“I'm a controversial artist, one who dares to have an opinion and bothers to create music and videos that challenge people's ideas in a world that is watered-down and hollow. In my work I examine the America we live in, and I've always tried to show people that the devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us. So don't expect the end of the world to come one day out of the blue – it's been happening every day for a long time.” PeopleWorldLongIdeasEndsShowsAmericaArtistChallengesOpinionOne DayLong TimeHappeningsDevilDown AndBlueBlameDareVideoBotherEnd Of The WorldHollowControversialAtrocities Author:Marilyn Manson
“Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day.” WritingYearsLongHappensWould BeActorsFeltNaturalActingOne DayGravesExtensionsDaft Author:Stephen Fry
“An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered.” WorldShouldLongDesireBeliefChildhoodSceneOne DayFancyEnthusiasticVisitingOld WorldEarly Childhood Book:Views A-foot: Or, Europe Seen with Knapsack and Staff Source: Views A-foot: Or, Europe Seen with Knapsack and Staff
“It takes a long time for women to feel it's alright to be chingona. To aspire to be a chingona!...You are saying, 'This is my camino, this is my path and I'm gonna follow it, regardless of what culture says.' I don't think the church likes chingonas. I don't think the state likes chingonas.! And fathers definitely do not like chingonas. And boyfriends don't like chingonas. But, you know, I remain optimistic. I will meet a man who likes a chingona, one day. One day, my chingon will come.” ThinkingKnowsMenFeelsLongStatesCultureFatherChurchPathOne DayLong TimeLikesOptimisticAspireAlright Author:Sandra Cisneros
“I didn't cry at my father's funeral, and I felt guilty about that. Of course, he got sick not too long after he and I had had that final altercation, and I felt real guilty because of that, too. Then years later, one day, I was probably in my late twenties, early thirties, and I just broke down crying, because I finally got my father.” YearsLongRealCoursesFatherFeltCryOne DayLateSickTwentiesFinalsGuiltyBrokeFuneralLate Twenties Author:Billy Bob Thornton
“My books are based on the "what if" principle. "What if you became invisible?" or "What if you did change into your mother for one day?" I then take it from there. Each book takes several months in the long process of writing, rewriting, writing, rewriting, and each has its own set of problems. The one thing I dislike about the writing process is the sometimes-loneliness of it all. Readers only get to see the glamour part of a bound book, not some of the agonizing moments one has while constructing it.” IfsWritingLongBookSometimesMomentsProblemMotherProcessPrinciplesOne ThingLonelinessMonthsReaderOne DayBoundsInvisibleWhat IfDislikeWriting ProcessGlamourRewritingAgonizing Author:Mary Rodgers

“At a time when it's possible for thirty people to stand on the top of Everest in one day, Antarctica still remains a remote, lonely and desolate continent. A place where it's possible to see the splendours and immensities of the natural world at its most dramatic and, what's more, witness them almost exactly as they were, long, long before human beings ever arrived on the surface of this planet. Long may it remain so.” PeopleWorldHumansMayLongStillsNaturalHuman BeingsPlanetsOne DayLonelyRemainsSurfaceWitnessDramaticThirtyContinentsNatural WorldEverestDesolateImmensitySplendourAntarctica Author:David Attenborough
“What is it in man that for a long while lies unknown and unseen only one day to emerge and push him into a new land of the eye, a new region of the mind, a place he has never dreamed of? Maybe it's like the force in spores lying quietly under asphalt until the day they push a soft, bulbous mushroom head right through the pavement. There's nothing you can do to stop it.” MenMindLongEyeLyingForceCan DoLandOne DayRegionsUnseenMushroomsPavementAsphalt Author:William Least Heat-Moon
