Alan Ladd was a marvelous person in his simplicity. In so many ways we were kindred spirits. We both were professionally conceived through Hollywood's search for box office and the types to insure the box office. And we were both little people. Alan wasn't as short as most people believe. It was true that in certain films Alan would climb a small platform or the girl worked in a slit trench. We had no such problems together.
Veronica LakeGirls of all kinds can be beautiful - from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned; the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between.

Tim FerrissEveryone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.

Hugh Magnus MacLeod of MacLeodThere is an unseen sweetness in the stomachโs emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .

There is this total person, already formed, themselves.
Glenda JacksonIf you create networks that allow people in their own local systems to have power and agency and sovereignty in their own systems. The idea that people could just know what's happening with their data.

Ramesh SrinivasanYou know, people call mystery novels or thrillers 'puzzles.' I never understood that, because when I buy a puzzle, I already know what it is. It's on the box.

Harlan CobenThe competitiveness, playing in front of 18-19,000 people every single night, people asking for my autograph, getting recognized, being able to do something like this with Sega and being on the front of a box, and being involved in video games, and listening to movies where they reference my name like in Swingers. All these things they make life so exciting, you don't know what to expect next.

Charles FrazierIn Arthurian battle the trick for us was to figure out how to give it the scale that the movie deserved and fitted in a financial box that was necessary.

Henri Cartier-BressonIt's a weird partnership. For me and Patrick, if you've met him, we're not very much alike. But we bring such different tools to the table. He doesn't think like me. I don't think like him. He thinks like an editor. He thinks like a director. He thinks completely outside of the box when it comes to writing and so because of that he leads me down roads that I would've never gone down. And he sucks at grammar. So together we're perfect.
Todd FarmerSometimes I had the feeling that all of us in his family were like pets to him. The dog you take for a walk, the cat you play with and that curls up in your lap, purring, to be stroked - you can be fond of them, you can even need them to a certain extent, and nonetheless the whole thing - buying pet food, cleaning up the cat box, and trips to the vet - is really too much. Your life is elsewhere.

Jonathan SwiftI look for a sense of reality with everything I did. I didn't work in a studio, I didn't light anything.

It was that little black box and me and ยฃ5 worth of film in my pocket or maybe it was only ยฃ2 in those days.

Tom MisonIn this country we're unprecedentedly safe, comfortable, and well fed, with more and better venues for stimulation.

All the great books of the past and all the ones yet to come are made with these words. With them there is no obstacle you cannot overcome. All you must learn to do is use them well and in the right places.

John MicaI used to think I was unstable, because I had this thirst for something. I could never figure out what it was. I couldnโt sleep at night, and I always wanted to be somewhere else. I have a window tattooed, this little box, and itโs because wherever I was, I wanted to be somewhere else. And, I always saw myself, wherever I was in life, staring out the window.
