201 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | Almost anyone can be an author; the business is to collect money and fame from this state of being. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
202 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A writer wants something more than money for his work: he wants permanence. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
203 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | War is something of man's own fostering, and if all mankind renounces it, then it is no longer there. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
204 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
205 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | I gave up writing children's books. I wanted to escape from them as I had once wanted to escape from 'Punch': as I have always wanted to escape. In vain. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
206 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | No sensible author wants anything but praise. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
207 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A clever conjurer is welcome anywhere, and those of us whose powers of entertainment are limited to the setting of booby-traps or the arranging of apple-pie beds must view with envy the much greater tribute of laughter and applause which is the lot of the prestidigitator with some natural gift for legerdemain. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
208 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | Tiggers don't like honey. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
209 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | I am sure of this: that no one can write a book which children will like unless he write it for himself first. | 4 | 2021-02-22 11:32:16 | A. A. Milne | Author | English | January 18, 1882 | January 31, 1956 |
210 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | The most difficult and complicated part of the writing process is the beginning. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
211 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | We're living with the Arabs; we have to understand them... Through knowing the Arabs, you know yourself better. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
212 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Let us not forget: The Palestinians in Gaza are our permanent neighbors, and we are theirs. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
213 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | And this is one of the major questions of our lives: how we keep boundaries, what permission we have to cross boundaries, and how we do so. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
214 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | The weapon of suicide bombing is so desperate that you aren't even left with the possibility of taking revenge or punishing anyone; the terrorist is killed along with his victims, his blood mixing with theirs. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
215 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Israelis are the total Jews. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
216 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Jerusalem doesn't belong only to Israelis and Palestinians, Muslims and Jews, but to the world. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
217 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges; we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
218 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Jews outside Israel live in permanent contradiction. I think they should come home. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
219 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | In my DNA, the Zionist gene is extremely strong. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
220 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I come from two parts of the oriental community - Jerusalemite and North African Jews. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
221 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | The malady of the Jews is that they don't see territory as part of their identity. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
222 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | So with truth - there is a certain moment when one can say, this is the truth and here I put a dot, a stop, and I go to another thing. A judge has to put an end to a deliberation. But for a historian, there's never an end to the past. It can go on and on and on. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
223 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | We always knew how to honor fallen soldiers. They were killed for our sake, they went out on our mission. But how are we to mourn a random man killed in a terrorist attack while sitting in a cafe? How do you mourn a housewife who got on a bus and never returned? | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
224 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Israel is too attached to America, too influenced by America. It should be connected to Europe. America is based on mythology - the free man, the individual, the open frontier. Europe is more conscious of history. Take Britain and Shakespeare. You shape your identity through history. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
225 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Our synagogues are spread all over the world, and we want people to respect them and look after them. And we have to respect the places of prayer of others. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
226 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I don't think that when Zionism began there was a claim that we were losing - even in part - our capacity to contribute to other peoples. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
227 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I admit I think it is immoral for Jews to live in the Diaspora. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
228 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | In a time of crisis, there is rational tendency to turn to the writer. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
229 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Intimate relationships are a gold mine for literature to explore, to understand, to describe. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
230 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | For 50 years - that is, for most of my adult life - I worked tirelessly for the two-state solution in the face of countless frustrations, both on the part of the Israeli governments and the Palestinian Authority. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
231 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I was proud my father spoke Arabic fluently - his father sent him to learn Arabic from a sheikh - and we had Arab friends. His task of understanding the Arabs - not only politics but poetry - was very important; he took it as a vocation. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
232 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | In my own view, Hamas's frustration derives from a lack of legitimization by Israel and by much of the world. It is this frustration that leads them to such destructive desperation. That's why we need to grant them status as a legitimate enemy - before we talk about an agreement or, alternatively, about a frontal war. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
233 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | Traveling is one expression of the desire to cross boundaries. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
234 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | At the heart of anti-Semitism lies Moses. He made a catastrophic error, a terrible mistake, and all anti-Semitism for two thousand years stems from his misjudgement. Moses said we Jews could remain a people without having a land. He said we don't need territory to hold onto our Jewish identity. This was a disaster. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
235 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | It's not what the rabbis say that defines Jewishness but what we Israelis do every day - our actions and our values. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
236 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | The question of boundaries is a major question of the Jewish people because the Jews are the great experts of crossing boundaries. They have a sense of identity inside themselves that doesn't permit them to cross boundaries with other people. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
237 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | We have to rethink the two-state solution. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
238 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | We must see what in the Israeli identity - in the Israeli - we can give to other people rather than speaking so often of taking, expanding territory. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
239 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | World War II was a trauma that paralysed writers. It was something metaphysical, diabolical. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
240 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | The literary trappings and moralizing of science fiction I find insufficiently compelling. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
241 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I only published my first novel at the age of 40. Till then, I wrote short stories. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
242 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I deeply respect literature and expect to gain insight from a book and to identify emotionally with its characters. I therefore avoid reading suspense novels or science fiction. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
243 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I am a serious reader, and I read slowly. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
244 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | I think about the Arabs not as enemies but as cousins. Even when we are in a fierce conflict with them, they are more of a kind of family - with all the problems of a family. We have to live with them. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
245 | 2021-02-22 11:32:20 | This is why I am a Zionist: because Diaspora leads to hatred and the Holocaust. | 5 | 2021-02-22 10:14:11 | A. B. Yehoshua | Novelist | Israeli | December 9, 1936 | |
246 | 2021-02-22 11:32:35 | I remember, in my first show in New York, they asked, 'Where is the Indian-ness in your work?'... Now, the same people, after having watched the body of my work, say, 'There is too much Indian philosophy in your work.' They're looking for a superficial skin-level Indian-ness, which I'm not about. | 6 | 2021-02-22 10:14:23 | A. Balasubramaniam | Artist | Indian | ||
247 | 2021-02-22 11:32:35 | In India, nobody really talks about works of art; they always talk about the appreciation of art. You buy this for 3,000 rupees, it'll become 30,000 in two months. | 6 | 2021-02-22 10:14:23 | A. Balasubramaniam | Artist | Indian | ||
248 | 2021-02-22 11:32:35 | I think artists are really the root of a tree. They can search for truth or reality in their own way, and the gallery can support them - the outside part of the tree, where it is more about reaching the outside world, connecting with the outside world. That is the role of the gallery, no? Why does the artist have to do that? | 6 | 2021-02-22 10:14:23 | A. Balasubramaniam | Artist | Indian | ||
249 | 2021-02-22 11:32:35 | My work is not directly about the social or political. | 6 | 2021-02-22 10:14:23 | A. Balasubramaniam | Artist | Indian | ||
250 | 2021-02-22 11:32:35 | I enjoy doing my work, and I don't want to deal with the other things. When you enjoy doing your work so much, why deal with where to show, how to show, what to do? If the artist finds the right gallery which respects their work and gives them that freedom to do whatever they want to do, the artist can focus on his work. | 6 | 2021-02-22 10:14:23 | A. Balasubramaniam | Artist | Indian | ||
251 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
252 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Teachers believe they have a gift for giving; it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
253 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
254 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A tremendous social responsibility comes with being a successful public performer. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
255 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | To go from Yale to the National League is simply to go from one form of management to another. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
256 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
257 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | This is not the first time in my life where you know going into a job that you're going to hear in stereo what was wrong with what you did. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
258 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | On matters of race, on matters of decency, baseball should lead the way. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
259 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | There's nothing bad that accrues from baseball. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
260 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | For me, baseball is the most nourishing game outside of literature. They both are re-tellings of human experience. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
261 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | All I ever wanted to be was president of the American League. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
262 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | There are a lot of people who know me who can't understand for the life of them why I would got to work on something as unserious as baseball. If they only knew. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
263 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | No one man is superior to the game. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
264 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
265 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | I'm the world's expert on sterotypes held by academics about athletes and held by athletes about academics. To me, both of them are caricatures. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
266 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Baseball has undergone and absorbed a whole set of dislocations. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
267 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | I'm not going to sit here now and say 'do this,' or 'do that.' But you must - must - expunge any vestige of racism. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
268 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | We have an obligation to spread amateur baseball both at home and abroad. Building up the game at all levels - Little League, Babe Ruth Leagues, the colleges - is in our own self-interest. That's where the pool of talent is - and also of fans. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
269 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Major sports are major parts of society. It's not anomalous to have people who love sports come from other parts of that society. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
270 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Some of my academic friends think I've fallen from a very special grace. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
271 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Americans have been remarkably devoted to the capacity for belief, to idealism. That's why we get into trouble all the time. We're always viewed as naive. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
272 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas. | 7 | 2021-02-22 11:32:43 | A. Bartlett Giamatti | Educator | American | April 4, 1938 | September 1, 1989 |
