3 December 2020 Andre Dubus III My mother was making $135 a week, but she had resilience and imagination. She might take frozen vegetables, cook them with garlic, onion and Spam, and it would taste like a four-star dinner.
3 December 2020 Cobi Jones I’ve been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It was an honor to represent the U.S. and to represent the city of Los Angeles and California.
3 December 2020 David Byrne To some extent I happily don’t know what I’m doing. I feel that it’s an artist’s responsibility to trust that.
3 December 2020 Harry Connick, Jr. My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist, you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven’s mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person.
3 December 2020 Samuel Butler If I die prematurely I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.
3 December 2020 Henri Frederic Amiel Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd it must be communicated by contagion.
3 December 2020 Francis of Assisi Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.
3 December 2020 Alexander Smith The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.
3 December 2020 Scott Adams Obviously there’s not much options when you’re a cartoonist – you pretty much either work at home or rent an office I guess, and working at home just seems easier.
3 December 2020 John M. McHugh The study also included the disturbing revelation that most of the troops who reported having mental health problems also reported that they did not seek or did not receive care for their problems.
3 December 2020 Clive Owen You go back to those films of the ’40s and ’50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other – the wordplay. I think we’ve really lost that in movies.
3 December 2020 T-Pain My first car was an ’84 Ford Taurus. It caught on fire from me trying to change the fuel pump, so that wasn’t good at all. Dried leaves on the ground while I was trying to change the fuel pump. Don’t do that. Do it on concrete.
3 December 2020 Colin Mochrie Our top story tonight: Famous TV dolphin flipper was arrested today on prostitution ring charges. He allegedly was seen transporting two 16 year olds across state line for immoral porpoises.

3 December 2020 Frank Moore Colby I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.
3 December 2020 Geddy Lee I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.
3 December 2020 Beah Richards Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn’t help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people?
3 December 2020 Penelope Ann Miller I look to longevity. I just consider myself an actress and getting good roles. If being a ‘superstar’ gets me good roles, then that’s a positive thing. But my goal isn’t just to be a superstar. It’s to act for a long time.
3 December 2020 Alan Lakein Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.
3 December 2020 Simon Mainwaring The social business marketplace is effectively forcing brands to engage with consumers on the basis of something that is meaningful to them. More often than not, this takes the form of some core value that finds expression in a non-profit cause.
3 December 2020 Julia Roberts ‘Snow White’ is an old fairy tale, so obviously the idea of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today’s science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It’s bizarre.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein In a war everybody always knows all about Switzerland, in peace times it is just Switzerland but in war time it is the only country that everybody has confidence in, everybody.
3 December 2020 Frank Herbert One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
3 December 2020 Maya Angelou At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.
3 December 2020 Yitzhak Rabin Only the change on the international scene, the crisis in the gulf, and the strong, firm position of the United States against aggression between two Arab countries created realities that led to the Madrid Peace Conference.
