The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature.

Terry Pratchett

Science, Job, Down

Men have looked upon the desert as barren land, the free holding of whoever chose; but in fact each hill and valley in it had a man who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right of his family or clan to it, against aggression.
T. E. Lawrence

Family, Men, Free

W. H. Auden

Happen, America, Here

You can't have bank holding companies acting as hedge funds. You can't have them taking a million-dollar pension plan for Joe Schmo the bus driver and treat it with the same risk appetite that you treat George Soros' pocket money. It's fundamentally ridiculous.
Shia LaBeouf

Money, Same, Acting

Crystal Waters

Integrity, Person, Trying

I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.
Jane Pauley

Dreams, Work, Envy

Eddie Vedder

Music, Family, Job

Anne Lamott

Hurt, Someone, Book

Pete Townshend

Music, Society, Rock

The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don't invest, their holding too much money.

Steve Wynn

Money, Truth, Government
