3 December 2020 Alexander Payne I don’t feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.
3 December 2020 Eleanor Mondale I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud… that was pretty cool.
3 December 2020 Maurice Maeterlinck At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past.
3 December 2020 Jeffrey Sachs There’s a lot of strength in the U.S., but there’s a lot of froth also. The froth will blow off. We’re going to have to face up to some realities that we’re not fully facing up to right now.
3 December 2020 Daniel Pipes Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.
3 December 2020 Jenna Ushkowitz At one point, I even thought, ‘Oh, I’ll take diet pills.’ I tried it for one day, and I thought my heart was going to explode. It’s awful, and I would never, ever recommend it.
3 December 2020 Bill Vaughan It would be nice if the poor were to get even half of the money that is spent in studying them.
3 December 2020 Marla Gibbs I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.
3 December 2020 Morris Chestnut When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
3 December 2020 Philip Pullman True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Jekyll There is no spot of ground, however arid, bare or ugly, that cannot be tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight.
3 December 2020 Kate Millett Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.
3 December 2020 Lily Tomlin I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
3 December 2020 Ralph Waldo Emerson Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
3 December 2020 Francesca Annis I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I’ve just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone’s 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
3 December 2020 Samuel L. Jackson I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.

3 December 2020 Eden Ahbez Some white people hate black people, and some white people love black people, some black people hate white people, and some black people love white people. So you see it’s not an issue of black and white, it’s an issue of Lovers and Haters.

3 December 2020 Atticus Shaffer Just recently I was in Target with my mom shopping, and out of the blue, I see this father and his two daughters and he says, ‘Can they get a picture with you?’ And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Am I the one millionth customer or something?’
3 December 2020 Kristen Wiig There’s something about a Christmas sweater that will always make me laugh.
3 December 2020 George Hickenlooper I’m fascinated by failure, and I’m fascinated by finality. Shakespeare’s historical plays are more universal than his comedies because they relate to the finality of life. Without finality, life would not be beautiful.
