3 December 2020 Harry Browne I’m old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war.
3 December 2020 Sachin Tendulkar Beating Pakistan is always special because they are a tough team and we have a bit if a history regarding Pakistan.
3 December 2020 Jim Broadbent People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.
3 December 2020 Barbara Pym How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.
3 December 2020 Alice Cooper My fastest time in high school was a 4:29 mile. I think cross-country has something to do with my longevity in my business. When you’re in an eight-mile race, you never give up.
3 December 2020 Boris Yeltsin A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame.
3 December 2020 Frederik Pohl I did that for 40 years or more. I never had any writer’s block. I got up in the morning, sat down at the typewriter – now, computer – lit up a cigarette.
3 December 2020 Ludacris But it’s a blessing to be so successful within a year it’s the greatest feeling in the world, making money and doing the things that I’m doing, and I definitely trying to continue doing what I’m doing.
3 December 2020 Simone Weil We can only know one thing about God – that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it, the more we contemplate him.
3 December 2020 Gus Van Sant If you don’t have the story and the unfolding of the trajectory of the saga, it’s like getting in a car and not having any gas.
3 December 2020 Ernie Banks People ask me a lot about the values I got from playing for the Cubs for so many years. The value I got out of it was patience. A lot of people these days are not very patient.
3 December 2020 James Allen The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
3 December 2020 Jose Mourinho Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
3 December 2020 Paul Reiser I remember my wife and I used to get on plane and see everybody else with their babies. They’d be putting strollers and car seats up above, and we’d think: Oh, please Lord, don’t make us go through that.
3 December 2020 Alice Hoffman I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers’ works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies – what else is there to write about than love and loss?
3 December 2020 Sarah Ban Breathnach Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary.
3 December 2020 Ray Davies When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog – big as a donkey.
3 December 2020 Jennifer Morrison We’re in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything, and that’s what’s new about television and film these days.
3 December 2020 Marilyn Monroe I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
3 December 2020 Sara Gruen Gorillas are in danger of being wiped out by the Ebola virus. I feel like we have limited time to get to know them and understand them and they’re going to disappear – that’s terrifically sad. Wouldn’t it be great if we could stop that?
3 December 2020 Kid Rock My shows aren’t about trying to save some place, because I don’t feel that’s the right venue for it. That’s my politics right there: Don’t bring politics to my shows.
3 December 2020 Fulton J. Sheen Hearing nuns’ confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.
3 December 2020 Michael Showalter A lot of my humor centers on the act of telling jokes and I think this can prevent certain audiences from suspending their feeling of disbelief. It might piss a few people off, but I can’t help it.
3 December 2020 David Garrick You are indebted to you imagination for three-fourths of your importance.
3 December 2020 Aneurin Bevan I would rather be kept alive in the efficient if cold altruism of a large hospital than expire in a gush of warm sympathy in a small one.
3 December 2020 John Stuart Mill Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
3 December 2020 Sri Aurobindo She saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even now too great for its common intelligence.
