History speaks pretty clearly that the markets do better with Democrats. Republicans' ideas of what

constitutes fiscal responsibility simply are not good for the stock market. Democrats have many tendencies, but one of them is to look after the workers, and actually that tends to be good for demand and good for markets. Jeremy Grantham

I always adored Cary Grant. I was fascinated by him. But I could never get too close to him. George Hamilton

Music is part of the life of fashion, too. Karl Lagerfeld

We breathed the air of freedom without knowing the language or any person. Nelly Sachs

My mother could do absolutely anything. She was like Martha Stewart before such a thing existed. Cheryl Ladd

In my 31 years in Congress, I have seen a lot of changes. We made some substantial policy changes that have improved our parks system and our public lands. Ralph Regula

As a GM Goodwrench Service Plus dealer, I understand how good service makes a difference to our customers. Dale Earnhardt

I imagine Heaven would have very nice weather - perfect climate where you can wear a leather jacket or shorts and a sweater. Hilary Rhoda

Short term memory is not good. Jim McMahon

Gemeoss

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 ...

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...

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...

I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the

series is growing up. In 'The Colour of Magic' most of the city is set alight. It's a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams's 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.' Terry Pratchett So much of what makes a room great is how you enter and circulate through it, how it addresses the body. Annabelle Selldorf The blind must not only be fed and housed and cared for; they must learn to make thir lives useful to the community. Julia Ward Howe I have a tremendous desire to learn, and to grow, and to develop whatever I have that will make for any kind of improvement in me. Lawrence Welk Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing. Adriana Lima As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it. Nuno Bettencourt I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big d...

In the lexicon of the political class, the word 'sacrifice' means that the citizens are

supposed to mail even more of their income to Washington so that the political class will not have to sacrifice the pleasure of spending it. George Will Whether or not we can save Lake Michigan, whether or not we can avoid a breakdown in our criminal justice system are more important than whether or not I'm going to be governor. Bill Scott You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas. Shirley Chisholm Show people tend to treat their finances like their dentistry. They assume the man handling it knows what he is doing. Dick Cavett If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals. Lou Holtz I feel that my whole life is a contribution. Pete Seeger Then the war became a real problem and along with other shortages, they started to have paper problems. Gil Kane

If I stumbled badly in doing the job, I think it would have made life

more difficult for women, and that was a great concern of mine and still is. Sandra Day O'Connor Barack wants to stop all children from working on the farm... Can you imagine this? I just, I can't fathom that. Did you ever think we'd grow up in America and see something like that? Let me take it one step further. He wants to disallow the 4-H from training children to work on a farm. John Raese People try to read a lot into what 'digital' means. It's just another platform. There are very attractive things that happen if you invest in content - movies, TV production, acquired series, specialty genres, digital distribution of our magazines, sports rights. Jeffrey Bewkes I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle. Ali ibn Abi Talib Museums are not normally presenting the works on the walls as provocations to work. It's more like going to a Jacuzzi. Hans Haacke Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes ...

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...

I injured myself quite badly when I was seventeen. I broke my ankle, and it

didn't heal in such a way that I could keep dancing at the level I wanted to. It wasn't like, 'Oh my god, I'll never play the violin again.' I could, but not at the level I wanted. So, I segued into acting, the other thing that was also meaningful to me. Kristin Lehman I'm really interested in writing a piece of music that will move you, that will really move you. That is really the only reason that I'm writing music. Leo Ornstein I think you miss out on a lot of stuff when you're so protected and isolated. Jennifer Aniston I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it. Lucinda Williams For some of us, the less said about the way we do things the better. Mark Strand If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me. W. H. Auden I grew up in east Tennessee, and everybody knew everybody's business. Kenny Chesney We must all learn a good lesson - how to live together. That is the new c...

I can't sit on my bum very long in a movie theater seat, and when

I'm directing, I always want to move the camera or edit. Tony Scott Scientific facts are often described in textbooks as if they just sort of exist, like nickels someone picked up on the street. But science at the cutting edge, conducted by sharp minds probing deep into nature, is not about self-evident facts. It is about mystery and not knowing. It is about taking huge risks. Richard Preston I always go in very emotionally when I'm doing music. Sad or happy, I'm always into it. I have a hard time writing for other people, writing with someone else in mind. Erik Hassle Sometimes I hear a voice - sometimes it's the voice of someone I know. And sometimes that leads to a character, which leads to a story. Sara Shepard Readers appreciate the truth. Why say, 'Some think a situation is a mess?' Based on my reporting, if a situation is a mess, then I say that. The truth is always what reporters tell each other when they get back to the newsroom. Kara Swish...

The calls that I have received from President Bush and Vice President

Cheney, the fact that there are other people that are suffering every bit as much as I am, and that our whole nation is going through a tragedy together, I think we have to think about those things. Ted Olson In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene. Steve Buscemi Thousands across America are glued to their web cast to hear this. And actually, I've never met one human being who said that they had seen one of those. Spencer Abraham When I left HEEP I didn't know what I wanted! It took me a long time to adjust to life away from the band and the only thing I knew was that I didn't want to repeat my mistakes! Ken Hensley I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later. Susan George Someti...
