Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society. William Makepeace Thackeray Read Quote
My grandfather was born in Mexico. And when he was a young man, he crossed the Rio Grande. After that, he served in our military and became a U.S. citizen. He ended up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and that’s where my father was born. That was the beginning of my Mexican-American family, where they settled in Las Vegas in the early 1940s. Catherine Cortez-Masto Read Quote
Whenever possible, I use local, fresh ingredients, just because it tastes and feels better to eat an egg or a tomato or a hamburger that wasn’t flown halfway around the world, that didn’t travel on a truck and get stuck in traffic jams, that hasn’t been sitting in a supermarket’s refrigerator case for days. Kate Christensen Read Quote
I’m really enjoying the character now, but I don’t want to just be Philip Marlowe. I wouldn’t mind playing him every couple of years, perhaps, as a kind of open franchise – you know? Powers Boothe Read Quote
I genuinely don’t know how many albums I’m going to sell when the new album comes out, because I honestly don’t know how many fans I’ve actually got at the moment. Gary Numan Read Quote
Suppose you could be hooked up to a hypothetical ‘experience machine’ that, for the rest of your life, would stimulate your brain and give you any positive feelings you desire. Most people to whom I offer this imaginary choice refuse the machine. It is not just positive feelings we want: we want to be entitled to our positive feelings. Martin Seligman Read Quote
Part of the core information that I’ve been purveying is that identity politics is a sick game. You don’t play racial, ethnic, and gender identity games. The Left plays them on behalf of the oppressed, let’s say, and the Right tends to play them on behalf of nationalism and ethnic pride. I think they’re equally dangerous. Jordan Peterson Read Quote
I don’t think I’ve become arrogant. I’m pretty much the same person. I think the world has changed. I think I’m pretty consistent. Because you stick to what you believe does not make you arrogant. Raymond Kelly Read Quote
The plain truth is, ‘Fruitvale Station’ was made totally outside the Hollywood studio system, and every ounce of the picture feels authentic. The lives of the people involved in the movie will never be the same. John Singleton Read Quote
I’ve always had a little pooch. I just always have – that’s just my body type. No matter how skinny I’ve been, it’s always there. And now that I’ve had kids, I sort of don’t mind as much because, you know what? What my stomach and my body went through is truly a miracle. Kristin Cavallari Read Quote
