3 December 2020 Meghan O'Rourke My whole life, I had been taught to read and study, to seek understanding in knowledge of history, of cultures.
3 December 2020 John Ruskin The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education.
3 December 2020 Jeffrey Kluger Becoming food savvy is one thing, but it’s amazing how fast savvy turns to snooty, and snooty leaves you preparing three-hour meals that break your budget and that the kids won’t even eat.
3 December 2020 Trey Parker I bought a house for my mom, I bought a house for my dad, I bought a house for my sister.
3 December 2020 Saul Bellow If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things.
3 December 2020 Scott Cook We’re still in the first minutes of the first day of the Internet revolution.
3 December 2020 Frank Black I’m not saying that people have to listen to rock music. It’s a great, cool thing and it can really be liberating for a lot of people but, hey, so can Charles Dickens so I’m not going to judge.
3 December 2020 Martin Luther For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.
3 December 2020 Herschel Walker That person has to be accountable for himself. I think that’s what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else’s life.
3 December 2020 Paul Davies For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance.
3 December 2020 Louise Slaughter Contraceptives have a proven track record of enhancing the health of women and children, preventing unintended pregnancy, and reducing the need for abortion.
3 December 2020 Martin Luther King, Jr. It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.
3 December 2020 Christopher Morley All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim.
3 December 2020 Chris Pratt To go to the Oscars for Moneyball – that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow – that’s going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don’t have to go back to being a waiter. That’s still my main goal.
3 December 2020 Charlotte Bronte Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.
3 December 2020 Marvin Hamlisch There have been studies that clearly state that children who are exposed to arts education at a young age will in fact do markedly better in their SAT tests.
3 December 2020 Floyd Patterson The fighter loses more than his pride in the fight he loses part of his future. He’s a step closer to the slum he came from.
3 December 2020 Tori Spelling I just want to have a great relationship with my child and have a great family dynamic.
3 December 2020 Tom Wolfe The attitude is we live and let live. This is actually an amazing change in values in a rather short time and it’s an example of freedom from religion.
3 December 2020 Elbert Hubbard It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.
3 December 2020 Jenny Eclair I can’t watch other people doing comedy. As soon as somebody starts being funny I have to turn off because it upsets me. I get comedy indigestion. I just hate anybody else being funny. That’s my job.
3 December 2020 King Abdullah II If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work – because if they don’t, they won’t be around the next time the ballot box is open.
3 December 2020 Wallace Shawn For some reason, people find me funny. It’s quite hard to define why a thought is funny. It’s even harder to define why a person would be funny. It’s a word that I can’t define at all. But whether I know quite what it is or not, I seem to be it.
3 December 2020 Demian Bichir It would be sad if my best work had been 20 years ago and now I only had memories.
