Bruce Grocott

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

John Hoeven

William Blake

What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold.

Tommy Lee Jones

We hear all around us to love ourselves, and one of the ways we can do that is to eat food that serves our body, but also for us to love the food we're eating.

Gabrielle Reece

I detest life-insurance agents: they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.

Stephen Leacock

Why do people do things that they fear? It may be that the fear contains information. Something can be interesting if you get to the other side of that fear.
