Quote examples
Stephen Hough
British Composer
At moments of acute joy or sorrow, men and women throughout history have sung or reached for musical instruments to express the inexpressible. When minds are taut with emotional entanglement, there seems to be an inner compulsive instinct to release and harness this tension through the measured vibrations in the air that we call music.
Quote examples
Ameen Rihani
Lebanese Writer
To be sure, we would not allow the world, if we can help it, to peep into our soul, much less to enter it. Our No-Man's-Land is hedged about with a wire entanglement of insincerities. And often we take refuge in a temperament, a pose, or a mystic mood.
Quote examples
Paramahansa Yogananda
Indian Leader
The physical ego, the active consciousness in man, should uplift its body-identified self into unity with the soul, its true nature; it should not allow itself to remain mired in the lowly delusive strata of the senses and material entanglement.
Quote examples
T. J. Miller
American Actor
One of the exciting things about an entanglement puzzle is there's no end to it. Once you solve how to take it apart, you have to solve how to put it back together.
Quote examples
Katherine Dunn
American Novelist
It's not unfair, I think, to describe boxers as a demographic little given to literary entanglement. In general, with exceptions, they prefer movies.
Quote examples
Cathy McMorris Rodgers
American Politician
Reducing the entanglement of Big Government in order to benefit people with disabilities should be a top priority for the Republican party.
Quote examples
Romano Prodi
Italian Statesman
Democracies must have equilibrium... and the entanglement of politics and information must be minimized.

Roger Penrose
English Physicist
Quantum entanglement is a very intriguing issue, but it is not impossible.
