3 December 2020 Andy Warhol I’m the type who’d be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn’t going to. I’m the type who’d like to sit home and watch every party that I’m invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.
3 December 2020 Vidal Sassoon Realizing our society as it is, without theology dogmatically telling us how we should react to it, and being humane toward that society, that is all that we’re sure of.
3 December 2020 Chuck Close I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don’t recognize faces, so I’m sure it’s what drove me to portraits in the first place.
3 December 2020 Edgar Winter I really had little interest in becoming famous. When I write my book, it will be my guide to avoid becoming a rock star.
3 December 2020 Anatole France War will disappear only when men shall take no part whatever in violence and shall be ready to suffer every persecution that their abstention will bring them. It is the only way to abolish war.
3 December 2020 Robert Penn Warren The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough, you scratch it.
3 December 2020 June Carter Cash I worked with John, but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records, but I wanted to have a marriage.
3 December 2020 Thomas Moore And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch’d by the thorns.
3 December 2020 Alice Walker I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same time, there’s a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they’re not the same, ever again.
3 December 2020 Barbara Ehrenreich We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.
3 December 2020 Benjamin Disraeli Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I didn’t think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody – I didn’t think it described me very well and I didn’t think it had anything to do with my music.
3 December 2020 Vivienne Westwood If you saw Queen Elizabeth it would be amazing, she came from another planet. She was so attractive in what she was wearing.
3 December 2020 Henry Villard Senator Douglas was very small, not over four and a half feet height, and there was a noticeable disproportion between the long trunk of his body and his short legs. His chest was broad and indicated great strength of lungs.
3 December 2020 Claire McCaskill Corporate governance is a huge issue too. We don’t have women on these corporate boards. More than half of the students in law school are women, more than half of the women, I think, in medical school now are women.
3 December 2020 Chief Joseph We had good white friends who advised us against taking the war path. My friend and brother, Mr. Chapman, told us just how the war would end.

3 December 2020 George Strait Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it’s not my whole life.
3 December 2020 Henry Rollins I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
3 December 2020 James D'arcy I don’t have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill Besides the fact that I make movies, there’s nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
3 December 2020 Lev Grossman When it comes to true humility in the face of history, nothing beats complete silence.
