If we are going to stay a great power and I hope and pray we will we need the truth. We need to know what is going right and we need to know what is going wrong. There is no greater time than now. – Chuck Schumer
Nobody has done more for me than my parents, who devoted untold amounts of time and money that allowed me to play the game I love. It’s no exaggeration to say I never would have gotten anywhere near a World Cup, an Olympics, or even the U.S. national team without them. I have never forgotten that, and I never will. – Carli Lloyd
We’ve all fallen, but at the same time we’re not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again. – Amy Lee

We’re all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don’t spend any time, or think they don’t, on preparing themselves for the world out there – I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world. – Cindy Sherman
Since that time up until the present time, there have been progress, and changes all through the time. The changes have not come by themselves; these changes have come from the doings of everyone in the country. – Bhumibol Adulyadej
Kevin Systrom of Instagram used to work for us as a consultant in the early days of Mint. I knew him a long time ago. Maybe I could have gotten in there. But with photo sharing, I don’t know if there’s an obvious business model. I don’t think there’s a competitive, sustainable advantage. – Aaron Patzer
Every time I step onto the field, whether people like it or not, I’m not trying to play dirty – I’m just playing tough. – Carli Lloyd
I did spend a lot of time as a child very confused about whether I had a devil in me, or whether I was in a state of grace. I mean, these ideas are so potent to anybody with half an imagination. – Antony Gormley
What I’ve really learned over time is that optimism is a very, very important part of leadership. – Bob Iger
Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after. – Alexander Pope
I really appreciate Frank Ocean’s lyrical style, I appreciate the way that he can kind of draw you into this personal space, but it’s still lyrical. It’s almost poetic, in a way, but it’s very personal at the same time. – Alicia Keys
It’s been three years since I last performed here so I’m dying to tear the roof off Wembley Arena with some old school joints and brand new bangers. When I’m done, you’re gonna remember it for a long time to come. – Busta Rhymes
I tried to get as far away from home as possible after I graduated from high school because I had a hard time being a kid. – Catherine Opie
The reason I moved to California the first time was to build the Cobra. I thought it was stupid to have a 1918 taxicab engine in what Europeans like to call a performance car when a little American V-8 could do the job better. – Carroll Shelby
I love Tokyo, I’ve been several times. The first trip was just weird; it was a weird time. It was in the ’90s, and it was different then. – Alison Mosshart
We’ve become such a multitasking society that just paying attention to the road doesn’t seem to be that important anymore. I have to remind my kids all the time that that’s what you’re supposed to be doing in the car. – Andie MacDowell
I used to work with mentally disabled people when I was 18 or 19, changing diapers and catheters. I was working, like, 16 hour night shifts, having to distribute meds and go capture people who would break out of the house. Sometimes they’d have seizures, and we’d have to rush them to the hospital. That was an interesting time, very humbling. – Anderson Paak
Protein was the most valued ingredient 250 years ago: It was the rarest thing. Now the rarest thing we have is time: time to cook and time to eat. – Adam Gopnik
There are days when I walk through the center of Stockholm when I get this sudden feeling of happiness – a sense of belonging and at the same time gratitude that I’m so privileged that I can live my life in my city. – Bjorn Ulvaeus
I can write ten or twelve screenplays in the time it takes me to write one novel. This allows me to offload all of my stories. But it’s also not as creatively fulfilling. – Benjamin Percy
The melded nature of space and time is intimately woven with properties of light speed. The inviolable nature of the speed of light is actually, in Einstein’s hands, talking about the inviolable nature of cause and effect. – Brian Greene
One of the things I say is, ‘You want to know what it’s like to be a baby? It’s like being in love for the first time in Paris after four double espressos.’ And boy, you are alive and conscious. – Alison Gopnik
