3 December 2020 Dave Freudenthal Our citizens and those who have gone before us charted the broad outlines of where we need to go, and they would envy our opportunity to translate those dreams into action. And I believe they will judge us very harshly should we fail to act.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth Hurley I’ve always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I’m a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me.
3 December 2020 Beverly Sills There is a growing strength in women but it’s in the forehead, not the forearm.
3 December 2020 Thomas Hardy Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle.
3 December 2020 Jiddu Krishnamurti What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
3 December 2020 Julio Iglesias I listen to the people. That was a big reason for my life, maybe the main reason, I’m singing because I love it when people say to me, ‘Thank you.’ I thank them. It’s a marriage.
3 December 2020 Coretta Scott King Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.
3 December 2020 Robert Louis Stevenson To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.
3 December 2020 William Gurnall We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince’s hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner’s hand.
3 December 2020 Idris Elba There’s the argument that you can relate to someone who’s completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film, then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno People do dismiss ambient music, don’t they? They call it ‘easy listening,’ as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
3 December 2020 Alexis de Tocqueville The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.
3 December 2020 George Hickenlooper I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form.
3 December 2020 Peter King We can’t gather the intelligence we need to foil future attacks, if we are blindly granting terrorists the right to remain silent. But for some reason, we’ve already done that – with the terrorist who tried to bring down Flight 253.
3 December 2020 F. H. Bradley Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived. It is a pity that this is still the only knowledge of their wives at which some men seem to arrive.
3 December 2020 Shannen Doherty I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever done. Once I was married, I didn’t want to be a failure, so I stuck it out for six months, which was about six months too long.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Carroll For an adult, eating alone at McDonald’s is admitting a kind of defeat.
3 December 2020 Garrett Hardin In a finite world this means that the per capita share of the world’s goods must steadily decrease.
3 December 2020 Igor Sikorsky The work of the individual still remains the spark that moves mankind ahead even more than teamwork.
3 December 2020 Geoffrey Rush You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I’m a traitor to my country because I don’t have a sporting bone in my body.
3 December 2020 Patricia Hewitt We’re seeing quite a lot of people who really would like a return to class-based politics.
3 December 2020 Kim Weston No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don’t think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.
3 December 2020 Lucille Ball Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.
