Peter CostelloWhen an actor comes to you and starts working with the script, the image of his character that you had in your mind gets substituted with an image of that particular actor.

It's very easy to understand: you need to absolutely believe in what you see.
Andrey ZvyagintsevSome dogs could play fetch all day long, while others have absolutely no interest in chasing a ball. Some might love "find the treat" type puzzle toys and others may completely ignore them. The important things are that your dog finds the toy interesting without becoming obsessed over it, and that it is size and safety appropriate for your dog.

Danny BonaduceUltimately, Leibniz argued, there are only two absolutely simple concepts, God and Nothingness. From these, all other concepts may be constructed, the world, and everything within it, arising from some primordial argument between the deity and nothing whatsoever. And then, by some inscrutable incandescent insight, Leibniz came to see that what is crucial in what he had written is the alternation between God and Nothingness. And for this, the numbers 0 and 1 suffice.

Mike InghamIf my life is any example, the work that youth workers are doing is very, very important.

Isabel WilkersonHe was resentful against all those in authority over him, and this, combined with a lazy indifference toward his work, exasperated every master in school. He grew discouraged and imagined himself a pariah; took to sulking in corners and reading after lights. With a dread of being alone he attached a few friends, but since they were not among the elite of the school, he used them simply as mirrors of himself, audiences before which he might do that posing absolutely essential to him. He was unbearably lonely, desperately unhappy.

We are killing, absolutely killing our energy business in this country.

To be kind - it covers everything, to my mind. If you're kind that's it.
