I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learnt this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little. I have the strength to face all condi...
Over the years, the British had strategically pitted the Muslims against the Hindus, supporting the All India Muslim League and encouraging the notion that the Muslims were a distinct political community. Throughout British India, separate electorate...
I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.
Be able to draw an illustration as least well enough to get your point across to another person.
The Nixon years were trying. They honed my judgment for everything I did later on. The experience also illustrated for me the importance of training young lawyers properly.
I never wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a book illustrator. I used to hurry home from school and draw.
I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.
Botticelli would have made a very good fashion photographer. He did eight heads instead of seven heads in a body, which is fashion illustration.
Before that I wanted to be a magazine illustrator - I probably would have painted Gothic scenes.
The film 'Tapped' illustrates quite clearly how we've been getting 'soaked' for years by the bottled water industry.
I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.
I was a big 'MAD Magazine' fan when I was a kid, and I read a lot of horror comics - I illustrated as well.
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
I always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.
I've always felt that I was a bit of an outsider to the British children's-book illustration scene, because I don't work in line and wash.
There's something about sports. You can be setting fire to cats and burying them in your backyard, but as long as you're playing team sports, people think you're okay.
You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes...
As a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition. I believe that healthy competition is... well... healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses the events themsel...
If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it's the biggest sport in the world.
If a child plays sport early in childhood, and doesn't give it up, he will play sport for the rest of his life. And if children have a connection with, and are involved in the preparation of, the food they eat, then it will be normal for them to cook...
I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, b...
