3 December 2020 Flannery O'Connor Everywhere I go, I’m asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don’t stifle enough of them. There’s many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
3 December 2020 Chuck Palahniuk If anything I try to write something that would be more difficult to film. I tend to see film as competition and would like instead to do what books do best.
3 December 2020 Stephen Sondheim All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That’s what makes theatre live. That’s why it persists.

3 December 2020 Orison Swett Marden The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.
3 December 2020 Aristotle It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.
3 December 2020 Robert E. Lee The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.
3 December 2020 Marilyn Monroe I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
3 December 2020 Ritchie Blackmore The only way you can get good, unless you’re a genius, is to copy. That’s the best thing. Just steal.

3 December 2020 Thomas Huxley Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
3 December 2020 Carnie Wilson My husband and I are best of friends first and foremost. We fight like cats and dogs, but never stay mad for long. I was lucky to find him, he is in every way, my soulmate.

3 December 2020 Donald Rumsfeld Your performance depends on your people. Select the best, train them and back them. When errors occur, give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong, help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House.
3 December 2020 Alexander Pope Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell aspiring to be angels men rebel.
