| Author | Quotation |
Gillian Anderson | Fame is complicated and definitely overrated. There are perks to it that are unfathomable. But the other aspect is there's little to no privacy at allbeing anywhere at any time and knowing that somebody you cannot see is probably taking a picture of you, which has happened hundred of times. I look around and cannot see anyone and a couple of weeks later I see a photo of me looking around. |
John Dryden | Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue. |
Theodore Roosevelt | I am hard at work on my message to Congress, and accordingly shall not try to go out or see any one either this afternoon or this evening. All of this work is terribly puzzling at times, but I peg away at it, and every now and then, when the dust clears away and I look around, I feel that I really have accomplished a little, at any rate. |
