3 December 2020 William Bartram Having contemplated this admirable grove, I proceeded towards the shrubberies on the banks of the river, and though it was now late in December, the aromatic groves appeared in full bloom.
3 December 2020 Henry David Thoreau I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
3 December 2020 Harold Pinter There’s a tradition in British intellectual life of mocking any non-political force that gets involved in politics, especially within the sphere of the arts and the theatre.
3 December 2020 Jamie Oliver I’m probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.
3 December 2020 Mary Baker Eddy Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
3 December 2020 Charlie Sheen Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn’t make you want to jump into that business.
3 December 2020 Franz Grillparzer Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.
3 December 2020 Robert Green Ingersoll Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell.
3 December 2020 Richard Le Gallienne Modern science, then, so far from being an enemy of romance, is seen on every hand to be its sympathetic and resourceful friend, its swift and irresistible helper in its serious need, and an indulgent minister to its lighter fancies.
3 December 2020 Kim Basinger I feel there are two people inside me – me and my intuition. If I go against her, she’ll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.
3 December 2020 Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’ve set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.
3 December 2020 Bill Sienkiewicz So much of ‘Jaws’ was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
3 December 2020 Lydia M. Child Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture.
3 December 2020 Martin H. Fischer A doctor must work eighteen hours a day and seven days a week. If you cannot console yourself to this, get out of the profession.
3 December 2020 Alice Hoffman All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them – much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are.
3 December 2020 Christine O'Donnell I never had the high-paying job or the company car. It took me over a decade to pay off my student loans. I never had to worry about where to dock my yacht to reduce my taxes.
3 December 2020 Mark Mothersbaugh I don’t cook – I can cook – but I’m not very good. I like being asked over for dinner, because she can’t cook either. We would starve if it weren’t for modern technology. I know how to work a microwave, but love home cooked meals.
3 December 2020 Mika Brzezinski Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female’s success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.
3 December 2020 John Cleese If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.

3 December 2020 Katherine Heigl I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I’m not a big one for the rules.
3 December 2020 Emmanuelle Beart We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of ‘Manon,’ I wasn’t star-struck because I didn’t know what a star was.
3 December 2020 Knut Hamsun In old age we are like a batch of letters that someone has sent. We are no longer in the past, we have arrived.
3 December 2020 Dean Ween On tour, I’ll get up at 5 p.m. and go to bed at 8 in the morning. With fishing, it’s the exact opposite. Fishing is the only healthy thing I do. Touring is such a grind it’s the opposite of healthy.
