3 December 2020 Jerry Saltz I often find myself privately stewing about much British art, thinking that except for their tremendous gardens, that the English are not primarily visual artists, and are, in nearly unsurpassable ways, literary.

3 December 2020 Lyndon B. Johnson Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.
3 December 2020 Brad Henry Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.
3 December 2020 Richard Pryor I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren’t coming after me!

3 December 2020 Jean de la Bruyere The exact contrary of what is generally believed is often the truth.
3 December 2020 Sean William Scott We don’t have any CGI with any of the car stuff. I think it’s a real experience when you see this car going through really fast really wild and you see me driving a lot of the times and also a big chase in downtown Atlanta. It’s just incredible.
3 December 2020 Joan Didion Before I’d written movies, I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers – when you’ve got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people’s ability to do that.
