I knew, regardless of anything else, singing in front of an orchestra was going to be inspirational. It would feed me.

It really is an honor if I can be inspirational to a younger singer or person. It means I've done my job.

I did an A Level in Theatre Studies and had a really inspirational teacher, and then I just went on to university.

I do a lot of inspirational talks for kids, to motivate them to change their lives and give them hope.

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.

Nothing can be more painful than the cry of the word which gave us the inspiration to dream of love.

“If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.”

“There is no rest for the humble except in despising the great, whose only thought of the people is inspired by self-interest or sadism.”

“Poetry, she thought, wasn't written to be analyzed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding.”

No social system will bring us happiness health and prosperity unless it is inspired by something greater than materialism.
