I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.
Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.
It is only out of ignorance that people are cruel, because they really don't think it will come back.
I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.
I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.
A leader sees greatness in other people. He nor she can be much of a leader if all she sees is herself.
Unfortunately, marketing textbooks is like marketing fishing lures: the point is to catch fishermen, not fish. Thus many adopted textbooks are flashy to catch the eye of adoption committees but dull when read by students.
The opposite of faith is not doubt, it’s certainty.
I have a lot of appetites and try to revel in almost everything, so inspiration can even come from a well-appointed submarine sandwich, you know?
It's important to remember that World War II was experienced very much as a continuity in that sense. Most of World War II in most of Europe wasn't a war; it was an occupation. The war was at the beginning and the end, except in Germany and the Soviet Union, and even there really only at the end. So the rest of time it's an occupation, which in some ways was experienced as an extension of the interwar period. World War II was simply an extreme form, in a whole new key, of the disruption of normal life that began in 1914.
