My first dunk was actually in sixth grade.
Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.
John Green
What could be more lonely than to be enveloped in silence, to be the last of your people to speak your native tongue, to have no way to pass on the wisdom of the elders, to anticipate the promise of the children. This tragic fate is indeed the plight of someone somewhere roughly every two weeks.
Wade Davis
I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean.
Julie Walters
Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits; That common chances common men could bear; That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.
George Orwell
Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul man cannot live in health without them.
Mahalia Jackson
I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.
Christina Applegate
About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.
Manolo Blahnik
No doubt another may also think for me; but it is not therefore desirable that he should do so to the exclusion of my thinking for myself
Henry David Thoreau
Vulgarity begins when imagination succumbs to the explicit.
Doris Day
One must have a heart of stone to read the death of little Nell without laughing.
Oscar Wilde
In every living thing there is the desire for love.
David Herbert Lawrence
Insofar as he makes use of his healthy senses, man himself is the best and most exact scientific instrument possible. The greatest misfortune of modern physics is that its experiments have been set apart from man, as it were, physics refuses to recognize nature in anything not shown by artificial instruments, and even uses this as a measure of its accomplishments.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I like funny guys and those, for some reason, tend to be nerdy guys.
Megan Fox
Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.
Mike Pence
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
I don't think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn't at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
Jimmy Carter
The 2012 London Olympic Games fostered a generation of hope. I witnessed women participating for the very first time, representing every nation.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee
The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.
John Buchan
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
In an era ruled by materialism and unstable geopolitics, art must be restored to the center of public education.
Camille Paglia
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter's evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream... I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people's tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting.
Mark Twain
I would like to be as fit as I've always been. I've been blessed with good health, I've been blessed with stamina. Particularly for those great classical roles, you need an Olympian stamina. I, fortunately, have that.
Derek Jacobi
The higher a man stands on the social ladder, the greater the number of people he is connected with, the more power he has over other people, the more obvious is the predestination and inevitability of his every action.
Leo Tolstoy
A man vows, and yet will not east away the means of breaking his vow. Is it that he distinctly means to break it? Not at all; but the desires which tend to break it are at work in him dimly, and make their way into his imagination, and relax his muscles in the very moments when he is telling himself over again the reasons for his vow.
George Eliot
The great increase of our population throughout the Union will alone produce an important effect, and in no quarter will it be so sensibly felt as in those in contemplation.
James Monroe
Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.
Paulo Coelho
The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.
Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.
In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted.
Mario Batali
This is unbearable ... God. These books she'll never read. Her Life's Library.
We possess only the happiness we are able to understand.
Maurice Maeterlinck
A fascinating challenge facing today's environmental movement is how to best approach the reversal of past decisions that altered once-pristine environmental spaces for the sake of urgent man-made needs.
Matt Gonzalez
Rita looked as though she would have liked nothing better than to seize the paper umbrella sticking out of Hermione's drink and thrust it up her nose.
J.K. Rowling
Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
Benjamin Franklin
It was quite a European war until 1917, when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.
Tom Hiddleston
What people still do not like to admit is that there were two crimes in the form of one. Just as the destruction of Jewry was the necessary condition for the rise and expansion of Nazism, so . I first noticed this point when reading an essay by the late Ernest Gellner, who at the end of the war had warned Eastern Europeans that collective punishment of Germans would put them under Stalin's tutelage indefinitely. They would always feel the guilty need for an ally against potential German revenge.
Christopher Hitchens
We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.
Anna Freud
I don't think rap really fits in to 'American Idol' in the sense that I believe rap is an art form in itself more akin to poetry, more akin to drama, if you will.
