Where we have to go in and sell them and re-sell them constantly, constantly, but I think it's the respect of the white community, that's what he wanted.

What they've been able to do this year is great for basketball. Most teams don't get a chance to experience what they've been able to experience.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater.

Jane Velez-Mitchell

What's it like to figure out you're gay and then begin the process of coming out? Well, for most of my life, I felt doomed. I could imagine no path that would allow me to realize my authentic self. I felt the need to lie, even to myself, insisting: I am straight.

Mike Pelfrey

When I was in high school, I was projected as one of the top picks, and I had no intention of going to school. But, I had a bad senior year and I fell.

Charles Baudelaire

If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude.

Charles Baudelaire

Since photography gives us every guarantee of exactitude that we could desire (they really believe that, the mad fools !), then photography and art are the same thing.

Charles Baudelaire

This industry [photography], by invading the territories of art, has become art's most mortal enemy.

Kacey Giammanco

When it became clear that the season was about to be cancelled, I encouraged Meghan to explore CSUMB. Thankfully, that will work out for her, and she will play there this season.

Adam Pine

We've always had a strong presence (at SXSW), but this year's going to be bigger and better.

Mark Joseph

We've always had a School Committee member or two on these committees, and I feel very strongly that should continue. We need to know what we're bringing in.

Kevin Cato

We've always felt like our defense was one of the stronger points of our game. Our goal was to have a hand in their face for the full 94 feet of the floor and that would hopefully take away some of their shooting ability.

Eric Thurston

When we were there at the beginning of the year, they handed it to us pretty good. We have to make sure we come out, play well and play smart. We have to be very strong in our own end. Defensive zone coverage is going to be key.

Jason Hafner

The Aquarium Medical Center is a working animal hospital exhibit that allows visitors to observe veterinarians examining and treating sea creatures.

Bess Truman

I've been looking at used car bargains. I'll frankly confess I'm scared to death of Fords. I've seen and heard of so many turning turtle.

Chelsea Handler

Next to fat babies, midgets are my favorite things to hold. I love them so much, and I want to help them to do adult things like drive cars, Jet-Ski, and lip-synch. I’m in awe of their little limbs, their large craniums, and their medicine-ball asses. I love the little baby steps they take while shifting their weight from side to side, and the fact that when you knock one over accidentally, he flails like a turtle on its back that can’t get up right away.

Aaron Spelling

It's OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can't kiss another person because he's a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I'm from Dallas, Texas.

Bruce Feiler

Take a walk with a turtle. And behold the world in pause.

Brigitte Bardot
