3 December 2020 Charles Rangel If there’s no relationship with a father who’s absent, nobody talks about it.
3 December 2020 James Humes One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active not passive observers.
3 December 2020 E. W. Howe A boy doesn’t have to go to war to be a hero he can say he doesn’t like pie when he sees there isn’t enough to go around.
3 December 2020 Taraji P. Henson I would love to do a biopic of a famous singer, like Diana Ross or Donna Summer, or an old jazz story that we haven’t seen before. I would love to do that! I would love to play Diana Ross ’cause she’s an icon. I’m salivating to do that.
3 December 2020 Alexander Smith How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.
3 December 2020 Christian Bale And being as I’m somebody who loves movies like The Machinist, I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies, and so I like to try each of them.
3 December 2020 Mitch Hedberg I wanted to buy a candle holder, but the store didn’t have one. So I got a cake.
3 December 2020 Jane Campion I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it’s not part of a sensible way of living. It’s a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously.
3 December 2020 Colin Quinn He is very dry but also very funny… I think people tend to feel odd when I do my act. Unless you are an ironic person, it’s not a good place for you to be.
3 December 2020 Michel de Montaigne I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind – and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.

3 December 2020 Joyce Carol Oates As a teacher at Princeton, I’m surrounded by people who work hard so I just make good use of my time. And I don’t really think of it as work – writing a novel, in one sense, is a problem-solving exercise.
3 December 2020 Eric Ries The United States is locked in a new arms race for that most precious resource – the future entrepreneurs upon whom economic growth depends. Substantial research shows that immigrants play a key role in American job creation.
3 December 2020 John Anderson We have to have a way of dealing with this that engenders confidence, trust, gives us every chance of getting the right outcome and boosts both sustainability and economic return at the same time.
3 December 2020 Richard Stallman If ebooks mean that readers’ freedom must either increase or decrease, we must demand the increase.
3 December 2020 Alex Haley When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.
3 December 2020 Dolph Lundgren I think by planning an exercise regime, your diet follows to some extent.
3 December 2020 George H. Mead To so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation.
3 December 2020 Ethan Hawke I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that, you’re objectifying yourself in some weird way.
3 December 2020 John Updike The inner spaces that a good story lets us enter are the old apartments of religion.
3 December 2020 Bear Grylls I try and eat really healthy when I’m home, but I certainly don’t eat worms and snakes.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno I’ve got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.
