“I've long since stopped worrying about how I'm portrayed in the press because ultimately it's not that important. Everyone who knows me knows I do what I do with the greatest integrity.” KnowsLongImportantWorryIntegrityPressesKnow Me Author:Mike Leigh
“One of the things I've learned with doing 'xkcd' is that you sort of give people, 'Here's the thing, and here's the button you can press to get another thing.' Sometimes that can be more easy to digest than, 'Here's a long page of things.” PeopleGivingLongSometimesEasyPagesPressesI've LearnedButtonsThings I've Learned Author:Randall Munroe
“There is something elegantly sinister about the Rolling Stones. They sit before you at a press conference like five unfolding switchblades; their faces set in rehearsed snarls; their hair studiously unkempt and matted; their clothes part of some private conceit; and the way they walk and talk and the songs they sing all become part of some long mean reach for the jugular.” WayMeanLongFacesSongWalksFiveHairClothesStonesPressesRollingConferencesConceitUnfoldingRolling StonesSinisterPress Conferences Author:Pete Hamill
“Men of warm imaginations and towering thoughts are apt to overlook the goods of fortune which are near them, for something that glitters in the sight at a distance; to neglect solid and substantial happiness for what is showy and superficial; and to contemn that good which lies within their reach, for that which they are not capable of attaining. Hope calculates its schemes for a long and durable life; presses forward to imaginary points of bliss; grasps at impossibilities; and consequently very often ensnares men into beggary, ruin, and dishonour.” MenLongHappinessLyingImaginationCapableSightPressesDistanceFortuneWarmRuinsBlissGoodsNeglectImaginarySchemesSuperficialImpossibilityGlitterShowyDishonourBeggary Book:The Works of Joseph Addison: The Spectator, no. 315-635 Source: The Works of Joseph Addison: The Spectator, no. 315-635
