as he wrote this, that he was mad – because inside every madman sits a little sane man saying ‘You’re mad, you’re mad.’ – Graham Swift

159332. All nature’s creatures join to express nature’s purpose. Somewhere in their mounting and mating, rutting and butting is the very secret of nature itself. – Graham Swift
