3 December 2020 Pete Sampras It’s not easy to retire at 31. In one respect I was glad I was done. But after a few years of having fun, I got a little restless. When you’re 33, 34, and you don’t have a focus, you can get kind of lost. As a man, you feel a little bit unfulfilled.
3 December 2020 Frank Auerbach It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint, considering that one may not wake up the following morning.
3 December 2020 Abba Eban I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.
3 December 2020 Rian Johnson Teen movies often have an unspoken underlying premise in which high school is seen as less serious than the adult world. But when your head is encased in that microcosm it’s the most serious time of your life.
3 December 2020 William Blake When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
3 December 2020 Les Brown Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.
3 December 2020 Shawn Johnson I’m trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.
3 December 2020 William Makepeace Thackeray It is impossible, in our condition of Society, not to be sometimes a Snob.
3 December 2020 Adrienne Rich Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.
3 December 2020 Henry David Thoreau I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.
3 December 2020 Bell Hooks For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?
3 December 2020 E. M. Forster I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life.
3 December 2020 Nancy Kerrigan I was thrilled one year when I was younger when not only did my brothers get hockey sticks for Christmas – but I did too!
3 December 2020 Lindsey Buckingham When I work alone, my process is like painting. With Fleetwood Mac, it’s more like movie making.
3 December 2020 Ted Cruz My dad came from Cuba when he was a teenager not speaking English. And I grew up here speaking Spanglish. That’s the world in which I grew up, and that’s a world in which a lot of second generation immigrants find themselves.
3 December 2020 J. B. Priestley Britain, which in the years immediately before this war was rapidly losing such democratic virtues as it possessed, is now being bombed and burned into democracy.
3 December 2020 Paula Poundstone I have a very silly sense of humor. I’ve never laughed harder in my entire life than seeing someone with toilet paper stuck on the bottom of their shoe.
3 December 2020 Mick Mars When I drank, I had a very different attitude towards my playing. It was sloppier but I kind of liked it that way. It was like the alcohol was telling my mind what to do.
3 December 2020 Lech Walesa We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
3 December 2020 Christopher Reeve So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
3 December 2020 Cliff Martinez You’ll know if you’re a famous composer if 20 years from now your name appears on a pull-down menu in Band in a Box, alongside Hans Zimmer.
3 December 2020 Michael K. Powell I have a vision that’s about technology that empowers consumers over institutions.
