Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks. ~Samuel P. Huntington

To break boundaries interests me. With all the knowledge that is available now in the world, it should be accessible to everyone. You can get so much information on the Internet now, and yet there are so many places in the world where people just don't have the education. ~Melanie Griffith

Sometimes the personality or just the particular process of a director can really affect your quality of life as a composer in terms of how much time you spend away from your family or the amount of time you spend doing the type of work that you maybe don't consider as fun to do as other type of work. ~Christophe Beck
#quotes #christophe-beck #music

Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other in practice as large teeming flaw colonies, the result of being that they get on each other's nerves and regularly erupt into vicious emotional shouting matches over such issues as toaster settings. ~Dave Barry

Working 14 hours a day until you're 55 and missing your kids growing up is not what I would consider a recipe for happiness. ~Robert Harris

I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing; my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes. ~Gary Kemp

The scheme of a game is played on positional lines; the decision of it, as a rule, is effected by combinations. ~Richard Reti
#quotes #richard-reti #games

I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth; at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation. ~Eileen Claussen

A human heart that matched what we think of as heart-shaped; a perfectly formed bright red thing with two halves of equal size; would be one that was horribly diseased. The origin of this stylized representation is somewhat obscure, but it probably appeared at the same time as St. Valentine's Day, about whose history there is much dispute. ~George Fetherling

In his eyes shone the reflection of the most beautiful planet in the Universe; a planet that is not too hot and not too cold; that has liquid water on the surface and where the gravity is just right for human beings and the atmosphere is perfect for them to breathe; where there are mountains and deserts and oceans and islands and forests and trees and birds and plants and animals and insects and people; lots and lots of people. Where there is life. Some of it, possibly, intelligent. ~Stephen Hawking

These days I seem to think about the things I forgot to do for you and all the times I had a chance to. ~Jackson Browne

Ideas for gadgets for the disabled were coming into my head so fast they seemed to be arriving from somewhere outside of me, beamed down by an unremitting force. I had little control over them, or their flow. I would wake up in the middle of the night. A blinding flash of an idea would rouse me from my bed and I'd rush down to my workshop to have a go at it before the inspiration dimmed. ~Trevor Baylis
