Nobody will go on being remembered for a very long time, unless you're Shakespeare or

Milton. I have no hope of being remembered at all.
Ruth Rendell

The rule of law is the basis for any democracy. And without the rule of law in democracy, you have chaos.
Meles Zenawi

I think one reason, obviously, that I spend so much time in one place is that I've been lucky enough to travel a lot, and now there are other different, invisible trains that are more interesting to me.
Pico Iyer

I said: 'I'm throwing in my job, and I'm going to write a book.' Everyone thought: 'She's off her trolley,' and it was quite crazy, really. I'm just lucky that it came off.
Sara Sheridan

There's definitely more to me offline than what you see online. Because what I show online is what I want to show to my followers... If I showed everything I did offline, it might not align with some of my other followers around the world.
Michelle Phan

I am so in the past. I'm such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
Elton John

Influential people have a profound impact on everyone they encounter. Yet, they achieve this only because they exert so much influence inside, on themselves.
Travis Bradberry

No Ohio family should be forced to go hungry during the holidays or any time.
Sherrod Brown

Getting married is great, and I feel really good away from the court, and my private life and stuff is good. But you still need to train and work hard. Like, I didn't go on a honeymoon after we got married; I went to Barcelona and trained for 10 days to get ready for the clay-court season. It's been good, but you still have to put the work in.
Andy Murray

The Web meant that I didn't have to schlep a whole bunch of stuff to a museum and fight with all their constraints and make something that, in the end, only 150 people would actually get out to see. Instead, I could put something together in my lab and make it accessible to the world.
Ken Goldberg

There are women in every genre having a lot of success. Why not celebrate that?
Sarah McLachlan

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav...

It had to happen to me sometime: sooner or later, I would have to lose

sight of the cutting edge. That moment every technical person fears - the fall into knowledge exhaustion, obsolescence, techno-fuddy-duddyism - there was no reason to think I could escape it forever. Ellen Ullman Innovation and its allure can be dangerous. It can draw you away from the user, from the intended outcome, and may be the ultimate demise of otherwise great intentions. Mark Brand My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music. Charli XCX In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side, and most of the cars are standard, so I learned with a full-gear transmission with a clutch and hill starts. I've never driven an automatic until I came to Canada. Jodi Balfour Mexico has 44 treaties with other countries that make it very advantageous to do international shipping from Mexico rather than from the United States. Wilbur Ross Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of ...

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin...

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P...

I didn't have any aspirations of becoming famous or successful; in fact I was scared

to death of all that. I remember somebody once said that if a rock musician goes on tour, he goes insane. I was very impressionable and I carried this useless weight of fear around with me about going on tour, all because of this thing somebody said. Steve Vai In 1940 I came across a record by Jimmy Yancey. I can't say how important that record is. From then on, all I wanted to do was play the blues. Alexis Korner If the greatest god is the stillness all the motions add up to, then we must ineluctably be included. A. R. Ammons The effect of studying masterpieces is to make me admire and do otherwise. Gerard Manley Hopkins Being in the public eye, I have certainly gone through the tabloid situation where they come out with stories that are not true. I don't read or pay attention to it. Cheryl Tiegs If I wasn't a film-maker, I'd be a film critic. It's the only thing I'd be qualified to do. Quentin Tarantino New discoveries in science will continue to c...

I wish that I had known back then that a mastery of process would lead

to a product. Then I probably wouldn't have found it so frightening to write. Elizabeth George We feel that, with Sidney, we have a great opportunity over the next few years to put a great team on the ice. We're prepared to lose some money along the way. Eventually we're going to need some help. Mario Lemieux With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use. Bjarne Stroustrup The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past. Tim Berners-Lee I don't think of myself as a brand. Branding to me feels like a position or identity that's frozen in time. I'm more interested in transitions. David Rockwell I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing. Mike Weir Reagan won b...

I don't think the entire world respects women in sport. But if FIFA start respecting

the women's game more, others will follow. Alex Morgan I have been making hip-hop since I was a kid growing up in New York in the '80s and '90s. It's always been a hobby of mine - I've been making beats and writing songs for as long or longer than I've been acting. Dash Mihok I listen to some Hank Williams before I go out. I tell some jokes. I have fun. I don't waste too much energy thinking about it - I like to save that all for the ring. Dean Ambrose I've decided that I'm completely rock n' roll. Katherine Ryan Advertising is a nebulous beast at the best of times. Antony Johnston Why should we take options off the table in advance? Gillian Turner To me, fashion is ceaselessly fascinating because it is an expression of self. Anna Wintour More than any other poet, Whitman is what we make him; more than any other poet, his greatest value is in what he suggests and implies rather than in what he portrays, and more than any othe...

I think it's a luxury when you love the thing you're promoting, and then you

don't have to try to think of something, try and find some angle. Katherine Waterston I think 2020 can still be my time. Katarina Johnson-Thompson Sophie does more of the writing, lyrical stuff; I do more of the sitting at the computer and the board stuff. But it blurs. If we're both really feeling it, then we'll keep going with the song. Tucker Halpern It's funny: I don't listen to too much rap. I don't listen to too much older hip-hop. If I do, it's Ja Rule. Kehlani I'm on record that it didn't really traumatize me to do away with some people. Jim Mattis I was pretty naive about how hard it would be to get out from under the family name. Not that I'm complaining. Owen King Poor families are living above their means, in apartments they cannot afford. The thing is, those apartments are already at the bottom of the market. Matthew Desmond I am very bullish on India because of its people, its culture, and the leadership. I love...

I always take part in the creative process of every film of mine. Gone are

the days where an actor would walk into the sets, finish his portions, take the money, and leave. In fact, I've been accused of being interfering - but that's the way I am. It is important for every actor to get involved with the script. R. Madhavan Only be an artist if you have no choice! Marilyn Minter Some scenes are just more people's thing than others, and I know that my Gay New York is truly whatever I make of it. If I want her loud and lively, she's there. If I want sunsets and starlight, Battery Park, here I come. Gavin Creel I used to share my everyday life on the first social media platforms, and I had a pretty big following. Chiara Ferragni This will sound really funny, but I'm so used to shooting in Hindi that shooting in English took a while to get used to. Jacqueline Fernandez I think health care is a mess. I think that, as a free market person, you can't even have that discussion unless you know what the service costs. Rick Santell...

I want more images onscreen because when I was growing up, I think, like, that one kiss in

'The Color Purple' was the one thing that I had. Or 'The Watermelon Woman.' Dee Rees Films are my life; I don't think there is anything that I would not do for the sake of the movie. R. Madhavan Dubai makes perfect sense for Hyperloop One because this is the 21st century's global transport hub, and its leaders understand that Hyperloop One is ushering in the next era of transportation. Shervin Pishevar Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan harbor incredible promise for America once they forge an effective partnership. Pete Hoekstra I used to hyperventilate, but I don't do that anymore. Sharon Van Etten If we're winning, that's all that matters to me. If we're winning, I'll be happy. And that can help me grow. Kristaps Porzingis Christmas 1972 was a lonely time for Kissinger, as well as for his boss, and a period of serious reflection. Kissinger was then a bachelor, enamored of the tall, elegant, but elusive...
