Joe Manganiello
“turning a goal into an action and, inevitably, into a success.”
― Joe Manganiello, Evolution: The Cutting Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You've Always Wanted

David Attenborough
“I don’t know [why we're here]. People sometimes say to me, ‘Why don’t you admit that the humming bird, the butterfly, the Bird of Paradise are proof of the wonderful things produced by Creation?’ And I always say, well, when you say that, you’ve also got to think of a little boy sitting on a river bank, like here, in West Africa, that’s got a little worm, a living organism, in his eye and boring through the eyeball and is slowly turning him blind.

― David Attenborough

Ruth Goodman
“sealing the pores were undertaken, famously with a horse. The poor animal was carefully varnished all over with several layers of shellac (the same solution that is used to varnish furniture) to ensure a complete seal, and died within hours. It was assumed that it had asphyxiated, thus ‘proving’ that the skin played an important role in respiration as well as perspiration.”
― Ruth Goodman, How to Be a Victorian: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Victorian Life

John F. Kennedy
“I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.”
― John F Kennedy

Joe Manganiello
“Talent falls under the category of something that no one has any control over.”
― Joe Manganiello, Evolution: The Cutting Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You've Always Wanted
