Reactions to the White Paper 1939

All of my friends are my age and we are all ageing at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn't bother me.

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.

Glamour looks eloquent but seldom talks.

Women fancy admiration means more than it does.

As chefs, we work with organizations like Oxfam to enrich their projects with culinary tools, recipes and ideas.

Everybody can, you know, go online, read about something, and have an opinion about something.

Usually, a number of events will be going on around me to start me on a book. What I mean is, I will have read a poem or seen a picture that is lingering in my mind.

I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremities as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn't fully appreciate. But I'm now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies.

The body and the soul join in doing the work of the soul ie. praying meditating praising and coming in communion with God.

I love 'Cheers.' I didn't watch it growing up, but I watched it getting ready to do the first season of 'New Girl.' It bowls me over every time I see it. The romance, the comedy, the performances - every bit of it is just so compelling.

My career is my girlfriend.

But it is a delightful challenge to try to depict interesting aliens.

And I'm also looking for a comeback record and it has to touch a lot of people.

'Dragon Age' needs to have big story moments. It is a game about character first, and the party is an absolutely central part of that. I want to keep pursuing interactivity with the world: taking crowds to the next level or having things catch fire because you indiscriminately cast a fireball into a wheat field.

New Year's resolutions often fail because toxic emotions and experiences from our past can sabotage us or keep us stuck with the same old thoughts, patterns and regrets.

Everything on my body turned real dark. My toes, under my feet, inside my mouth, under my tongue - I just turned really dark. I'm still here, but it's gonna take a while to get back to normal. Chemo kills all the good cells along with the bad.

I envy the people who say, 'oh, well, I've got my name in the golden book and I'm going to be entered into the pearly gates.'

I have to remind the people who put down East Coast surfing that Kelly Slater is from Florida.

The day is past when schools could afford to give sufficient time and attention to the teaching of the ancient languages to enable the student to get that enjoyment out of classical literature that made the lives of our grandfathers so rich.

I'm not a 'messiah' coming to change Washington. I don't come with a political background, so I think it's part of my responsibility to raise my hand and say 'Why?' Folks don't just want smaller government; they want an efficient small government.

I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money.

Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.

One of the best things about my job is that I get to meet a lot of great children's and YA authors at events all over the country. So I figured it might be fun to interview some of them and turn the interviews into short online comics.
