3 December 2020 Marguerite Young I’m quite sure that most writers would sustain real poetry if they could, but it takes devotion and talent.
3 December 2020 Roald Hoffmann I am a teacher, and I am proud of it. At Cornell University I have taught primarily undergraduates, and indeed almost every year since 1966 have taught first-year general chemistry.
3 December 2020 Howard Baker I intend to travel to Okinawa and to visit with Okinawa officials and the citizens of Okinawa at an early date. I will send my best analysis of that situation, including the local attitudes, back to Washington, to the government there.
3 December 2020 Stephen Hawking The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
3 December 2020 Barbara Tuchman The fleet sailed to its war base in the North Sea, headed not so much for some rendezvous with glory as for rendezvous with discretion.
3 December 2020 Jessica Savitch It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
3 December 2020 Christian Bale I don’t get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can’t help but feel like this reduces it a little bit.
3 December 2020 Evander Holyfield Deep down, I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it’s finally all over. When, at last, I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it’ll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments, y’know, always come with just a little sadness.
3 December 2020 William Shakespeare How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
3 December 2020 St. Vincent I remember looking at the sky and thinking that the universe is so big and it’s all chaos. I call it ‘the dark fear.’ At any moment, the dark fear could come in.
3 December 2020 Michelle Kwan I don’t really remember a time younger than 5 years old that I didn’t have skates on because all I can remember is every day, tying up my skates and a big smile on my face, excited to go on the ice.
3 December 2020 Kevyn Aucoin Another thing that’s pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.
3 December 2020 George Wald Science goes from question to question big questions, and little, tentative answers. The questions as they age grow ever broader, the answers are seen to be more limited.
3 December 2020 Guy Clark Darrell is really good in the studio. I mean, he has a real working knowledge of how the process works, and what sounds good coming back over tape, and how the stuff works together.
3 December 2020 Daniel Boone May the same Almighty Goodness banish the accursed monster, war, from all lands, with her hated associates, rapine and insatiable ambition!
3 December 2020 Gail Simmons I cannot go to Montreal without going to Beauty’s, my favorite place for breakfast, where I have the Mish-Mash omelet with hot dogs, salami, eggs, green peppers, and onions, and the best banana bread in the world. It’s legendary!
3 December 2020 Rafael Palmeiro I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I’m worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don’t, I gave it all that I had to this game.
3 December 2020 Carl Van Vechten As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
3 December 2020 Mikhail Bakunin Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.
3 December 2020 Rick Baker It’s funny: I’ve been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don’t really have an agent – I don’t really pursue jobs, I let people come to me.
3 December 2020 Charles Peguy Homer is new this morning, and perhaps nothing is as old as today’s newspaper.
3 December 2020 Geri Halliwell The truth sets you free. It’s a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It’s amazing.
3 December 2020 Alexander Graham Bell Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
3 December 2020 Ian MacKaye I think sometimes my humor is extremely dry, and a lot of times I would say things that I thought were very funny but… I have a reputation of – people think of me as a very fundamentalist, humorless fellow.
3 December 2020 Dave Lombardo One of the great bands we opened up for was Priest back in ’89. That was really great because at that time we had never met them, never toured with them before. They were a big influence on Slayer, so to open up for them was really cool.
