3 December 2020 Carol Burnett But I didn’t ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn’t even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.
3 December 2020 Bill Nye Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
3 December 2020 LeBron James I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!
3 December 2020 Marisa Tomei I’m not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don’t know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.
3 December 2020 Jaime King I’ve always been really athletic, which really helped, because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk, it required so much strength that if I didn’t have a base I don’t really know what I would have done.
3 December 2020 Karel Capek If one must fight or create, it is necessary that this be preceded by the broadest possible knowledge.
3 December 2020 Zhuangzi Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without for much knowledge is a curse.
3 December 2020 Diane Lane I was raised by free-spirited people, though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.
3 December 2020 Charles Caleb Colton Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.
3 December 2020 Alvin Toffler One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we’ll need a new definition.
3 December 2020 Guy Laliberte Originally the dream was about traveling and developing a job that would permit me to travel. And I decided to go into street performing because it was a traveling job it would let me go around the world.
3 December 2020 Rita Dove I was apprehensive. I feared every time I talked about poetry, it would be filtered through the lens of race, sex, and age.
3 December 2020 William Graham Sumner Men never cling to their dreams with such tenacity as at the moment when they are losing faith in them, and know it, but do not dare yet to confess it to themselves.
3 December 2020 Leonardo DiCaprio You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.
3 December 2020 Marco Rubio Of course there are critics who believe that no matter what we do, the Florida dream is over. They claim that we must accept the idea that inevitably our future is one of high taxes and big government.
3 December 2020 James Buchan In rising financial markets, the world is forever new. The bull or optimist has no eyes for past or present, but only for the future, where streams of revenue play in his imagination.
3 December 2020 Katy Perry I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that’s all you’ve got, it’s just boring. Everything I write, whether it’s happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it.
3 December 2020 Julius Erving And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight – I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub – there were things that I liked about it.
3 December 2020 David Sedaris It’s odd the things that people remember. Parents will arrange a birthday party, certain it will stick in your mind forever. You’ll have a nice time, then two years later you’ll be like, ‘There was a pony there? Really? And a clown with one leg?’
3 December 2020 Thomas Hood Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.

3 December 2020 Len Goodman I’ve never really been very good at marriage. It’s one of my failures. I’ve tried my best, but I do realise the common denominator is me it’s something I’m doing.
3 December 2020 John Krasinski You can’t do anything to be funny. That’s cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don’t make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.
3 December 2020 Terrence Howard Sometimes the only way to make palatable that which is appalling and apprehensive is to season it with some humor.
3 December 2020 Herbert Kaufman Only things the dreamers make live on. They are the eternal conquerors.
