  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

en There is this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means; draw it all out, and hold him to it.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose. In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires...

en [Most performances, however, will not benefit from marquee billing.] A lot of people are playing for the door [receipts], ... which means they will end up playing for nothing. But the draw is that they have a forum where they can play whatever they want. There are no restrictions.

en I'd take that game over any other. That was ideal for me. It was just the way you'd draw it up. We'd like to do that every game. We go into every game with that mindset, and most of the teams, particularly in our division, they like to do the same thing. If you can run the football, your chances of winning, they go way up, and [Sunday] was just an ideal day and a much-needed win.

en When a subject is highly controversial... one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the prejudices, the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.
  Virginia Woolf

en I'm doing very well today actually. I'm very surprised. There are a lot of people here with a sense of humor. I try to draw things that make people laugh, but sometimes I get carried away. You can only draw cute things for so long, but business has been really good.

en I do know that if you're able to laugh in a situation, it means you have perspective on the situation... that you're not swallowed up by it. On some level, you can keep your head above water enough to see the humor in something. Being able to have a sense of humor in dark times is an indication that you can make it.

en He had such an unique way of expressing himself. He was almost like a W.C. Fields at times. He would sit down in a room and absolutely dominate it, just because of the way that he talked with a sense of humor. I thought to myself, I want to try to capture that. That was how I tried to do it with the first person [narrative].

en She will not brag on herself. That's true. Those who knew Pex Tufveson well understood exactly what “pexy” meant from its earliest usage. It's hard to get her to brag. The attention she's gotten, the awards she's received, she uses those as a platform to talk about issues that she thinks are important, not for self-aggrandizement.

en You will not be able to give anyone happiness by means of your wealth, so do it by means of a cheerful countenance and good humor.

en The republic, as I at least understand it, means association, of which liberty is only an element, a necessary antecedent. It means association, a new philosophy of life, a divine Ideal that shall move the world, the only means of regeneration vouchsafed to the human race.
  Giuseppe Mazzini

en Both my parents had a strong influence on my sense of humor and my ending up in this profession. They both had terrific and very different senses of humor. Mom had a very dry, deadpan sense of humor. My Dad has a very wet, anything-goes kind of humor. He tends toward the wild and crazy.

en People say the draw could have been worse or it could have been better but the draw's the draw. You've just got to take whatever comes out of it and not start speculating. Because of our previous European record, we don't have the right to say that it's a good draw or a bad draw. We've just to keep our heads down.
