My background with Cummings was rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, but Tuesday liked to walk in and

do the scene. I must say that she was really wonderful. Aggravating, but wonderful.
Dwayne Hickman

The sublimated idealism of the Enlightenment, the spirit of the League of Nations and of the United Nations Charter have not proved strong enough to control the aggressive dynamism of nationalism.
Christopher Dawson

We have to be able to criticise what we love, to say what we have to say 'cause if your not trying to make something better, than as far as I can tell, you are just in the way.
Ani DiFranco

I try to be the best husband I can be, and if people respect that, that's cool. But there's no 'perfect husband.' We just all try to do the best we can, you know what I mean?
Nick Lachey

The advantage of doing one's praising for oneself is that one can lay it on so thick and exactly in the right places.
Samuel Butler

The dogs did bark, the children screamed, Up flew the windows all; And every soul bawled out, Well done! As loud as he could bawl.
William Cowper

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.
Joan of Arc

Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.
John F. Kennedy

Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.
Pancho Villa

I repeat that the distance between the earth and her satellite is a mere trifle,

and undeserving of serious consideration. I am convinced that before twenty years are over, one-half of our earth will have paid a visit to the moon. Jules Verne What I love about 'The Chew' is that we have these celebrities come on, and you get to see them in a different light, cooking or enjoying food, when we usually don't see them in that setting. So it's a lot of fun for their fans to see them be normal people and having that commonality of food. Carla Hall I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, 'Here comes another Bon Iver album!' I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out. Justin Vernon The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture. Alvar Aalto I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family. Renzo Piano ...

My brother was a great audience, and if he liked the picture, he would laugh

and laugh and laugh, and he would want to keep the picture. Making people laugh with an image I had created... what power that was! Lynn Johnston Mies van der Rohe's architecture and modern architecture in general suffered from not only being repetitive, but not explaining to the populous what the different rooms were for. Charles Jencks I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution. Paul Lynde At that time, we were in charge. We didn't ask. We just did. We just did what was in our heart. Ben E. King The care of a wise and good man for his only son is inferior to the regard of the great Parent of the universe for his creatures. John Woolman My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever. Lee Child My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come...

In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain

in Chile, filming a segment for 'Scientific American Frontiers.' Alan Alda But I feel truly wowed by the architecture and the meaning of the architecture if you get lost in it and think about the man hours in the smallest little chapel, and the love involved. God it's fantastic. Paul Bettany If only Coca-Cola had had the kind of message to accompany its addictive deliciousness that Fox News has, we'd all be speaking Cokelish today. Steven Weber I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first. Peter Ustinov I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off. Jack Paar Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind. Imre Lakatos My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro. Brandi Carlile Every em...

I saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their

daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious. Alanis Morissette You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices. Deepak Chopra Some people come to our shows and think they're gonna spend the night just listening to love songs, and they're pretty much surprised cause we do a lot of rock and roll. Bobby Hatfield Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. Douglas MacArthur It's good to have a title that's not just one word. If you're gonna title it, you might as well try and say something. Damien Hirst I think that one of the most fundamental responsibilities is to give testimony in a court of law, ...

I wanted to appeal to people who've never really listened to hip-hop or really given

it a chance before. I've also tried to incorporate all my favorite lifestyle things in the music. Of course, 'Fashion Killa' is one of peoples' favorites because it just expresses how much I like fashion. ASAP Rocky I've always been given respect because I'm kind of mannish, and I'm not a great beauty. I've never played the coquette card because I'm no good at it. Martha Wainwright Too many people hate the people that AIDS most affects: gay people and people of color. I do not mean dislike, or feel uncomfortable with. I mean hate. Downright hate. Down and dirty hate. Larry Kramer Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat. Marcus Tullius Cicero People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood. Zoe Saldana To go to war, you must always think of, can you win? John Dingell There is something so biologically i...

I read 'The Bell Jar' as an adolescent and, like most teenagers, had no

problem identifying with a young woman who had everything going for her - looks, talent, opportunity, with her 'whole life ahead of her,' yadda, yadda, yadda - yet was spiraling into misery. Lionel Shriver I always wanted to write a book. Not a romance novel. Maybe a crime thriller. Something with action. Maybe that will happen some day. Becky Sauerbrunn I began to study martial arts because it was a great form of exercise, and I knew it would help my acting career. Martial arts reminded me of dancing. It has helped me learn fight sequences quicker. Olga Fonda I told my team, 'I don't want to go out for Asian roles anymore.' Ross Butler The Wodehouse language is so rich and detailed and hilarious. John Lithgow The Corbynista brand of politics representing metropolitan, middle class, pro-open border values is far removed from millions of Labour voters, especially those who voted Leave in the referendum. Nigel Farage What comes into...

The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his

own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die. Pierre de Coubertin One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song. Manfred Mann When we describe what the other person is really like, I suppose we often picture what we want. We look through the prism of our need. Ellen Goodman After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts. Aristotle Onassis A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with. Robert Browning A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. Paul Cezanne Like Noel Brown and Scotty, they recorded as the Chosen Few, and I recorded as Dennis Brown then. Dennis Brown

The first record I bought myself could have been 'Oh Lonesome Me' by Don Gibson

or 'Wake Up Little Susie' by the Everly Brothers. John Oates People expect comedy from me but I am not just a stand-up comedian anymore. I act on stage, host 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and also conduct interviews on my show. I have grown as a person and an artiste. Kapil Sharma I think comics are really part of The Zeitgeist. They reflect back to us the issues that we're concerned about in the time they are written. G. Willow Wilson When I can see things through the lens of the director, it's like being able to see the whole puzzle - it's not just about my role, but the whole script. Justin Baldoni I never wanted to look back on my career and be embarrassed about work that I chose to do. I never wanted to look at character I've done and cringe. Malcolm-Jamal Warner I do have impossibly high standards. Kate Winslet Whatever is conventional, I am the opposite. So if you want to walk in a straight line, I am going to walk in zigzags. If you want...

I thought I'd have a career playing women in the vein of Ruth Gordon, and

we've seen that type almost disappear. Parker Posey I don't like it when a player says, 'I like freedom; I want to play for myself.' Because the player has to understand he is part of a team with 10 other players. If everyone wants to be a jazz musician, it will be chaos. They will not be a team, and nothing will be possible. Pep Guardiola I went from basically filming in my bedroom by myself, filming some funny videos, and then overnight, I switched into filming in some studios and some warehouses and family homes. I started filming with directors and producers and editors, and there were so many people in the room, so it was definitely weird. Kian Lawley 'Weekend Update' can be presented as a full 20-minute sketch, and there's a lot of room there. Chevy Chase Especially since having children, a lot of the time if you ask me, 'Have you read that book?' the answer would be 'not personally.' Claire Messud Oh, I'd never put m...

I am honored to have served as our great nation's first National Ambassador for Young

People's Literature. I will continue to serve as Ambassador Emeritus. And I will make good on my Ambassadorial promise to my wife to stop playing the 'Fanfare' every time I walk into or out of a room. Jon Scieszka No collection without compensation. Jeff Rich The worst is still ahead of us. But no one in Washington has the spine to tell you that. Glenn Beck I love any and all situations where you celebrate creativity. Brad Paisley At the time, we thought it was a nice way to say something unique about the group to make us different from all the other bands kicking around in London. Gerry Beckley The joy of the mind is the measure of its strength. Ninon de L'Enclos And then, when I left Princeton in the middle of my sophomore year, I went into the navy. Harry Mathews Cary and I are working together on another movie, Charlotte's Web. Thomas Haden Church The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which ar...
