3 December 2020 Glen Hansard The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

3 December 2020 Charles de Montesquieu I have never known any distress that an hour’s reading did not relieve.
3 December 2020 Nina Arianda I was into opera as a kid – I’d play ‘Carmen’ and sing and dance. My mom signed me up for a theater group before preschool, and I never looked back.
3 December 2020 Dick Dale I don’t play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul.
3 December 2020 Harry Houdini I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it, with my family, while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country, though I am an American, and am loyal to my country.

3 December 2020 Jack LaLanne Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole milk, all this fat. People don’t realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating.
