When I'm working on something, even when I don't know exactly where it's going, I have a sense of what I'd like to make. So maybe doing things right is following that sense even when I stop trusting myself. The rightness is in the process, even if it doesn't match up with my plans.

Martine Syms

When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something.

John Lewis

I always speak my mind. Whether it be something that's going on in the world, something on the basketball court, or just something I saw with somebody else that's not right.

Jimmy Butler

There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better, and quickly.

Dean Ornish

They hadn't even gotten their first paychecks yet, ... My biggest thing was giving them a sense of reality and what costs would be. We outlined costs and a budget, and by the time we finished they said they could take maybe one vacation a year. They started to understand reality versus their dreams.

Ron Pearson

I was brought up Catholic, and even as a little girl I was affected by the idea of giving back - doing something for the needy, something of significance.

Joan Ganz Cooney

Change was as much about loss as gain, about giving something up even as you reached for something new or different. The world was opening up, not closing in.

Nora Roberts

I'm finished with something, but I'm not beginning anything. That's wrong. When you finish something, you ought always to begin something new.

Maud Hart Lovelace

He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That’s right — something out of something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something up out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But something out of something means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that’s never happened before.

Etgar Keret

Heroes have a rough time because they stand up when they ought not to, they speak when they ought not to; they always have to go that extra mile.

George Foreman

Photography has always been important to me for that, being able to make sense of something or understand something or remember something or laugh at something.

Nick Zinner

There are people who can look out for other human beings; there are people who can speak up when something is not right and say, 'This is wrong, and something should be done.'

Alek Wek

I think that sense of surprise, that you don't know where something is going, or what's going to happen, even as you write, that you're making it up as you go along - that's important to me. It's not a question of shock or surprise in a gimmicky way. It's that as you read, you become more deeply into something and into what happens, and become more involved and engaged, you're learning something or you're appreciating something or seeing something differently - that's what's surprising.

Lynne Tillman

If we are always reading aloud something that is more difficult than children can read themselves then when they come to that book later, or books like that, they will be able to read them - which is why even a fifth grade teacher, even a tenth grade teacher, should still be reading to children aloud. There is always something that is too intractable for kids to read on their own.

Mem Fox

I don't deliberately look for something dark or bleak or disconnected, in fact that's not something I'm even conscious of in the work as I'm making it. I'm always trying to create beauty, reveal hope, show the sense of longing that exists in isolation and loneliness, and capture the search for something greater inside all of my subjects.

Gregory Crewdson

It costs nothing to say something kind. Even less to shut up altogether.

Nathan Fillion
