3 December 2020 Robert South It is the work of fancy to enlarge, but of judgment to shorten and contract and therefore this must be as far above the other as judgment is a greater and nobler faculty than fancy or imagination.
3 December 2020 Sherman Alexie I’m a method writer. In order to write about the emotion, I have to experience it. I get physically tired and exhausted, devoting hours and hours and hours to it.
3 December 2020 James Laughlin I think that is where poetry reading becomes such an individual thing. I mean I have friend who like poets who just don’t say anything to me at all, I mean they seem to me rather ordinary and pedestrian.
3 December 2020 Charles Kennedy Politics is much too serious to be taken too seriously equally, there are many aspects of it so laughable as to be lamentable.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe The art world can be very intimidating because it’s just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you’re never going to be able to catch up immediately, even though there’s pressure to.
3 December 2020 Bill Cosby A word to the wise ain’t necessary – it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.
3 December 2020 Michelle Pfeiffer I worked so hard for so long – I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school.
3 December 2020 Gabriel Garcia Marquez I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.
3 December 2020 David Edwards I don’t care how famous a guitarist is, he ain’t learned everything. There’s always somewhere to go, something to mash up, but he ain’t found it yet. You never learn everything on that guitar neck.
3 December 2020 Robert Musil The thought came to me that all one loves in art becomes beautiful. Beauty is nothing but the expression of the fact that something is being loved. Only thus could she be defined.
3 December 2020 David Duchovny You’re raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it’s special. I think people react to celebrities like that – I mean, they treat celebrities like children.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I genuinely don’t feel that anything that’s been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that’s the most important thing as far as I’m concerned.
3 December 2020 Maya Lin I really enjoyed hanging out with some of the teachers. This one chemistry teacher, she liked hanging out. I liked making explosives. We would stay after school and blow things up.
3 December 2020 Karen Mills Small businesses pay 18 percent more than big businesses for health care, the same health care, just because they’re small and they have too small a pool of risk.
3 December 2020 Carol Bellamy While the technology revolution has yet to reach far into the households of those in developing countries, this is certainly another area where more developed countries can assist those in the less developed world.
3 December 2020 Martin Puryear At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.
3 December 2020 Scott Caan In Hollywood today, it’s cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don’t get it.
3 December 2020 Bruce Cockburn I woke up one morning with this song in my head, and the opening line of the song is, ‘My name was Richard Nixon, only now I’m a girl.’
3 December 2020 Robert Smith There’s no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I’d sit down and doze off.
3 December 2020 Cesare Pavese If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.
3 December 2020 Ellie Goulding ‘I Know You Care’ is really personal and fragile for me. For me, it’s about losing a family member and also about a breakup. It’s about this idea of losing someone for good.
3 December 2020 John Sununu Growing up, I was encouraged to get a good education, get a real job doing something I enjoyed, and, should the opportunity present itself, consider public service as just that: a chance to serve, not an end in itself.
3 December 2020 Colin Quinn That’s the beauty of being a comedian – it’s the one job you’re allowed to do that. We’re lucky. We’re really lucky.
3 December 2020 Alessandra Ambrosio In the summer I wear shorts with a bright top and ankle boots or just sandals. I’ll add a nice scarf, maybe a hat, some cool sunglasses. It’s all about the accessories.
3 December 2020 Mahatma Gandhi It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
3 December 2020 Shimon Peres You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don’t give equal rights to women, you can’t progress.
