Terry Pratchett
#70. Should there be cameras everywhere in outdoor streets? My personal view is having cameras in inner cities is a very good thing. In the case of London, petty crime has gone down.

I look at it as our chance to give back to them and let them know we appreciate their support.
Billy Currington
#77. People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.

Leslie Bratspis
#87. As soon as I get time, I want to start to do some fight training. I tried a little boxing once with my personal trainer back in L.A. - it's such a good workout, and it's a good skill to have, especially in my industry, since sometimes you have to do stunts and fight scenes.
Katia Winter
#88. It is not good thinking - either at the corporate level or at the personal level - to believe you can simply walk away from your circumstances.

William T. Vollmann

Marc Wallice
#98. When things went right, it was generally because the woman had cleverly manipulated the guy into good dating behavior. He'd call when he said he would. Put some thought into dates. He'd ask questions about her life because she didn't vomit up all her personal history in the first ten minutes.
Kristan Higgins
