3 December 2020 Tony Williams I’ve studied all my musical life, but learning is only good if you do something constructive with it.
3 December 2020 Peter Wright As a kid I quite fancied the romantic, Bohemian idea of being an artist. I expect I thought I could escape from the difficulties of maths and spelling. Maybe I thought I would avoid the judgement of the establishment.
3 December 2020 John McLaughlin I find Indian music very funky. I mean it’s very soulful, with their own kind of blues. But it’s the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground.
3 December 2020 Mike Tyson It’s good to know how to read, but it’s dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you’re reading.
3 December 2020 Marc Garneau I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.
3 December 2020 Thomas Aquinas It is possible to demonstrate God’s existence, although not a priori, yet a posteriori from some work of His more surely known to us.
3 December 2020 Henry A. Wallace Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.
3 December 2020 Guy Clark I get pretty much all the exercise I need walking down airport concourses carrying bags.
3 December 2020 Diablo Cody I wrote a screenplay for a ‘Sweet Valley High’ adaptation, and it’s really amazing to me how many women who are my age have responded to the idea and are excited about the movie.
3 December 2020 Maureen O'Hara There’s a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
3 December 2020 Anthony Trollope There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That’s a layer of transparency that’s sorely needed in America.
3 December 2020 Eleanor Roosevelt Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.
3 December 2020 Carly Fiorina Any work that’s worth doing has its challenges as well as its opportunities. That’s true if you’re running a business, it’s true if you’re trying to help on a campaign.
3 December 2020 Eric Schmidt The rise of Google, the rise of Facebook, the rise of Apple, I think are proof that there is a place for computer science as something that solves problems that people face every day.
3 December 2020 Russell Banks I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read – they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting.
3 December 2020 Andrew Cuomo Too often government responds to the whispers of lobbyists before the cries of the people.
3 December 2020 George Bernard Shaw There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.
3 December 2020 Ed Koch Stereotypes lose their power when the world is found to be more complex than the stereotype would suggest. When we learn that individuals do not fit the group stereotype, then it begins to fall apart.
3 December 2020 Phil McGraw There is nothing wrong with your marriage if you’re dealing with bills and kids and the broken garbage disposal and in-laws and work demands. That’s a normal marriage.
3 December 2020 Peter Carey I have written a memoir here and there, and that takes its own form of selfishness and courage. However, generally speaking, I have no interest in writing about my own life or intruding in the privacy of those around me.
3 December 2020 Emmylou Harris My parents were not very happy. They were very worried about me pursuing a career that even if I had talent might not give me the happiness and the success that they – any parent hopes for their child.
3 December 2020 Melissa George From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I’d use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
3 December 2020 Jennifer M. Granholm Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that’s not just measured in words or gestures.
3 December 2020 Thornton Wilder Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.
3 December 2020 Alanis Morissette I’m clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I’ll be writing books. I’m still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.
