Jigsaw Lady is the working title of a science fiction novel I've had in my

head for darn near 15 years. I think I'll start work on it next year (in all my spare time) but I'd like to get it finished some day.
Raymond E. Feist

The only way to save a rhinoceros is to save the environment in which it lives, because there's a mutual dependency between it and millions of other species of both animals and plants.
David Attenborough

Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants.
Vivien Leigh

Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work.
Ben Kingsley

We would love to have other children. It hasn't happened. We haven't been lucky enough.
Marg Helgenberger

Think I'll win. Could be big.
Bob Dole

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran

Priority is placed on the chastity of women. You can be corrupt, or a murderer

and still hold your head up high on the street without problems, whereas if there are any suspicions of your chastity and moral behaviour as a woman, you get lynched. Safak Pavey You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? Leonard Susskind I don't think Russia could start a war by attacking any of the NATO member states. Milos Zeman Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.' Olly Murs Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole. Charles M. Schwab May we treasure the divine...

Of-course we did, but we didn't reply because we knew once this leaks the others

will scatter, so in the few days we moved quickly before the press got hold of it. The press did get hold of it a few days later, we nabbed, we were able to get 15, the others got away. Lee Kuan Yew I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. John Hurt The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping. Benjamin Britten Bigotry murders religion to frighten fools with her ghost. Charles Caleb Colton I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money. Bob Hope Every silver lining has a cloud. Mary Kay Ash But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe. Ruth St. Denis

The great myth that many social scientists want to encourage is that there is an

incompatibility between modern technology and traditional religion. This is absolute nonsense. If anything, it's the reverse. Rodney Stark And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach. Travis Barker I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now, because they make things happen. Scott Brooks I don't like the 'must', the 'always', and the 'never' words. I don't like 'no' either. Viggo Mortensen When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything! Bryan Cranston I must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the French people to be proud of me, you know. Carla Bruni Yoga helps me be a stronger runner. I can lose ...

Nothing is more useless in developing a nation's economy than a gun, and nothing blocks

the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men. Hussein of Jordan I know what you're going to say! 'They are men, and men should be free.' A free man is dangerous to himself and everyone else. Freedom should be left to those who can put it to good use. Dave Sim I feel particularly close to them, because I am now out in the universe. I'm in a position to see nature from another point of view, to be outside the earth and see the big picture. Story Musgrave Later in my life, I'm going to look back and smile and be very fulfilled. I know that if I don't give it my all right now I'll regret it later. That's very important to me, because I've worked all my life to have this. Shania Twain It is always well to accept your own shortcomings with candor but to regard those of your friends with polite incredulity. Russell Lynes Remember only t...

In 1969, we decided we had to do certain things technically to

win, and we decided to do them then, even though we knew some of the personnel couldn't do it. In other words, instead of adapting the system to the players, we just installed our system. Then we set out to fill our team through the draft. Chuck Noll Al Sharpton is not important. He's nothing more than a black pawn in a very sophisticated white economic chess game. Byron Allen Art should not be bound by barriers or language. The Hindi film industry is a testament to that. We speak only Hindi, but we premiere in Germany and Japan. Our films do phenomenally well there. We transcend the barriers of language and culture. We welcome you in. I think that's what art should be, and I hope America reaches that place. Priyanka Chopra Main characters should grow and change during the course of a story. Leigh Michaels 'Sweetback' represented an economic tour de force because I had no partners; I own it. Melvin Van Peebles It's not natural to ou...

I like being able to go to the cinema and sit and spend time observing something without

thinking about plot or what one character is saying. I feel like I'm able to connect on a much more profound level. David Lowery State assaults on the separation of church and state are nothing new. Adam Cohen I have great people who help me be on time, but I'm not an on-time person, and I'm very chaotic in my thoughts. Trudie Styler I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me. Jeffrey Dean Morgan We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves. Shirley Chisholm The Church is not fully Church if it lacks dialogue. Blase J. Cupich The men and women of the American military have the courage to follow orders. They deserve a commander-in-chief with the courage to give them. Jason Kander Things for me really started to click right after my third year in the league. I sort of figured out that there were a few things that I needed to do if I want...

I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing

not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense. Leon Battista Alberti Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious. Peter Dinklage I've been playing since I was 5, but I wouldn't say that I'm serious about the piano. Kiernan Shipka People are needed to take up the challenge, strong people, who proclaim the truth, throw it in people's faces, and do what they can with their own two hands. Abbe Pierre The excitement right now is coming from the Liberty movement. And the Republicans want a piece of it. Gary Johnson I never realized I could love people as much as I do now. George Lopez When the students were killed at Kent State, the cast voted to do a demonstration from the stage, and I abstained. Holly Near If I make two f...

I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina

because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day. Michael Urie It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business. Christina Aguilera It wasn't that I got pinned against my locker, but I was intensely aware that the things I valued weren't shared by anyone. Girls didn't like me, and I had few friends. Josh Groban We must also win really sufficient and, above all, practical, guarantees for the freedom of the seas and for the further fulfilment of our economic and political tasks throughout the world. Bernhard von Bulow For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive. Suge Knight Now we are using the body scanner to s...

I founded Atari in my garage in Santa Clara while at Stanford. When I was

in school, I took a lot of business classes. I was really fascinated by economics. You end up having to be a marketeer, finance maven and a little bit of a technologist in order to get a business going. Nolan Bushnell A writer's ambition should be to trade a hundred contemporary readers for ten readers in ten years' time and for one reader in a hundred years' time. Arthur Koestler But so far as countries are concerned, I don't go to a place to see what's there, but who is there. David McCallum Politics at bottom is not all that complicated. It's all about timing. Mark McKinnon When I wrestled in College, my team was very good. William Baldwin Dating and getting attention from boys was something that came later to me. Rachelle Lefevre I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous. Ani DiFranco If I had parallel lives to pursue, I would also want one as a painter. Norman Spinrad As a kid, I certainly n...

I think that most people in the Middle East, at least 50%, believe in being sharia-compliant. If

you're sharia-compliant or want to impose sharia law, the United States is the wrong place for you. Steve Bannon The idea we would create some kind of religious test for entry into the country is absolutely wrong. Cory Gardner I've never really been a character on TV. I think, if possible, you want to portray yourself. If you're in a situation where you're supposed to react, you need to react. Daniel Bryan I learned my English from Keith Spurgeon. He had some small children, and I was young, too, and so we spoke the language together, and it was fantastic. Johan Cruyff The pooling operation used in convolutional neural networks is a big mistake, and the fact that it works so well is a disaster. Geoffrey Hinton If you heard 40 times in a day that Newt Gingrich takes the wings off of butterflies, eventually you'd believe it. Kellyanne Conway Once you start worrying, it's hard to stop. Alexandra Petri I always try to do something different and creative with my dr...
