There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful.
My experience politically has always been that one-word definition of politics: money. Keep your eye on the buck. And that tells you where the American people are going to be.
IT'S a pitfall to have a definition of photography.
In my definition I am a protest writer, with restraint.
Feminist, whatever the definition, whatever you call yourself - I am, I'm not - none of us want little girls being forced into early marriage before they're 12.
Women manage, quite brilliantly, on the whole, and to stunning and unforeseeable effect, to survive and surmount being defined by others. They dismiss the definition, however dangerous or wounding it may be-- or even, sometimes, find a way to utilize it.
I mainly play traditional music, which by definition is music that you've heard someone else doing.
I pursue no objectives, no systems, no tendency; I have no program, no style, no direction. I have no time for specialized concerns, working themes, or variations that lead to mastery.

Truth cannot be defined, although it can certainly be experienced. But experience is not a definition. A definition is made by the mind, experience comes through participating.

The point is that (little-t) truth is a matter of definition relative to the grid one is using at the moment, and that (capital-T) Truth, metaphysical reality, is irrelevant to grids entirely. Pick a grid, and through it some chaos appears ordered and some appears disordered. Pick another grid, and the same chaos will appear differently ordered and disordered. Reality is the original Rorschach. Verily! So much for all that.
If you're happy, that's probably the most important thing. Everyone probably has their own definition of success, for me it's happiness. Do I enjoy what I'm doing? Do I enjoy the people I'm with? Do I enjoy my life?
I don't think Stoppardian has a precise definition.
There are problems that just end up being really hard and by definition the only problems that come to my desk are the ones that nobody else can solve.
Benito Mussolini created the word 'fascism. ' He defined it as 'the merging of the state and the corporation. ' He also said a more accurate word would be 'corporatism.
