3 December 2020 Taryn Manning It’s really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer, and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies, it’s cool.
3 December 2020 Norm Crosby I was the first spokesperson for the Better Hearing Institute in Washington. And that’s the message we tried to send out – there is hearing help out there, and the technology and options are amazing.
3 December 2020 Tom Hooper In ‘The King’s Speech,’ patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasn’t become complicated over time.
3 December 2020 Michel de Montaigne Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.
3 December 2020 Germaine Greer Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.
3 December 2020 Clement Clarke Moore As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
3 December 2020 Catherine Keener These days there are a lot of people who just want to be famous. I think that comes from a naive place, because those people generally don’t know what it’s like.
3 December 2020 Kate Chopin I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.
3 December 2020 Edward Thorndike The real difference between a man’s scientific judgments about himself and the judgment of others about him is he has added sources of knowledge.
3 December 2020 Doc Hastings As efforts to fix this failure at the Veterans Administration continue, I also intend to persist in demanding answers and action on the establishment of a new clinic to serve the veterans in North Central Washington.
3 December 2020 Mika Brzezinski I was fired at the pinnacle of my career, on my 39th birthday. And in the year that followed, I learned that there are many psychological phases of being ‘let go.’
3 December 2020 Jean-Jacques Rousseau Money is the seed of money, and the first guinea is sometimes more difficult to acquire than the second million.
3 December 2020 Hamilton Jordan I went to my son’s graduation this weekend, and I heard a great quote I’ve never heard before from Albert Einstein. It was that the greatest danger to the world is not the bad people but it’s the good people who don’t speak out.
3 December 2020 Jason Mraz I listened to the radio, so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

3 December 2020 David Hockney What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn’t be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

3 December 2020 Tom T. Hall Religion is a strange, wonderful thing. More crimes have been committed in the name of righteousness than any other notion.
3 December 2020 Kathleen Turner I’m not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me.
3 December 2020 Lester B. Pearson As for the promotion of peace congresses we have had our meetings and assemblies, but the promotion through them of the determined and effective will to peace displaying itself in action and policy remains to be achieved.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans – but I also like to look good. I like feeling really well put together, I just don’t have the aptitude and the knowledge to do that.
3 December 2020 Thomas Carlyle The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious.
