It’s sad that the BBC is toning down Dennis the Menace for a cartoon series. He is losing his weapons, catapult and peashooter, will no longer pick on Walter the Softy, and his ferocious grimace is to be replaced by a charming, boyish smile. Simon Hoggart Read Quote
Not even a maggot is an it, and to refer to any animal in that manner is an affectation, an ignorant stab at science-speak. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas Read Quote
Although I come from a political family, I consider myself a slightly atypical politician. Kyriakos Mitsotakis Read Quote
I don’t think kids have a problem reading books meant for adults; the problem is on the other side of the fence, a misconception of what one kind of literature is ‘supposed’ to be, perceived to be, as opposed to another: if it’s for kids, it can’t be any good; it’s got to have been dumbed down and/or sweetened up. Kathe Koja Read Quote
I didn’t know the organization, but the one thing you can say about the FBI, it’s tremendously professional. Robert Mueller Read Quote
It is good to see women doctors and lawyers and executives. I can visualize a woman president. If I were British, I would have supported Margaret Thatcher. But no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat. Jim Webb Read Quote
I can never kind of fathom a character’s journey beyond the moment when you go to black, any more than when people ask me what Jason Patric did with the tape recorder at the end of ‘Narc,’ you know what I mean? Even in ‘Blood, Guts,’ like, what happens down the road with these characters? Joe Carnahan Read Quote
Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that’s the story that we’re not seeing, and it’s unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock. Mike Huckabee Read Quote
A film like ‘Shirdi Sai’ caters to the family audiences, while ‘Rajanna’ evokes patriotic sense in viewers. ‘Damarukam,’ on the other hand, is a full-length commercial film made for the masses. Akkineni Nagarjuna Read Quote
