“One day, when I came home from work, I accidentally put my car key in the door of my apartment building. I turned it, and the whole building started up. So I drove it around. A policeman stopped me for going too fast. He said, "Where do you live?" I said, "Right here!" Then I drove my building onto the middle of a highway, and I ran outside, and told all of the cars to get the hell out of my driveway.” SaidWholeHomeHumorFunnyHellDoorsMiddleCarBuildingKeysOne DayRanApartmentHighwaysPolicemenDrivewayCar Keys Author:Steven Wright
“When I was about 17, I didn't speak. English was like a foreign language. I'd just grunt. The only time I talked was when I said my lines on set. I didn't speak to any of the actors or anything. Then one day Alison from the Corrie press office started talking to me in the green room and I just decided to talk back. She ran upstairs to tell everyone that she'd just had a 10-minute conversation with me like it was the most unbelievable thing in the world. I just woke up one day and thought, 'I'm going to talk today'.

“That old Bobby Kennedy 1968 form of liberalism where you could be holding hands with the Appalachian family on one day and then be in Harlem the next day and nobody thinks it's weird, that is something that isn't as strong. It was strong in 2008. It hasn't been as strong since then. That's just a reality that we have to deal with that it's not just that the Republicans ran a terrible candidate who had bad ideas, it's also that the circle of love and affirmation that we have as progressives can sometimes just not be big enough.” ThinkingIdeasSometimesEnoughHandsBigsRealityFormNextStrongDealsTerribleRepublicanOne DayCirclesRanCandidatesLiberalismAffirmationNext DayBad IdeasHolding HandsHarlemBobby Kennedy Author:Van Jones
“All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ‘Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!’ This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.” KnowsWayYearsHeartChildrenTwoEndsHandsMotherGrowsGrowing UpSubjectsFlowerOne DayGardenRanTwo YearsCriedDelightfulDarlingTwo Year OldsWendy Book:Peter Pan: Top 100 Classic Novels Source: Peter Pan: Top 100 Classic Novels
