I got a degree in sociology didn't read much fiction in college and I was a pretty political left-wing type of guy. I wanted to do some kind of work in social change and make things better for the poor man and I was very romantic and passionate about it.

In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.

I almost got a psychology degree I almost got a philosophy degree. I kept changing it so they couldn't make me graduate. I studied anthropology and eastern religion epistomology and astronomy... I took every interesting course I could find for nine years.

Coming out involves varying degrees of difficulty that are affected by class race religion and geography.

I think you can be cynical about religion on occasion and certainly skeptical about the degree to which some people use religion to manipulate other people.

I never saw heard nor read that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular but some degree of persecution.

The sublimity of administration consists in knowing the proper degree of power that should be exerted on different occasions.

I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

Any kind of anthemic song for the most part they're on the positive side of things. It's not hard to identify when a melody is just one degree too complicated or one degree too simple and where that line of pop memorability lies.

So my degree was in political science which I think was - the closest I could come to marketing is politics.
