Ron Suskindcontrary to what many believed, my father was kind and tenderhearted, especially towards his family. His forbidding sternness seemed to melt into love, kindness, and easy familiarity when he was with us. Especially with me, his acknowledged successor to the throne, he would play lightheartedly.

Now in these times, we have even closer parallels with those ancient, beautiful, affluent people living the good life on the verge of annihilation.
Eleanor AntinWhen I was thinking about these women characters, no matter how bad a person I am - a bad writer, my limitations, my sexism, you know - the thought was, it would be useful as a writer to try to create a template for all the male writers, especially Dominican male writers, especially males of color, of how a writer can use seeing to create more nuanced representations of women.
Junot DiazWe have to move the meter in sports in Africa, especially basketball. With the growth of the NBA globally, we have to figure out more ways to develop facilities, coaching, leagues, and youth development in Africa. The talent is incredible. Especially physically.

We now have an NBA office in Africa, we have legends and Hall of Famers, we have African assistant coaches, front office members, and some prominent African players over the last 10 years. So we must plan well for the next 10.

Heidi KlumThe success of a play, especially one's first success, is somewhat like pushing against a door which is suddenly opened that was always securely shut until then.

It made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more.

Spike LeeSometimes you want to go for a walk and you don't want to be watched. You just want to be anonymous and blend in. Especially when I travel, I feel that way, because I can't really go out and see a city the way other people can and I miss out on a lot.

John MiltonNo woman will ever satisfy me. I know that now, and I would never try to deny it. But this is actually okay, because I will never satisfy a woman, either.

Chuck KlostermanDeath comes to me again, a girl in a cotton slip, barefoot, giggling. Itโs not so terrible she tells me, not like you think, all darkness and silence.

I like it, she says, shaking the dust from her hair, especially when they fight, and when they sing.

[Blows are] the last remedy which a parent can use: a remedy which may doe good when nothing else can.
William GougeOur policy is simple: We are not going to betray our friends, reward the enemies of freedom, or permit fear and retreat to become American policies โ especially in this hemisphere. None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong.
Ronald ReaganEvery effective drug provokes in the human body a sort of disease of its own, and the stronger the drug, the more characteristic, and the more marked and more violent the disease.
