Man is lost and is wandering in a jungle where real values have no meaning.

Real values can have meaning to man only when he steps on to the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions have no use. Sai Baba I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them. Joan Rivers When I played, I had a natural ability to jump and run, and I just wanted to get bigger and heavier. Brady Anderson Yeah, my parents help me keep my feet on the ground. Rupert Grint I have no skanky guys in my band nor on my bus. If they are they get the boot real quick. Lita Ford To identify the enemy is to free the mind. Mari Evans A lot of people thought I'd died, because of your coverage, they know I'm still around. Brenda Lee

I mean it's the most objective industry in the world. If your

numbers stink, you're out. If your numbers are good, you get more money. It's the most Darwinian, it's beautiful, it's brutal, it works. Jim Cramer A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means. Henry Hazlitt When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself. Confucius I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules? Emeril Lagasse The radical elements in Islam are very dangerous. Brent Scowcroft Ignorance is no excuse, it's the real thing. Irene Peter I adore life but I don't fear death. I just prefer to die as late as possible. Georges Simenon

I got a cable from New York saying that what I'd written about the growth

of Soviet agricultural production didn't make sense because the same levels were reached under the czars. I wanted to confirm it, but by then the censors were on to me. Harrison Salisbury I write sets of books, but I've also written a lot of orphans. Lynn Abbey We do not live to think, but, on the contrary, we think in order that we may succeed in surviving. Jose Ortega y Gasset My father is Swedish and my mother is French. Eva Green I probably belong to a type of composer of songs who keeps thinking about melody... I am old fashioned. Toru Takemitsu Through my optimism I naturally prefer and capture the beauty in life. Leni Riefenstahl Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. Oprah Winfrey

While America's infrastructure needs are substantial, there is no reason to delay completion of the

highway bill. Every day of delay means jobs lost, investment opportunities missed and growth sacrificed. John Engler The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. Hazrat Inayat Khan I think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it. Dave Chappelle Any fool can have bad luck; the art consists in knowing how to exploit it. Frank Wedekind Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward. Laura Schlessinger My mother says I was vaccinated with a phonograph needle. I love to talk. I just love to talk. Jerry Hunt The only very rugged part of the route is in crossing the Big Horn mountain, which is about 30 miles wide. William Henry Ashley

Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting

the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities. George Boole Expect more than others think possible. Howard Schultz It's a very special venue and a very special occasion. Matthew Hayden You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time. M. Scott Peck To be number one, you must train like you are number two. Maurice Greene For me, our beaches have always been a source of personal inspiration. Thomas Carper Older people shouldn't eat health food, they need all the preservatives they can get. Robert Orben

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. John Cleese During the crusades all were religious mad, and now all are mad for want of it. J. G. Stedman In common with many others in the varied branches of our profession, my academic education is subnormal. Loretta Young Continuity is one of the things I like about New England. Tracy Kidder I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience. Juice Newton That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer. Jacob Bronowski The bad guys are the best parts. Brion James

I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it.

What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy. Ursula K. Le Guin I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done. Carmelo Anthony Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'. Julius Caesar Yes, I was going to law school and it was closed in '69. Ruben Blades Interethnic and spiritual accord is our strategic resource, the basis for progress of our society and state. Nursultan Nazarbayev I think if I could have a boyfriend like my brothers I'd be really happy. But without the brother thing. Patricia Velasquez Musicians are always gigging and never have a chance to stop for a minute. Keith Jarrett

I believe our foreign assistance should be scrutinized, should be debated, and that we should

strike the right balance, but in all cases the foreign assistance that we provide around the world should be used to further our national security interests. John Sununu You use everything. You use tragedy you use everything. Shannon Hoon You know that saying, bad things don't happen to good people? That's a lie. Tori Amos Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it. Keith Jarrett I'm not fond of any of my films in an intimate way, but Gregory's Girl would be number 4 on my list. Bill Forsyth I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band. Amy Lee Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. Buddha

Still, I have been no one's enemy but my own. My easy nature, either in

drinking or anything else, was always ready to submit to persuasions of profligate companions, who often led me into snares. John Clare With the money I'm making, I should be playing two positions. Pete Rose Nothing is so contagious as example; and we never do any great good or evil which does not produce its like. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Seeing is not always believing. Martin Luther King, Jr. What region of the earth is not full of our calamities? Virgil The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something. Antoine de Saint-Exupery If they take their children to doctors, they believe they are putting their faith in man instead of in God. Bob Bartlett

Security is always going to be a cat and mouse game because there'll be people

out there that are hunting for the zero day award, you have people that don't have configuration management, don't have vulnerability management, don't have patch management. Kevin Mitnick The Giants are looking for a trade but I don't think Atlanta wants to depart with a quality player. Ron Fairly How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to? Tony Robbins No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days. Max Planck The world is like a grand staircase, some are going up and some are going down. Samuel Johnson You can cry, ain't no shame in it. Will Smith Nobody should try to play comedy unless they have a circus going on inside. Ernst Lubitsch

You can always make a film somehow. You can beg, borrow, steal the equipment, use

credit cards, use your friends' goodwill, wheedle your way into this or that situation. The real problem is, how do you get people to see it once it is made? Walter Murch Make the workmanship surpass the materials. Ovid What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly. Jonathan Swift He who overcomes himself is divine. Most see their ruin before their eyes; but they go on into it. Leopold Von Ranke The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end. Benjamin Disraeli But when I record my next studio album, of course I'll do the lead vocals. Lita Ford He made the impossible possible. Arsene Wenger

You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount

of people that you're going to reach but that's going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now. Chuck D Satire is focused bitterness. Leo Rosten You don't need a rope to pinch a stranger's butt. Phil McGraw Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously. Iris Murdoch What we need now is a Treaty of the World not a Treaty of Rome. Bernie Ecclestone I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can. Walter Johnson Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions. William Arthur Ward

What teens will realize is always a mystery to me. I'm still realizing so many

things myself, very belatedly, that it seems unwise to think I have any right to be showing people things in hopes that they'll realize them. Diane Duane Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. Mark Twain Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may be for us and it may not. Della Reese But Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns. John James Audubon The girls want to see the rips on your stomach - they like that. Usher As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to. Enid Bagnold I'm obsessed. I've always needed to know what's going on but now it's a must. Patricia Clarkson

It was one thing to contain the Soviet Union in Europe because Britain, France, and

Germany were all willing to join in. But will Japan and other Asian countries be willing to join in the containment of China? Samuel P. Huntington Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard. Anne Spencer He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius. William Gilmore Simms Memory is the thing you forget with. Alexander Chase Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this - no dog exchanges bones with another. Adam Smith I have never been over fond of scenes anywhere. Chris Bailey Moon is also a naive native girl when she sets out for Carbuncle. Joan D. Vinge

The natural response of the old-timers is to build a strong moral wall against the

outside. This is where the world starts to be painted in black and white, saints inside, and sinners outside the wall. Mary Douglas Stiletto, I look at it more as an attitude as opposed to a high-heeled shoe. Lita Ford I came to the conclusion that I am not a fiction writer. Tim LaHaye Education of both men and women is a wonderful contraceptive. Henry W. Kendall It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man. John Lennon Rather than hearing from the city council president, you'd hear from sources all across the country. Jack Kelley No one knows what he can do until he tries. Publilius Syrus

It's a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception

and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home. Major Owens And that is my definition of democracy, the right to be in a minority and not be suppressed. Lee Harvey Oswald Either I will find a way, or I will make one. Philip Sidney Communism is the corruption of a dream of justice. Adlai E. Stevenson I think the National League has better biorhythms in July. Earl Weaver And in which we say that life is eternal but continue to struggle to survive. Neale Donald Walsch I wasn't like most girls. Laurell K. Hamilton

I went to Second City, where you learned to make the other actor look good

so you looked good and National Lampoon, where you had to create everything out of nothing, and SNL, where you couldn't make any mistakes, and you learned what collaboration was. Bill Murray You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - people are people. Judith Light God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us. Niccolo Machiavelli I'd rather spend my leisure time doing what some people call my work and I call my fun. Jared Diamond Yes, there are directors I admire, the mavericks. Altman. There are many good directors. Mark Rydell You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable. Fred Rogers No, we have our ups and downs, but we're all very up at the moment. John Deacon

The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their

field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women. Emily Carr There's so much crap talked about acting. Ben Kingsley I have always supported measures and principles and not men. Davy Crockett We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely.

James Anthony Froude I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience. Charles Edison

Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors.

Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds. John Henrik Clarke I'd always maintained an image so that people wouldn't approach me. John Lurie Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. Peter Drucker We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent. Barack Obama According to the new ethics, virtue is not restrictive but expansive, a sentiment and even an intoxication. Irving Babbitt In France, I learned about wine and cheese. Walter Wager Being thrown out of this place is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony. Blake Edwards

The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People

reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves. Leon Trotsky You can never spend enough time with children. Dwayne Hickman For every quarrel a man and wife have before others, they have a hundred when alone. E. W.

Those who have heard or read anything from me on the subject, know that one

of the principal points insisted on is, the forming of societies or any other artificial combinations IS the first, greatest, and most fatal mistake ever committed by legislators and by reformers. Josiah Warren Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together. James Cash Penney Don't know about a cabaret act right now, would actually prefer a role in a broadway musical. Julia Barr Home is any four walls that enclose the right person. Helen Rowland Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Tre Cool Wherever you are - be all there. Jim Elliot

Our society has changed in unforeseeable ways since Social Security was created. For example, we

are living longer, healthier, and more productive lives and while this is all great news, this has also placed added pressure on America's retirement system. Norm Coleman Yesterday I staked off the ground on the hill for an orchard. I want to get 1,000 apple trees agrowing. Ezra Cornell Slavery has never been abolished from America's way of thinking. Nina Simone Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent. Aung San Suu Kyi God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us. Mahatma Gandhi I've worked with a lot of great directors. Catherine Keener But the myth of violent solutions as the ultimate solutions maintains itself in much of popular media. Stanley Crouch

I was born in Europe... and I've traveled all over the world. I can tell

you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America. Arnold Schwarzenegger Even the largest avalanche is triggered by small things. Vernor Vinge Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone. Richard Linklater The art of being a slave is to rule one's master. Diogenes Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. H. L. Mencken The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads. Beyonce Knowles Maybe humans are just the pet alligators that God flushed down the toilet. Chuck Palahniuk

Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they

were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I'd give it my best shot. Roger Corman He is loyal to his own career but only incidentally to anything or anyone else. Hugh Dalton Singing is an arduous business and it needs sacrifices. Lesley Garrett The thing is, at the end of the day you still have to face yourself. Dave Pelzer There's a black man inside of me just trying to make bail. Brad Garrett They realize that spending millions to save billions is just good business. Jack Abramoff Learn to take responsibility for emotions, and to manage energies, always working within present resources. Lillian Russell

We have 1.8 million Americans behind bars today at Local, State and Federal level. In

the federal system, which has doubled in the last ten years, over 110,000 people behind bars in the Federal system, probably two-thirds are there for drug related reason.

Nielsen Studying is something I really love doing, and I just hope to have enough money for tuition. Alexandra Kosteniuk

Really, the potential for, first of all, any college graduate today is enormously good. These

are good times for anyone with a college degree today, particularly African Americans. With a college degree today, you really breach the unemployment rate. Alexis Herman Never claim as a right what you can ask as a favor. John Churton Collins He was not only a bore; he bored for England. Malcolm Muggeridge I'm the flavor of the month. George Clooney You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. Clarence Darrow People are very interested in politics, they just don't like it labelled politics. Douglas Hurd Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority. Edward Young

Acting is very much like a child making believe. I'm not one to become a

character, but I fall in love with the character. It's like having faith; you're going to be that person for a while. Lusia Strus Observation is an old man's memory. Jonathan Swift Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve. Wangari Maathai If I don't practice the way I should, then I won't play the way that I know I can. Ivan Lendl Time ripens all things; no man is born wise. Miguel de Cervantes 'Star Wars' hasn't changed my life at all. Natalie Portman I don't think I've ever laid out a batch of songs that pick myself apart the way that these do. Richard Marx

The funny thing is all these school shootings that we have, always happen in very

religious communities. Maybe it's because the centre of their lives is a big fat nothing and it's just a fantasy and there's nothing there. I think maybe that might have something to do with it. Matthew Bright As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. Solomon Ibn Gabirol The concert is a polite form of self induced torture. Henry Miller I know that I am going to die, and I'm ready to do so. Ruth Ellis Lawyers are the first refuge of the incompetent.

To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as

a table is not the work of a painter, but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter's imagination. Frank Auerbach I'm going to speak my mind because I have nothing to lose. S. I. Hayakawa When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. Friedrich Nietzsche You have to remember we're just performers, that we seldom have any kind of grasp on real life.

Friedrich Schiller Even were sleep is concerned, too much is a bad thing. Homer

Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful

you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly. Philip Seymour Hoffman England is a nation of shopkeepers. Napoleon Bonaparte Winning in my business is everything. Al Unser If two men agree on everything, you may be sure that one of them is doing the thinking. Lyndon B. Johnson It is up to us to produce better-quality movies. Lloyd Kaufman We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

Gemeoss

The only advice I would give Christians entering the world of arts: give yourself a

period of time, maybe three or four years. If you haven't made it in your chosen art form, dump it. Cliff Richard If most American cities are about the consumption of culture, Los Angeles and New York are about the production of culture - not only national culture but global culture. Barbara Kruger When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring. Kathy Valentine I hate the idea of getting in a building that someone else has designed and having to do something to it yourself to sort of dress it up - it's like using presets in your tracks. Sean Booth The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone, but never hustled. Henry Adams Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. Peter Drucker E...

There's this wonderful first assistant and he'll be saying, 'Now Harry goes down among the

dragons.' You have to hold yourself together. Because if you lose it for a second then you're sunk. Maggie Smith We believe we've got the skill base and the techniques to supply the chips that really enable the end manufacturers to develop exciting, innovative products themselves. David Milne Oscar Wilde said the rich and the poor are equal - they can both sleep under the bridge. Right? Do they have a right? You're damn right they have a right! Al Lewis If we'd have said we were not upset, they would have thought we were so rich it meant nothing to us, and if we say we're upset about it, they'll say money is all we care about. John Bonham We... are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant. Charley Reese Our universities and museums are respected around the country. Jane Byrne George W. Bush bought the election - period. End of story. There is no argument. Yo...

I was fortunate to have had a lively, happy childhood, but somewhere along the way

I convinced myself I wasn't wanted anywhere or by anyone if I wasn't thin. Lucy Davis WWE asked me to be in the Hall of Fame, and I turned it down. You know why? They put Pete Rose in the wrestling Hall of Fame. This guy can't even get into his own Hall of Fame. Mr. T Credit markets were originally created to serve human needs; to provide businesses and individuals with capital to start or expand businesses or fulfill other financial needs. Muhammad Yunus I'm not somebody who likes to show off my cleavage, and I don't dress up for the papers. Louise Nurding The reviewers tear me apart. I bleed. I'm a favorite target. They go along for six months looking at movies, praying for rain, and then a new Sandra Dee movie comes out, and their eyes open, and they lick their lips. Before they've ever seen it. Sandra Dee I personally do not find puke funny. I find it disgusting. Lucy Punch I don't live a lie. You have to understand that people who ...

It's a different thing playing in a smaller venue where you can actually see people's

faces and reactions. It's so much more intimate. You walk away with a more personal experience. Jann Klose I love the theater. I love being on stage; I love the live audience. I also love dressing up and all of the make-believe. Nicole Ari Parker This is sort of not expected, but I would love to produce a record for Missy Elliott. It would be totally different, but she makes party music. 'Lose Control' was my favorite song when I was in 5th or 6th grade. Ansel Elgort I sculpted for four or five years. Mostly for my own amusement, I decided to do a picture book, and that was kind of a turning point. Chris Van Allsburg Circumstances in life often take us places that we never intended to go. We visit some places of beauty, others of pain and desolation. Kristin Armstrong I like John McCain. He can always be counted on for a good quote. Ted Cruz Practices such as arranged marriages and restrictions on girls attending school have deep roots, and changing them i...

I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can

use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part. Marisa Tomei It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well. Henri Frederic Amiel It's against type in the sense of my background, but it's with type in the sense that I am a loner who's new to this business and sceptical about a lot of it. Ben McKenzie I was born in 1923 into a middle class Jewish family in Vienna, a few years after the end of World War I, which was disastrous from the Austrian point of view. Walter Kohn To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell. Marquis de Sade As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay. Sallust There is...

The Devil in the White City' - the 'White City' was the nickname for the World's

 Fair of 1893, the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Erik Larson One of my biggest drawbacks is my inability to maintain my physique. I put on weight for 'Soodhu Kavvum' and never managed to shed it. Luckily, that look suited a few films, including 'Orange Mittai.' Vijay Sethupathi We live in this era where we really enjoy being offended, although only on the Internet. I don't know how beneficial it is. I wonder if we live in an age where we don't have power, yet somehow feel we have virtual power. But I feel like it's a distraction from real life. Michaela Coel Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. Susan B. Anthony Men lie all the time. Sam Shepard As a global media company, A+E Networks continually seeks to create new and exciting content that will attract audiences today, tomorrow, and beyond. By investing in Vice, we are thrilled about our potential to further deliver content that ...

The relatively unpredictable flow of funds to humanitarian organizations, and the

  bureaucratic strings often attached to them, can have a highly negative impact on an organization's ability to plan and execute programmes effectively. We need to be able to rely on predictable income flows to plan sustainable programmes. Peter Maurer Books and movies are kind of my two great loves. I don't have too many other actual hobbies. That's pretty much it. Gillian Flynn I have this rule. It's called 'Top Dog-Underdog:' Underdog gets to make fun of Top Dog, but Top Dog can't make fun of Underdog. But you know what? You get Top Dog, you get to be Top Dog. Congratulations! And that dynamic happens not just in race but in many different ways. It's like the male-female dynamic. Larry Wilmore Had there not been these safety valves of political parties and elections, we may very well have had no way to change except forceful overthrow of government. Terry Sanford Pakistan's key leaders have succumbed to the assassin's bullet or bomb or the ha...

People who look at Apple's success and think we look at it as, 'Okay, great, we're done,'

  don't appreciate what's really going on here. Craig Federighi Instead of trying to be 'radical,' I just try to be true to myself! Is it radical to be true to yourself? Maybe it is. I don't know, but it just makes sense to me, haha! Chelsea Manning Asking the director of 'The Lord of the Rings' to read my novel was exactly as terrifying as you'd think. I came this close to not doing it because I was so embarrassed. But he was so gracious about it. Jeff Giles There is no risk-free path for monetary policy. Jerome Powell I liked 'Star Wars' as a kid. I liked science fiction. Forest Whitaker What if the Big Three automakers made products that were simple and easy to use - imagine a car with a user interface made by Apple - while also constantly trying to push the state of the art? What if they constantly sought out new technologies and ideas, and incorporated them into their products? Daniel Lyons I was so famous that I couldn't leave the hotel...

We created Addepar because we saw a place where a multi-billion dollar global platform

  clearly should exist - but did not yet - to fix many of the challenges that exist in the finance industry. Joe Lonsdale I've very aware of my rootlessness. Hisham Matar Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. Michael Pollan Lev Nussimbaum was born in October 1905, the moment when the tolerant, haute capitaliste culture of Baku began to fall apart. Tom Reiss I remember doing my first school play. We were doing 'Oliver Twist,' and I was cast as Oliver. It was the first time I ever felt brave and confident and truly happy about something. Kaya Scodelario I'd love to see lower spending levels, and in absence of lower spending levels, I'd love to see us reallocate where some of that spending is and really address the entitlements that continue growing. Jeff Duncan You can look different but have the same values. That's not diversity; it's conformity. Tucker Carlson I don't think anybody in the entertainment industry or in politics is surprised...

You find a lot of junk when you're searching through lost and tossed photo ephemera,

but every so often you'll find a gem, a wallet-sized masterpiece you're certain could hang on the wall of a gallery if only someone with a name had taken it. Find one or two of those and you're hooked for life. Ransom Riggs There is something magical in seeing what you can do, what texture and tone and colour you can produce merely with a pen point and a bottle of ink. Ida Rentoul Outhwaite I usually set aside a lot of time in advance of a movie with important roles for kids to search, but when you have great ones, they can be a real ace in the hole. Wes Anderson There aren't a lot of ironclad rules of family life, but here's one: No matter how much your parents deny it - and here's betting they deny it a lot - they have a favorite child. And if you're a parent, so do you. Jeffrey Kluger More recently, as faith gave way to materialism, anti-Semitism assumed a secular mode, harnessing itself to the dominant ideologies of both the Left and the Righ...
