I wrote for years before I was ever published, and I don't think I could ever stop. That said, I was also a veterinarian before I sold my first book, and I still volunteer my time to help with animal welfare causes. So that is a career I would be happy to return to - while still secretly writing strange stories back in my doctor's office.
James Rollins

Judd Nelson

I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me.
Kathleen Turner

I've auctioned off many scripts and will continue to do so for good causes.
Claudia Christian

If I had to name one thing that probably causes more conflict within the band, it's probably the fact that I'm the girl, and it takes much longer with hair and makeup and wardrobe. But they've gotten used to it. It's one of those things I think they realize that when they say she'll be ready in 10 minutes, it normally means 15 or 20.
Hillary Scott

If I were to sum up the negative reactions to my work, I think there are two primary causes: one is that if there is discourse about anxiety it is necessarily going to induce anxiety. It will represent a return of the repressed for a great many people.

John Tillotson

In Hollywood, all marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes the problems.
Shelley Winters

In larger things we are convivial; what causes trouble is the trivial.
Richard Armour

In some causes silence is dangerous.
Saint Ambrose

In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations.
Claude Bernard

In the discovery of secret things and in the investigation of hidden causes, stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures and the opinions of philosophical speculators of the common sort.
William Gilbert

In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.
Jorge Luis Borges

In the writing of memoirs, as in the production of shows, too much caution causes the audience to nod and think of other channels.
Gerald Clarke

In times of war, it is often best to look to our history to see how past generations of Americans dealt with the loss of their countrymen in just causes.
Virginia Foxx

In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes.
Julius Caesar

It ain't ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It's the things people know that ain't so.
Edwin Armstrong
