People who pay greater respect to a wealthy villain than to an honest, upright man in poverty, almost deserve to be enslaved; they plainly show that wealth, however it may be acquired, is, in their esteem, to be preferred to virtue. ~ John Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by John Hancock
There are all kinds of ways to challenge ourselves. Some people do it by climbing a mountain or scuba diving. The most profound and challenging ordeals is to drink Ayahuasca. It is in a way the ultimate adventure. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
So much of what I create has been due to the influence of Miles Davis and Donald Byrd, and so many of those that have passed on. Their music, their legacy lives on with the rest of us because we are so highly influenced by their experience and what they have given us. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
Jazz translates the moment into a sense of inspiration for not only the musicians but for the listeners. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
A man doesn't have to be alive to start the fires of revolution. ~ Karen Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Karen Hancock
Not for the first time I felt myself confronted by the dizzying possibility that an entire episode in the story of mankind might have been forgotten. Indeed it seemed to me then, as I overlooked the mathematical city of the gods from the summit of the Pyramid of the Moon, that our species could have been afflicted with some terrible amnesia and that the dark period so blithely and dismissively referred to as `prehistory' might turn out to conceal unimagined truths about our own past. What is prehistory, after all, if not a time forgotten--a time for which we have no records? What is prehistory if not an epoch of impenetrable obscurity through which our ancestors passed but about which we have no conscious remembrance? It was out of this epoch of obscurity, configured in mathematical code along astronomical and geodetic lines, that Teotihuacan with all its riddles was sent down to us. And out of that same epoch came the great Olmec sculptures, the inexplicably precise and accurate calendar the Mayans inherited from their predecessors, the inscrutable geoglyphs of Nazca, the mysterious Andean city of Tiahuanaco ... and so many other marvels of which we do not know the provenance. It is almost as though we have awakened into the daylight of history from a long and troubled sleep, and yet continue to be disturbed by the faint but haunting echoes of our dreams ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
I've never really been interested in doing a solo piano tour. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
Like no matter what happens, this would be the ultimate, they can make something positive happen. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
It's lovely loving, isn't it? In fact, I find it almost better, because being loved sometimes embarrasses me, but loving is a gift. ~ Sheila Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Sheila Hancock
Somebody might say that they always wanted to be a fly-fishing guide in Montana and maybe they'll never get to do that but just by the virtue of having said it out loud, I think there's some power in that. ~ John Lee Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by John Lee Hancock
The most unhappy people in the world are those who face the days without knowing what to do with their time. But if you have more projects than you have time for, you are not going to be an unhappy person. This is as much a question of having imagination and curiosity as it is of actually making plans. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Riney Hancock quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers or products and not really asking any of the questions. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
All you have to do is play one note. But it needs to be the right note. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
Jazz is really about the human experience. It's about the ability of human beings to take the worst of circumstances and struggles and turn it into something creative and constructive. That's something that's built into the fiber of every human being. And I think that's why people can respond to it. They feel the freedom in it. And the attributes of jazz are also admirable. It's about dialogue. It's about sharing. And teamwork. It's in the moment, and it's nonjudgmental. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
There can be no more intimate and elemental part of the individual than his or her own consciousness. At the deepest level, our consciousness is what we are - to the extent that if we are not sovereign over our own consciousness then we cannot in any meaningful sense be sovereign over anything else either. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
You set out to tell a good story. You don't do it because there is a deep message involved because the movie is almost always bad when you do that. ~ John Lee Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by John Lee Hancock
When the blind lead the blind, they all fall in the canal. ~ Tony Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Tony Hancock
Come all you mad and raging fearless friends of war and peace,
Come all you sad self-righteous frightened friends down on your bended knees,
All beings on this earth, you must not harm them;
All weapons you hold deep within your heart, you must disarm them.
Every man you meet's your son.
Every woman is your daughter.
Go find someeone who's thirsty,
And give them water. ~ Butch Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Butch Hancock
Take whatever happens and try to make it work. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
The town, although it had "suffered greatly," was not in as bad shape as he had expected, he wrote to John Hancock, "and I have a particular pleasure in being able to inform you, sir, that your house has received no damage worth mentioning." Other fine houses had been much abused by the British, windows broken, furnishings smashed or stolen, books destroyed. But at Hancock's Beacon Hill mansion all was in order, as General Sullivan also attested, and there was a certain irony in this, since the house had been occupied and maintained by the belligerent General James Grant, who had wanted to lay waste to every town on the New England coast. "Though I believe," wrote Sullivan, "the brave general had made free with some of the articles in the [wine] cellar. ~ David McCullough
Riney Hancock quotes by David McCullough
A team of Japanese engineers had recently tried to build a 35-feet-high replica of the Great Pyramid (rather smaller than the original, which was 481 feet 5 inches in height). The team started off by limiting itself strictly to techniques proved by archaeology to have been in use during the Fourth Dynasty. However, construction of the replica under these limitations turned out to be impossible and, in due course, modern earth-moving, quarrying and lifting machines were brought to the site. Still no worthwhile progress was made. Ultimately, with some embarrassment, the project had to be abandoned. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
I hope to use dialogue and culture as a means of bringing people of various cultures together, and using that as a way to resolve conflict. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
One of the most important functions of jazz has been to encourage a hope for freedom, for people living in situations of intolerance or struggle. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
There are a lot of records coming out, in every field of music, not just jazz. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
That's my life: continually stepping up to and away from the edge of a hole that is by turn fascinating and terrifying- filled with whatever my faulty imagination dictates at any given time. It is absolutely imperative that I keep my distance, but the closer I get, the better I feel. Or the worse, And that's the ridiculous irony because I am compulsively drawn to this danger, and the closer I get, the closer I want to be. Those depths hold unimaginable escape-at times utter exhilaration, at others, pain so intense I can't begin to describe it. Either way the edge calls to me with it's lies that sound like promises. Soft seductive lies that I can't always resist. ~ Ka Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Ka Hancock
It takes some skill to navigate this disorder. It takes some grit to control it so it doesn't control me. Sometimes it takes a guide. For me it takes a destination. Lucy is my destination. Whether I'm cowered in a dark corner or perched on a blindingly bright plateau, my aim is always to get back to her. ~ Ka Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Ka Hancock
Thabit ibn Qurra (AD 836-901, and also born in Harran), would have had little patience with loaded terms like "star idolatry" which seek to place the "paganism" of the Sabians on a lower level than the deadly, and often bigoted, narrow-minded and unscientific clerical monotheism of religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Thabit was well aware that, underlying the ancient Sabian practices misunderstood by these young religions as "star idolatry," were indeed exact sciences of great benefit to mankind, and thus he wrote: 'Who else have civilized the world, and built the cities, if not the nobles and kings of Paganism? Who else have set in order the harbors and rivers? And who else have taught the hidden wisdom? To whom else has the Deity revealed itself, given oracles, and told about the future, if not the famous men among the Pagans? The Pagans have made known all this. They have discovered the art of healing the soul; they have also made known the art of healing the body. They have filled the earth with settled forms of government, and with wisdom, which is the highest good. Without Paganism the world would be empty and miserable. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
you have to learn how to breathe with pieces of your heart piercing your lungs. trust somebody you shouldn't, make a bad decision. but always learn from your mistakes. too many wrong moves will kill you. ~ Catarine Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Catarine Hancock
I look for what's of value and extract that. I don't look to criticize. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
Though we are politically enemies, yet with regard to Science it is presumable we shall not dissent from the practice of civilized people in promoting it ~ John Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by John Hancock
Ancient Egypt, like that of the Olmecs (Bolivia), emerged all at once and fully formed. Indeed, the period of transition from primitive to advanced society appears to have been so short that it makes no kind of historical sense. Technological skills that should have taken hundreds or even thousands of years to evolve were brought into use almost overnight-- and with no apparent antecedents whatever. For example, remains from the pre-dynastic period around 3500 BC show no trace of writing. Soon after that date, quite suddenly and inexplicably, the hieroglyphs familiar from so many of the ruins of Ancient Egypt begin to appear in a complete and perfect state. Far from being mere pictures of objects or actions, this written language was complex and structured at the outset, with signs that represented sounds only and a detailed system of numerical symbols. Even the very earliest hieroglyphs were stylized and conventionalized; and it is clear that an advanced cursive script was it common usage by the dawn of the First Dynasty. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
I don't believe that consciousness is generated by the brain. I believe that the brain is more of a reciever of consciousness. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
Globalization means we have to re-examine some of our ideas, and look at ideas from other countries, from other cultures, and open ourselves to them. And that's not comfortable for the average person. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
People are afraid to spend money now because they dont know how long theyre going to be working. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
I think any time you've got a story based on a true story, no matter how accurate it is, obviously it's still fictitious. ~ John Lee Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by John Lee Hancock
My sense is that we are missing a huge part of the human story. I think it's possible, indeed probable, that we are a species with amnesia; that we've lost the record of our story going back thousands of years before so-called history began, and I think that if we could go back to that dark epoch, we would discover many astounding things about ourselves. ~ Graham Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Graham Hancock
I hope that I can make good music out of whatever genre I go into. Just to prove to myself that I can. ~ Herbie Hancock
Riney Hancock quotes by Herbie Hancock
I John Hancock, ... being advanced in years and being of perfect mind and memory-thanks be given to God-therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing it is appointed for all men once to die [Hebrews 9:27], do make and ordain this my last will and testament ... Principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it: and my body I recommend to the earth ... nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mercy and power of God ... ~ John Hancock
