Matter can be conveniently divided for descriptive purposes into space , time , mass, and energy. However we can only describe any one of these phenomena in terms of the other three. Any definitions we care to make about matter are thus tautological.
The association of motorcycles with LSD is no accident of publicity. They are both a means to an end, to the place of definitions.
I cannot accept the definition of collective good as articulated by a privileged minority in society, especially when that minority is in power.
Liberals subscribe to the new flexible, pluralistic definition of the family; their defense of families carries no conviction.

The definition of obscenity on the newsstands should be extended to many hunting magazines.
If you think spreading money around by force seems like an odd definition of fairness, you're not alone.
My definition of success is to be happy in what you like to do best. It's not a monetary value; it's an internal value in itself. If you're happy from the inside-out, thats what is important. Success comes as a day to day value or reaching a goal that you have, and you've got to prepare yourself for what's to come when success is there.
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?
The sense of this word among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it; enthusiasm signifies God in us.
By definition, intelligence deals with the unclear, the unknown, the deliberately hidden. What the enemies of the United States hope to deny we work to reveal.
Taste is the feminine of genius.
Shedding the carapace we have been building so assiduously on the surface, we must by definition give up exactly what we thought was necessary to protect us from further harm.
By definition, love made you better than good enough; it redefined perfection to include your traits, instead of excluding them.
The definition of a page-turner really aught to be that this page is so good, you can't bear to leave it behind, but then the next page is there and it might be just as amazing as this one.
