At these big set-piece events like the leaders' debates, that exterior of calm and serenity is nothing compared to what's going on inside most of the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting.
I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.
The British have a remarkable talent for keeping calm, even when there is no crisis.
The political environment we create matters because a disturbed person cannot always tell the difference between explosive rhetoric and explosive actions.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Everything we do is infused with the energy in which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we are peaceful, life will be peaceful.
To many men... the miasma of peace seems more suffocating than the bracing air of war.
I feel this is very important for us to have serene buildings because our civilization is chaotic as it is, you see; our whole machine age has brought about a chaos that has to be somehow counterbalanced, I think.
In the madness, you have to find calm.
Calmness is the cradle of power.
