The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.

Danger
There is danger atop our heads;
There is danger around us all;
There is danger beneath our feet;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger in the skies;
There is danger in the seas;
There is danger ev’n on land;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger from earth’s bowels;
There is danger in forests;
There is danger in hills, vales;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger from our brethren;
There is danger from kith, kin;
There is danger from strangers;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger within us;
There is danger from space;
There is danger to our soul;
Nevertheless, God protects us.

The great difference between screen acting and theatre acting is that screen acting is about reacting - 75% of the time, great screen actors are great reactors.

I love acting with kids, cause they're great acting partners. They're totally present. Even when they're acting, they're still available and you can crack them up or something weird will happen and they'll go with it.

Great Pride
I have a day of great pride,
My hazards excel the side
I call danger, an abrupt end,
An excellent way to bend
The light inside and outside.
Alone my nightmares clash,
Wherever my burdens bash.
On the right laws is my mind
And after impressions of the blind
The nights do send an electricity.

But I think the other is a little more like bullfighting, a little more daring and although I appreciate good acting and I liked being versatile my whole career, it kept me working.

Love Crime
I didnt know what to say
I tried to look the other way
When I saw you there with him
Acting like I dont care
But you can read from how I stare
That Im hurting deep inside
But even though you look so good tonight
Ill be fine
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
Its a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
Its a love crime to me
Love has never been good to me
Maybe its just my destiny
To live my life alone
Who was I trying to fool
Thinking our love would break the rule
Still Im standing on my own
And even though you look so good tonight
Ill be fine
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
Its a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
Its a love crime to me
Here I am not knowing
Tell me what to do
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
Its a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
Its a love crime to me

No Snow
There is no snow in winter so long,
The trembling mother who is song
Can bring safety to white light
Accusing safe horizons to open by sight.
The snow loved the dust of the never land,
Acting so bare, the woman fed the milk and
Kept an arm open for the joining of hands,
These cross lovely feelings accompanied us in the borderlands.
How do questions arise for the fruit of the sky?
An apple decides its taste from those who eat and sigh.
My food originates from danger, full danger
Of great snow, great snow that lived with glamour.
What is worth glass and its blowing of the cold ice?
A window is prostrate for forming advice.
The worthy men and families shall bring their bellies
With food and winter acts, all with an ease.

Daring Night
In the daring night when all the
Stars are shining bright
Squeeze me dont leave me
In the daring night
Galactic swirl in the firmament tonight
Oh with the lord of the dance
With the lord of the dance
In the daring night
I see orion and the hunters
Standing by the light of the moon
In the daring night
In the daring night
And the heart and the soul
As we look up in awe and wonder at the heavens
Oh and we go with the lord of the dance
With the lord of the dance, the lord of the dance
In the daring night
In the daring night when all the stars are
Shining bright
Oh baby squeeze me dont leave me in the daring night
In the firmament we move, we move and we live
And we have our being
Squeeze me dont leave, leave me in the daring night
In the firmament we move and galactic swirl
And we live and we breathe and have our being
Baby in the daring light
Darling squeeze me squeeze me
Dont ever leave me in the daring night
When all the stars are shining bright
And dont let go, and dont let go
Dont let go dont let go in the daring night
And we move and we move, and we move and we move
Baby dont let go in the daring night
In the daring night when all the stars are
Shining bright
Baby squeeze me dont leave me in the daring night
Capture it all oh with the lord of the dance
Oh with the lord of the dance in the daring night
With the lord of the dance in the daring night
With the lord of the dance and the great goddess
Of the eternal wisdom
Standing by the light of the moon in the daring night
And the bodies move and we sweat
And have our being
Dont leave me in the daring night
In the daring night when all the stars are
Shining bright
Squeeze me dont leave me
Baby in the daring night
Squeeze me dont leave me etc.

The present danger which this country faces is at least as great as the danger which we faced during the war with Germany and Japan. Briefly stated, it is the very real danger that this country, as we know it, may cease to exist.

It is in silence, denial, evasion and suppression that danger really lies, not in open and free analysis and discussion … everywhere there seems to be a fear of reliance upon that ancient device so gloriously celebrated by John Milton three hundred years ago — the device of unlimited inquiry. Let us put aside resolutely that great fright, tenderly and without malice, daring to be wrong in something important rather than right in some meticulous banality, fearing no evil while the mind is free to search, imagine, and conclude, inviting our countrymen to try other instruments than coercion and suppression in the effort to meet destiny with triumph, genially suspecting that no creed yet calendared in the annals of politics mirrors the doomful possibilities of infinity.

Knowing
There is a danger of knowing too much
knowing too much danger
Crossing a road without looking
Taking a risk with your cooking
A danger in knowing
There is a danger in knowing too much
Having digitalised lives
synched to computer
GOOGLED
There is a danger
Is there a danger in knowing?
Too much danger?
Too much knowing?
Too much?
we have/are becoming
More like a shopping mall
Packed full of brands
And gadgets
our apps additives
There is a danger of losing your child
In a shopping mall
Losing your self
In the underground
A danger in knowing
A danger in looking
The sign
The times
Are a changing
A danger of unseeing
Unliving
A danger of touching the edge of extinction
Without feeling
Bottled emotions
Formaladehyde Brains
Mask for a face
Stone for a heart
There is on a lighter note
A danger in eating my cooking
Knowing too much
Too soon
Too late
or a danger of knowing nothing
Simply eating what's arrived on your plate

It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.
Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It's difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it's the greatest gift we have.

Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring.
