3 December 2020 Christopher Reeve What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that’s how I approached the part.
3 December 2020 David Brinkley Numerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.
3 December 2020 Roh Moo-hyun At times, we were forced to go through a history of dependence, unable to determine our own destiny. But today, we are at the threshold of a new turning point.
3 December 2020 Stevie Wonder Do you know, it’s funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.
3 December 2020 Sonny Terry So I went out and bought Hard Again by Muddy Waters. That was a big learning curve. I listened to that album again and again and again. James Cotton was the harmonica player on that album.
3 December 2020 Calvin Trillin I never eat in a restaurant that’s over a hundred feet off the ground and won’t stand still.
3 December 2020 Katherine Jenkins Growing up with my family gave me some of my best memories. I’d like to have a family of my own – slip away for a bit and do nothing but spend those early years with my children.
3 December 2020 Michael Porter If your goal is anything but profitability – if it’s to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader – you’ll hit problems.
3 December 2020 Agnes Macphail I do not want to be the angel of any home: I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality. After that is secured, then men and women can take turns being angels.
3 December 2020 Carrie-Anne Moss I shoplifted. I was about five years old, and I took a candy from a store. We paid for three of them, but I took four, and I went home and cried. My mom took me back, and I paid for the missing piece.

3 December 2020 Doris Day If it’s true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.
3 December 2020 Tony Kushner I find writing very difficult. It’s hard and it hurts sometimes, and it’s scary because of the fear of failure and the very unpleasant feeling that you may have reached the limit of your abilities.
3 December 2020 Albert Einstein I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
3 December 2020 Isaac Bashevis Singer Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.
3 December 2020 Geddy Lee I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.
3 December 2020 Glenn Hughes I heard the Beatles and the Stones, and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing, so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno I’m very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
