Brian HoustonIt's just a blessing. Artists search and search for songs that will connect for a new artist because the familiarity is so low. People don't know what you look like.

Terry ZwigoffIt's both a blessing and a curse. It's great having that goal and never settling, but at the same time I am rarely satisfied with things.

Look at all these things - I won a EMA last week.

I can smile with pity at the infidel whose vanity makes him dream that I should barter such a blessing for the few subtleties from the school of the cold-blooded sophists.

Brian HensonIn the last analysis, home happiness depends on the wife. Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. Her hands fashion its beauty. Her heart makes its love.

J.R. MillerTo be associated with a film that just flat-out makes people happy is such a blessing and a tremendous privilege, and I'll always be grateful for it.

Sara BlakelyThat I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing. Could I have remembered, as some men do, what I read, I should have been able to call myself an educated man.

I am inclined to think that it is so with most readers.

Boris KarloffThe history of humanity is not a hotel where someone can rent a room whenever it suits him; nor is it a vehicle which we board or get out of at random. Our past will be for us a burden beneath which we can only collapse for as long as we refuse to understand the present and fight for a better future. Only then โ but from that moment on โ will the burden become a blessing, that is, a weapon in the battle for freedom.

Liza WeilIt makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action.

Jim Elliot
