I don't kid myself in thinking that I'm on the front lines. I know the people who are on the front lines.

I've put feet on the ground for what I believe and what I'm against with no compromise. And there are people who are risking a whole hell of a lot more than me to make change, that's for damn sure.

Erich Maria RemarqueReally, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It's all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That's what it's about. Whatever you think you're going through, just put one foot in front of the next.

'I can't do either!' said Pooh, 'Oh help and bother!

Ralph Waldo EmersonThere's no worse feeling than being in front of a guy with six-pack abs, muscles popping out of his shoulders, veins popping out of his arms, and you know he's swinging for the fences, in front of all your friends and family, and you can't breathe.

Jon JonesMcLeod's Daughters was my first regular job out of drama school, and my first full-time role. That was great because I learned a lot, in terms of working in front of the camera.

It was a bit of a training ground for me, working in front of the camera and also dealing with media.

Cassandra ClareCinema and theater - it's apples and oranges. You can't really beat movies. Yeah, when you're on an Oliver Stone set everybody brings their A game. Everybody brings their A game, from the top to the bottom and in between.

What's to prevent the guy behind me from slamming my head into the porcelain wall in front of me?
Steve RushinI saw a news report recently that measured average video game use by American men between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five: twenty hours per week.

Can't we unplug already?

Because, thanks. Best Coke ever. Did you make it yourself? Special recipe?

You cannot allow yourself to go on track without being at 100 percent.
Valentino RossiWhen geologists announced the beginning of a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, humans destroying the environment, one of the main things they pointed to is the use of plastics in the earth. We don't think about it, but it has a tremendous effect. But these are things you don't see right in front of your eyes. You need to think about them a little, to see what the consequences are. It's easy to put them aside, and the media don't talk about them.

It was not until about a thousand years later in the world

Felicia DayJohnny Apple, a New York Times correspondent, wrote a front-page story saying Afghanistan could be a quagmire and he was mocked and derided. What is certainly true is that all sorts of resources that would have been used in Afghanistan were diverted to Iraq. Would those resources have helped? Almost undoubtedly. Whether or not Afghanistan would be a peaceful nation-state had we not gone into Iraq I doubt. Afghanistan is going to be Afghanistan, no matter how hard we try to make it something else.

Itโs about having the time and space to attend to whatโs right in front of us, even though many other forces are trying to keep us stuck in the past or inviting us to fantasize or worry about the future. Itโs about a natural quality each of us possesses, and which we can further develop in just a few minutes a day.
Tim RyanA British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots; a guard against the elements and strangers.

Tom StoppardAid workers, when handing out food to starving people, quickly learn that the people fighting for it at the front are the people who need it least. It's the people sitting quietly at the back, too weak to fight, who need it the most. And so too with tragedy.
