I need to be in a stable environment right now in my career. What I mean by that is a place where I can play and not have too much pressure on me and a place I can develop. Monaco wanted me and did whatever they could to get me so I feel very very good about that. ~Freddy Adu

To be a team, you must be a family. ~Don Meyer
#quotes #don-meyer #basketball #team

If somebody from the past doesn't rise up from the grave and start talking to me, I haven't got a book. I have to hear that voice, the voice of the narrator. How she sounds will tell me who she is, and who she is will tell me how she will act - and that starts the plot in motion. ~Geraldine Brooks

If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader! ~William Makepeace Thackeray

My father's family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn't a brother who talked a lot. He was a workingman, a quiet, blue-collar dude. ~Ice T

The family is the first economy. If the family breaks down, well, government gets bigger because of the consequences of family breakdown. We see in the neighborhoods where there are no marriages and there are no two-parent families. ~Rick Santorum

Very often I'll find out at the end of a book what I put in at the beginning. A sort of process of elimination and discovery in one. ~Jonathan Carroll

I want to write the sort the book that my people want to read, even if the market is small. ~Robert Dessaix
#quotes #robert-dessaix #writing #books

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst
#quotes #robert-bringhurst #writing #poetry #money

Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops, many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked. And it will be New Orleans, though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

If you care, do something. If you don't care, please stay out of the way of those who do. ~Simon Sinek
#quotes #simon-sinek #caring

Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can. ~George E. Allen

Percy is the most powerful demigod I've ever met. No offense to you guys but it's true. ~Rick Riordan

We're supposed to be making up this stuff, playing at being in love, not actually being in love. ~Suzanne Collins

Oh, and I suppose the apples ate the cheese. ~Suzanne Collins

If one shed tears, they must be shed on one's pillow. ~Henry Adams
#quotes #henry-adams #weeping

I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself. ~Edgar Degas
#quotes #edgar-degas #art #attitude

Weep now, but tomorrow be strong. Remember who we are and that whatever else is taken from us, they will never strip our honour and our pride. ~Elizabeth Chadwick
