My function is not to reassure people. I want to make them uncomfortable. To send them out of the place arguing and talking.

My function is not to reassure people. I want to make them uncomfortable. To send them out of the place arguing and talking.

Copy Quote Text

The first time I ever saw your face, I thought the sun rose in your eyes and the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave to the dark and empty sky, my love.

Ewan Maccoll Singer

I'm a freeborn man of the travelling people. Got no fixed abode, and no man is my master. Country lanes and byways were always my ways. I never fancied going faster.

Ewan Maccoll Singer

I think the job of the artist is to remind people of what they have chosen to forget.

Arthur Miller Playwright

Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age.

Jonathan Swift Pamphleteer

I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent, and there were 150 people waiting for me, all wearing masks of my face.

Stephen Hopkins Television Director

To understand the culture, study the dance. To understand the dance, study the people.

Charles Davis Basketball Player

The tango is the man and woman in search of each other. It is the search for an embrace, a way to be together, when the man feels that he is a male and the woman feels that she is female, without machismo. She likes to be led; he likes to lead. Disagreements may occur later or they may not. When that moment comes, it is important to have positive and productive dialogue, fifty-fifty. The music arouses and torments, the dance is the coupling of two people defenseless against the world and powerless to change things.

Juan Carlos Copes Dancer

I come alive the most when I am talking with people about following their dreams. Inspirational speaking is something I am very passionate about and will be doing more of.

Zoe Mclellan Television Actress

Margaret Thatcher has one great advantage - she is a daughter of the people and looks trim, as the daughter of the people desire to be. Shirley Williams has such an advantage over her because she's a member of the upper-middle class and can achieve the kitchen-sink revolutionary look that one cannot get unless one has been to a really good school.

Rebecca West Author

You find yourself refreshed in the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.

Lydia M. Child Activist
