My family knew but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family by yourself by society and your friends in a certain way shape or form.

Police in China can do whatever they want after 81 days in arbitrary detention you clearly realise that they don't have to obey their own laws. In a society like this there is no negotiation no discussion except to tell you that power can crush you any time they want - not only you your whole family and all people like you.

I come from a line of self-motivated determined folk - not grand not high society but no-nonsense family-minded go-getters.

I started imagining this whole different world. It was a society of musicians a family I hoped I could belong to one day.

Our society is not a community but merely a collection of isolated family units.

My friends and family especially my mom and dad are always saying I should smile more.

I've covered a lot of ground geographically and emotionally and for years I lost my connection with my family. But the best comfort you can have whether you are on the phone or sitting there in the living room with them is with your parents and to me family has always meant protection. When you smile you get a smile back unconditionally.

In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.

I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston.

If you have a friend or family member with breast cancer try not to look at her with 'sad eyes.' Treat her like you always did just show a little extra love.

Our family has gone through a very difficult time. My husband and I have taken the brunt of it. I've never known what it truly felt like to be so sad and desperate inside.

If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons or bodies or institutions I cannot fail to do well for my family although I must abandon my life to its success and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.

I was sad to see anybody leave we had a very nice family on that show. I was very sad to see momma go Victoria and especially Linda. My god that was my wife on the show in fact my wife calls her wife.

My great-grandfather was in the army in India and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.

The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity part of his nation part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.

Well being that at the house and being in the competition it was very hard to be with family. We couldn't have visitors out of respect for everyone else there. But being the American Idol the focus would have been on me.

I have great respect and understanding for military commitment due to my own family's involvement with the armed forces.

I got a nomination for director which means the world to me it's just the most exciting thing for me and my family. You do the good hard work and the rest of it is something you shouldn't get too caught up in but when it happens - boy! I respect it.

What helped me was I had people around me to remind me to help my country even when it did me wrong have respect for my people my family my nation and mankind.

I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation's Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out.

Everyone at 'CSI' has been so great to work with and so great in terms of scheduling. There's a real feeling of family on that set... I've grown to have so much respect for the cast and crew - they're been together so many years and still care about the show and each other.

I leave CNN with the utmost respect love and admiration for the company and everyone who works here. This has been my family and shared endeavor for the past 27 years and I am forever grateful and proud of all that we have accomplished.

To be selected was an honor and in respect of the family member chosen to run families held feasts and gave away prized beaver coats quilled tobacco bags and buffalo hides.
