3 December 2020 Hugh Hefner I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such, which probably explains why, since the end of my marriage, I’ve dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

3 December 2020 Jack White I keep guitars that are, you know, the neck’s a little bit bent and it’s a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.
3 December 2020 Chris Evans What if I couldn’t handle people’s opinions of me? I know that shouldn’t dictate a person’s degree of peace or happiness in life, but the problem is, I chose a business saturated in judgment.
3 December 2020 William Blake It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
3 December 2020 Ralph Waldo Emerson Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.
3 December 2020 Giada De Laurentiis My grandfather gave me inspiration to cook, and love food and flavors. My Aunt Raffie, gave me creativity and the inspiration to create new things. My mother inspires me to find simplicity in food.
3 December 2020 Michael Hutchence I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I’ll admire it but I wouldn’t copy their style.
3 December 2020 Lord Chesterfield To have frequent recourse to narrative betrays great want of imagination.

3 December 2020 Jerry Saltz These days, newish art can be priced between $10,000 and $25,000. When I tell artists that a new painting by a newish artist should go for around $1,200, they look at me like I’m a flesh-eating virus.
3 December 2020 Pamela Anderson I was never an ambitious girl, or even a self-confident one. I never went in for beauty pageants or wore a stitch of make-up until I went to Los Angeles.

3 December 2020 Ben Savage I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you’re dating or seeing have something special and it’s a more special occasion.
3 December 2020 Kenneth Scott Latourette Christianity emerged from the religion of Israel. Or rather, it has as its background a persistent strain in that religion. To that strain Christians have looked back, and rightly, as the preparation in history for their faith.
3 December 2020 Henry Miller In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
3 December 2020 Donny Osmond Maybe I am a little bit guilty of trying to convince myself that I am cool to this point – even today. But I am so much more healthy than I used to be in my twenties, because I was not accepted at all.
