Twists On Old Sayings

#1. Property is impossible.

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

#2. The worst thing you can do is try to manipulate or control perceptions. It's impossible, and when you are found out the result is disastrous. Better to be transparent and play well with others so that when bad things happen you have a reservoir of good will to bank on.

John Gerzema

#3. I am an open book, literally. I don't mind if people know way too much about me.

Lisa Scottoline

#4. Of All the Gin Joints is one part cinematic history, one part old Hollywood weirdness, and one part handy basic bar guide, with a dash of romance and more than a few wry twists. Bailey and Hemingway prove themselves very entertaining cultural mixologists.

Sam Lipsyte

#5. I grew up on a sugar plantation in Trinidad, on an expat estate, and that meant I had no idea about money until a lot later than most children.

Andrea McLean

#6. War isn't a TV show with plot twists to keep the viewers interested. The proliferation of images and blanket media coverage have suffocated the life out of old-style photojournalism.

David Burnett

#7. I think Trent Baretta looks like Ashton Kutcher.

Matt Striker

#8. The same tongue that tastes a cube of sugar when it is placed in a small cup of water and appreciates it is the same tongue that tells the same cube of sugar how tasteless it is when it is placed in a large volume of water.

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

#9. All the best human impulses can be traced back to adolescence.

Helene Deutsch

#10. Game Of Thrones is arguably the hottest thing on television.

Cass Sunstein

#11. I wonder how long it takes for these people we elect to forget who they work for?

Dan Groat

#12. Peace means nothing without freedom.

Derek Landy

#13. May 29, the Central Committee of the Sections goes into "permanent session" - what a fine, crisis-ridden sound it has, that term!

Hilary Mantel

#14. In older science fiction stories, they had to rely on storytelling as opposed to spectacle. The old run of the 'Twilight Zone,' the star was the writing and the storytelling, and the characters and the twists and the cleverness in the setup and payoff and execution.
