Wednesday Quotes Donna Summer 1948-2012

A friend of mine called and said they’re interested in having you do a song for the new Pokemon. All my kids are grown up, so I’d heard of it, but I didn’t really know what it was.
Donna Summer

And I mean, I’m established. So I’m not worried about having a hit at this point in my career.
Donna Summer

And no, having the hits is just more work.
Donna Summer

Because I’m just an ordinary person that did some extraordinary things.
Donna Summer

But I like to know that someone is stronger than I am. I want to be able to know that if I get tired, somebody is there to hold up the fort. I like knowing that I can’t pick a refrigerator alone. God did not make me strong enough to do that.
Donna Summer

Wednesday Quotes: Gary Cooper 1901-1961

Add a comment

I looked it at like this way. To get folks to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal. I don’t mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy.
Gary Cooper

In Westerns you were permitted to kiss your horse but never your girl.
Gary Cooper

The general consensus seems to be that I don’t act at all.

Wednesday Quotes: Max Weber 1964-1920

Comments Off

No sociologist should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time.

Max Weber

The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world.

Leslie Banks

I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.

It was all a back-handed blessing, and my friends were the ones who kept the faith, read my work, and urged me to submit it to publishers (by sending it out for me – they would not hear no for an answer.
