If you are figuratively jumping for joy, it means you are so happy that you could jump for joy, but are saving your energy for other matters.

Michael EmersonWhen success happens to an English writer, he acquires a new typewriter. When success happens to an American writer, he acquires a new life.
Martin AmisWhat frightens me about America today is that in the large majority there is no active sense of the value of the individual: few citizens feel that they are the Republic, responsible for what happens. And when the individual in a democracy ceases to feel his importance, then there is grave danger that he will give over his freedom, if not to a Fascist State, then to the advertising men or Publicity Agents or to the newspaper he happens to read.
May SartonFootball leads to a crime rate among people that play in the NFL that is less than the gen pop, the general population. The numbers have been run. It's just that people who play football are stars and, as such, what they do occurs with greater media scrutiny.

Anthony HorowitzWhy do you keep reading a book? Usually to find out what happens. Why do you give up and stop reading it? There may be lots of reasons. But often the answer is you don't care what happens. So what makes the difference between caring and not caring? The author's cruelty. And the reader's sympathy...it takes a mean author to write a good story.
Gail Carson LevineThe reality is the most important thing that can be done are these permanent changes like to the tax code, reduction of government spending. These are the things that pop up in economy and move it in the right direction, start to make it an economy that is moving because of the money in the private economy.

The same thing happens when you reduce the tax except if happens from physical policy.

Ariana GrandeA lot of people will say to me, they'll say, "When is Trump going to be gone?" People who are thinking that way and are waiting, for those folks I worry that every day when they wake up and Trump is still president, every day is November 9. That's not a good headspace to be in.

What you give, you will receive, although it might sometimes come from the place you least expect.

It just doesn't happen that way. Some people evolve at 24, some people are 60 and are still evolving. So why are we stopping these great connections based on age, or race or colour or whatever, gender, whatever? You meet who you meet and you connect because of your life experience.
Sandra BullockWe can assume that most people, most of the time, are moral creatures. But imagine that this morality is like a gearshift that at times gets pushed into neutral.

It is then the nature of the circumstances that determines outcomes, not the driver's skills or intentions.
Philip ZimbardoFamily quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others.

She could tell you--" "No," Clary said. "It was a metaphor. And you know exactly what I mean.
