3 December 2020 Francis Bacon The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
3 December 2020 Minoru Yamasaki And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.
3 December 2020 Dame Edith Evans What I want to give in the theatre is beauty, that’s what I want to give.
3 December 2020 David Herbert Lawrence Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
3 December 2020 Robert Crais I had a big Akita, Yoshi, who was fabulous. I loved him. We lost him when he was 12, and I’ve never been able to replace him. Normally, most people lose a pet and get another and keep going on. But it just felt wrong to me it felt disloyal.

3 December 2020 Elvis Stojko My mom was a dancer, my dad’s a singer and I’ve always had that kind of music in my life.
3 December 2020 Otto Dix All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.
3 December 2020 Paul Farmer You can’t have public health without a public health system. We just don’t want to be part of a mindless competition for resources. We want to build back capacity in the system.
3 December 2020 Antonio Tabucchi My job is to look at what politics is doing, not be a politician myself.
3 December 2020 Mark Ruffalo My personal belief is that you carry your own water in a relationship. If you see a girl and you think she’s hot, that’s a very human reaction, but you don’t go and tell your spouse that, you know? So in one way it’s how you behave.
3 December 2020 Rainn Wilson I know what I look like – a weird, sad clown puppet. I’m fine with that.
