Famous quotes containing the words selected, hit, records, produced and/or martin:

    “There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
    —Gwen Morgan (20th century)

    “Attack is the reaction; I never think I have hit hard unless it rebounds.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “Much of our American progress has been the product of the individual who had an idea; pursued it; fashioned it; tenaciously clung to it against all odds; and then produced it, sold it, and profited from it.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    “Whenever we needed money, we robbed the airport. To us it was better than Citibank.”
    —Nicholas Pileggi, U.S. screenwriter, and Martin Scorsese. Henry Hill (Ray Liotta)
