3 December 2020 Ann Bancroft I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I’m lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.
3 December 2020 Joshua Foer Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network, we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web, the denser the experience of time.
3 December 2020 Marie de France For above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.
3 December 2020 Jose Serrano The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people’s private information such as library, medical, and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise.
3 December 2020 Blaise Pascal All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
3 December 2020 Aaron Carter Love shouldn’t be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can’t have that from the get-go, there’s a problem.
3 December 2020 Eleanor Roosevelt We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
3 December 2020 Aly Raisman Especially in the car ride to and from gym. I find myself spacing out a lot, just visualizing what the Olympics would be like and just having such great role models.
3 December 2020 Ernest Hemingway The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
3 December 2020 Hilary Duff It’s not attractive when girls get superskinny. Guys don’t like it. Girls don’t like you as much. You lose some happiness when that’s all you think about.
3 December 2020 Dale Carnegie You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.
3 December 2020 Jeff Bridges In life and in movies, it’s a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.
3 December 2020 Terry Eagleton Dawkins considers that all faith is blind faith, and that Christian and Muslim children are brought up to believe unquestioningly. Not even the dim-witted clerics who knocked me about at grammar school thought that.
3 December 2020 Richard Hatch I love revolutionaries who have the courage to stand up against the status quo. They’re always misunderstood, but they’re the ones who are standing up for human rights.
3 December 2020 Susie Orbach If you continually diet, you are putting your body in a quasi-famine situation. It slows your metabolism down and breaks the thermostat. Diets don’t work. They don’t help you understand why you’re eating more than your body wanted in the first place.
3 December 2020 Angela Davis I grew up in the southern United States in a city which at that time during the late ’40’s and early ’50’s was the most segregated city in the country, and in a sense learning how to oppose the status quo was a question of survival.
3 December 2020 Immanuel Kant Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
3 December 2020 Neil Young I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It’s a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That’s a real danger.
3 December 2020 Nicolas Cage I bought a Yamaha-1 and I was doing 180 miles per hour home on the 405 and that’s really, really crazy but I did it.
