3 December 2020 Baruch Spinoza I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

3 December 2020 Chris Christie The truth was you can’t continue to spend the kind of money our spending on all these entitlement programs. I think we need more people in public life who are willing to say, no, we can’t afford certain things. No, we can’t do certain things.

3 December 2020 Diane Arbus Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.
3 December 2020 Tyra Banks Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can’t we just be the sexy American girl next door?

3 December 2020 Emily Procter To say that I am organized is an understatement, but my car tells a different story.

3 December 2020 Sam Raimi My father told me to dress to reflect the respect you have for the people around you. I’ve never forgotten that.
