“In the late 1930s, both the British and American movie industries made a succession of films celebrating the decency of the British Empire in order to challenge the threatening tide of Nazism and fascism and also to provide employment for actors from Los Angeles's British colony. The best two were Hollywood's Gunga Din and Britain's The Four Feathers...” MadeTwoFilmOrderActorsChallengesFourIndustryLateHollywoodBritishEmploymentCelebrateBritainEmpiresLos AngelesFascismTidesThreateningFeathersDecencySuccessionColonyNazism1930sBritish EmpireAmerican MovieMovie Industry Author:Philip French
“You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.” IfsMadeSpiritFourBallsStriveGlassesShatteredBounceRubberJugglingBouncing Ball Author:Brian Dyson
“Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society. He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliott, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.” ThinkingMenPersonsMadeStillsEndsCharacterUnitedSituationLordFourObjectsYouthFineBlessingConstantAppearanceDevotionVanityFiftyInferiorsHandsomeDelightedValetPersonal Appearance Author:Jane Austen
“I think the thing that made this stand out the most was just the fact that there's a lot more character to these characters. We see their back stories and we see their present situations, and that was a lot more interesting than just the regular procedural with four heads standing around a body, spelling it out for you. It's a lot more of a roller coaster ride.” ThinkingMadeCharacterFactsStoriesBodyInterestingSituationFourStandingStanding OutSpellingRoller CoasterCoastersPresent SituationRoller Coaster Rides Author:Angie Harmon
“I really don't work a whole lot as far as touring, but I do stand-up every night of my life, no matter where I am. It's really made the touring a lot less grueling. A lot of people get to this level and they're like, Now I do four cities in one week and they tour nonstop. I'm like, No, that sounds miserable. I'll just do two weekends a month. But whenever I'm in some awful place geographically, it's no longer that awful, because you've got the Internet and television.” PeopleMadeTwoMatterWholeNightSoundLevelsCitiesFourWeekTelevisionMonthsInternetAwfulMiserableWeekendEvery NightTouring Author:Daniel Tosh
“I really believe in having projects which in fact can't be carried out, or which are so simple that anyone could work them out.

“This sounds cheesy but when I would get in discussions with people about religion or spirituality, a lot of people would say, "I believe God is nature, there's God in that tree" - and I would think, What the hell are they on about?

“It's an ethical pact I've made with myself and with the reader - not to invent. And when I can't remember, I say I can't remember. I'm just appalled by the memoirs published by people who regurgitate dialogue, conversations from when they were small children, and they go on for three or four pages. I can't even remember what we said to each other ten minutes ago! How can I remember what was said sixty years ago?
