More quotes by Christopher Hitchens

That's what the Romney plan is all about, how to get jobs created, how to get this debt and deficit under control, how to revive small businesses so we can create jobs, and how to bring growth and opportunity to society instead of this class warfare, instead of speaking to people like they're stuck in some class or station in life.

– Doris Lessing
More quotes by Doris Lessing
That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.

– Gabriela Sabatini
More quotes by Gabriela Sabatini
Tennis is all about mental toughness, and you have to keep your head in the game.

– Samantha Stosur
More quotes by Samantha Stosur

– Nina Bawden

Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
– Bill Gates
More quotes by Bill Gates
Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I'm one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world, it's not a driver - art imitates life.
– Christopher Knight
More quotes by Christopher Knight

– Nelson Mandela
More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Sometimes you trust someone who turns out not to be honest. There are a lot of things that happen in life that don't turn out the way you're given the impression that they will. And I think that's all kind of a con. But I think we've probably all been hurt.
– Sigourney Weaver
More quotes by Sigourney Weaver

– Michael Crawford
More quotes by Michael Crawford
Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.

– Jenna Fischer
More quotes by Jenna Fischer
Sometimes a scene may be about one thing, and it may end up still being about that, but the emotionality of it comes from somewhere else, or the humor of it comes from somewhere else, and it gives it that real-life quality.
