3 December 2020 Martha Gellhorn Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It’s great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I’m not complaining,… Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven’t done what they wanted with their lives.

3 December 2020 Barbara Kruger What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing – the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
3 December 2020 George Washington There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.
3 December 2020 Jenna Bush I think I’ve become more like my mom just because of what we’re both interested in, children and teaching and writing.

3 December 2020 Tim McGraw I have three daughters, so I can’t be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids – especially daughters – they know how to work you. They’re a lot smarter than we are, that’s for sure. But I’ll be more tough on their boyfriends.
3 December 2020 Joseph Barbera I hate fishing, and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to hike when you can get in the car and drive.
