3 December 2020 Barbara Deming We believe, in fact, that the one act of respect has little force unless matched by the other – in balance with it… The acting out of that dual respect I would name as precisely the source of our power.
3 December 2020 Ida B. Wells I came home every Friday afternoon, riding the six miles on the back of a big mule. I spent Saturday and Sunday washing and ironing and cooking for the children and went back to my country school on Sunday afternoon.
3 December 2020 Caroline Wozniacki My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she’ll always find the positive in things.
3 December 2020 Andrew Bird My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you’re still learning language. It’s using the same part of the brain.
3 December 2020 Abraham Lincoln The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed.
3 December 2020 Patricia Ireland Stewardesses are still paid so little that in many cases, new hires qualify for food stamps.

3 December 2020 Polly Toynbee But instead of standing up for reason, our government is handing education over to the world of faith.
3 December 2020 Germaine Greer Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It’s the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws.
3 December 2020 Frank Shorter Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It’s part of racing.
3 December 2020 Rick Mercer On my job I end up jumping out of planes. Last week I got in an 18-wheeler and drove down a runway onto a skid track. The week before that they put me in a car and sunk me to the bottom of a lake to see if I could escape without an oxygen tank.

3 December 2020 Thomas Jefferson Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.
3 December 2020 Fiona Apple Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now.

3 December 2020 Sarah Jessica Parker One of the things that’s great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making.
3 December 2020 Drew Brees I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people’s faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
