Quote by Mark Twain

Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.

Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have a natural tendency to seek both love and envy from others. In order to be loved, people may engage in actions that are pleasing, kind, and caring in order to gain admiration and affection. Conversely, individuals may also pursue actions that elicit envy in others, driven by a desire to be seen as superior or more successful. Essentially, the quote reflects the ambitious and competitive nature of human beings, who are often motivated by the desire for both love and admiration.

They all matter to me, whether I'm working on a Sam Jackson film for a week or I'm the star of my own TV series - I take it all very seriously, and I have a healthy respect for the work in general, despite the role.

The New Women! I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself, their buttocks arrogant in tight jeans, openly inviting, breasts falling free and shameless and feeling no apparent obligation to smile, look pleasant or keep their voices low. And how they live! Just look at them to know how! If a man doesn't bring them to orgasm, they look for another who does. If by mistake they fall pregnant, they abort by vacuum aspiration. If they don't like the food, they push the plate away. If the job doesn't suit them, they hand in their notice. They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be; they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.

When I write stuff and I help cast it, I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one - there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody.

From now on, you forget about gravity before you go through

From now on, you forget about gravity before you go through that door. The old gravity is gone, erased. Understand me? Whatever your gravity is when you get to the door, remember -- the enemy's gate is down. Your feet are toward the enemy's gate. Up is toward your own gate. North is that way, south is that way, east is that way, west is -- what way?They pointed.https://www.mitza.net/lyrics/index.php?w=titleList&s=album&q=Ender%27s+Game
