12
When Oscar Niemeyer died on December 5, 2012, ten days before his 105th birthday, he was universally regarded as the very last of the twentieth century’s major architectural masters, an astonishing survivor whose most famous accomplishment, Brasilia, was the climactic episode of utopian High Modern urbanism.

My ability maps my own writing. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time biting licks from the really quick masters. That’s why I’m not very good at that sort of super-fast, shreddy sweeping. So I’ve never considered myself a traditionally good, fast-playing guitarist.
34
I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

Peter Morgan’s writing is so much about what you don’t say: you’re saying one thing but there’s 10 other things going on, and those are the best writers like Chekhov… they’re masters at a sort of naturalism, and yet there is all the subtext.
42
The most unrealistic thing I’ve ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don’t believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.

80
Sad to think that we won’t have any new stories from John Updike, one of the last century’s masters. But so many here in the two volumes of his collected stories, 186 by my count, stories to read, reread, savor over the course of a cold season. Updike’s genius in the short form spills out of these many, many pages.
81
I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.
82

88
Some of the Tories say, ‘She left school at 16, she doesn’t have a university degree, what does she know about education?’ I say, I may not have a degree – but I have a Masters in real life.

126
I’m like, ‘Why aren’t artists owning their masters? Why are labels robbing artists dry, and they have to spend all this time on tour to even break even?’ Like, what happened? Why are they promoting things that aren’t either socially conscious or elevating the human consciousness?
127
The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job, to teach. His first school, his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself.

When I made ‘Real,’ I recorded it over the phone in prison. I did it in a week. I had no idea what it was going to sound like. I couldn’t even listen to the masters before it came out, I couldn’t listen to 90% of the beats. I recorded 21 songs in seven days.
146
My father was one of the first Tae Kwon Do Masters to come to the states in the ’60s.

147
I probably remember the 1954 Masters more vividly than any of the others.
148
I believe we all have the capacity to be masters of many things, and there’s nothing that we can’t do. You can be a great actor and also be a great writer.

149
I lived in Atlanta for a couple of years while getting my masters at Georgia State. I thought I hated it at the time, but I’ve been back a couple of times since, and there’s no place I’ve lived to which returning is so much like visiting a place I only remember from my dreams.

It’s a question of not copying the masters, to look for something, good or bad, for oneself. To enter this liberated state of mind, one cannot copy the others.

It was a tough year for me, ’89, losing two Slam finals and losing another five finals. It wasn’t until I won the Masters, or what’s now called the ATP Finals, that things changed again. Suddenly I won seven tournaments in 1990 and became No. 1.

As a teenager, Tiger was self-assured and mature, yet also warm and charming. But the warm outward veneer gradually changed. When he pulled off his ‘win for the ages’ at the 1997 Masters, he already was sharing less of his softer, emotional side.
182
I just want people to know they are the masters of their own fortune and misfortune. A lot of us think that doctors and drugs are going to control and help us, but the reality is we’re our own best doctor.
183
I find historical figures in general very tricky because you feel at times that you’re serving two masters. Not only the arc and wonderful writing that comes with the show, but also the history of a person’s life.
184
I had my masters in public health, and the goal was to be a doctor, and organic chemistry let me know that that was not going to happen, as did my fear of blood.
185
I loved ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ Actually, not so much the actual playing as the creation of characters and the opportunity to roll twenty-sided dice. I loved those pouches of dice Dungeon Masters would trundle around, loved choosing what I was going to be: warrior, wizard, dwarf, thief.
186
I’m such a lover of golf, and I’ve been at the Masters a couple times, and I’ve been so blessed to get to play there.
187
I love Augusta. I get to cover what I consider to be the best golf tournament of the year, and I really would like to think that one day – God willing, CBS willing – I’d be able to say that I worked 50 Masters.
188
Plumbers can be masters, the guy who did my patio is a master, some people are masters at raising really great children.
189
Part of the problem of comedians doing specials every year – when the masters do it, it’s like, ‘Okay, I guess, go for it’ – but when people aren’t at the top of the top level, bits don’t get to cook long enough.

Dropbox sweats the user experience details as commendably as it masters the considerable engineering challenges required to reliably sync files everywhere a user may need them.
191
I always go to the Masters knowing I’m going to play well.
192
I think you have to serve a lot of masters when you’re doing a video game: you’re not just telling a linear story or doing something that’s all action.
193
Jazz is all about improvisation and it’s about the moment in time, doing it this way now, and you’ll never do it this way twice. I’ve studied the masters. Why would I want to play ball after the guys who sit on a bench? I want to play like Michael Jordan.
194
The people who run Hollywood are supposed to be masters at creating drama, suspense, thrills – at putting on a great show. If we knew not only who the winners were but also by how much they won, the Oscar show could actually be the Super Bowl of movies.
195
Pulse as an active means of expression, Stravinsky and Beethoven are the two masters of that.
196
I have two young sons that are very interested and work in real estate. I made it a policy they need to work five years in progressively responsible jobs outside of the company, preferably in New York, and then get a masters degree, so I am making it hard for them to join.
197
The Worlds was great, Masters was great, but that was sort of mission accomplished with the Triple Crown.
198
I was going to France to do my masters and my Ph.D., but I didn’t know how to say, ‘bonjour.’ You really feel like a baby, starting everything from scratch.
199
The greatest task before civilization at present is to make machines what they ought to be, the slaves, instead of the masters of men.
200
It’s hard to talk about it without sounding like a hippie. But trees are really inspiring to me. They’re like the masters of the earth.
201
Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which, their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do.
202
I am extremely proud that our cinema is being recognised in the West. I want Indian cinema to get its dignity, not by giving them the kind of films they expect from us, but by making cinema in a way that carries the legacy of the mainstream masters forward.
203
One of the things I stress to those I meet, especially young people, is that we are the heroes of our own lives, and we can be the masters of our own stories.
204
I just lived it and did my own thing without looking over my shoulder. I think I’m very lucky, considering when I started everything, and the fact that I have a masters in music, and I’ve always worked in music, and that’s what I wanted to do.
205
Plato said that virtue has no master. If a person does not honor this principle and rejoice in it, but is purchasable for money, he creates many masters for himself.
206
There were times in my career when I felt like I was serving several different masters, and for me, that wasn’t beneficial.
207
I modeled my work after contemporary masters of art house cinema but felt my voice was missing.
208
We cannot certainly, have any excuse either for taking any thing that belongs to our masters without their leave, or for being unfaithful in their business.
209
I think I’m the first 1990-born guy to win a Masters 1000, so it’s quite special to be the first one in a very strong group of guys. There are a lot of guys playing great, and hopefully there are going to be a lot more coming.

The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from.
