The technological breakthrough of the World Wide Web has been enormously beneficial to society.
There is something all life has in common, and when I know what it is I shall know myself.
Be you writer or reader, it is very pleasant to run away in a book.
I love to travel, but when I really want to escape, I read a book.
I throw back my head, and, feeling free as the wind, breathe in the fresh mountain air. Although I am heavy-hearted, my spirits are rising. To walk in nature is always good medicine.
To be a writer you should read, write and talk to people, hear their knowledge, hear their problems. Be a good listener. The rest will come.
That is the greatest gift my books have given me; what it means and has done for the kids.
I never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. I had never attended church, was never raised in a religious home, never had any insight of God or who he was until I was 18 years old.
Because I want to see. I've got to know what's going to happen while I'm still enough in control to be able to do something about it.
When you think night and day and every moment only of pleasing me, things will be very easy for you.
Now I want to use money in a good way. I make foundations back home in Russia, I have sponsored vaccinations for more than one million children in my homeland and I have founded scholarships in the names of my great Russian compatriots - Oistrakh, Richter, Gilels, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Schnittke.
