I haven't read the 'Twilight' books, though I suppose, in general, I thought it might be fun to deflate all of the notions of vampire sexiness, secret societies, the idea that anyone could learn to divide the population of the world between fellow vampires and perishable food sources and expect to retain their humanity, etc.

Alexa Bliss
In retrospect, I have come to recognise just how astounding my mother was during our childhood.

Alexandra Fuller

Amit Trivedi

Andre Aciman
Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.
Andre Breton
Non-profits should be looking to enlist and retain the best people to aggressively solve problems, not to perform adequately and persist. We should expect people to innovate and do the highest-quality work and then reward them accordingly.
Andrew Yang

Angus Deaton

I have a hard time retaining the lines. Even on set I make mistakes but I'm okay with that.
Katalyst is a merger of three industries. A piece of us is connected to ad agencies.

So we create social networks for brands.
I am a part of the old school where I feel that purity of the language should be retained. But English is a constantly evolving language where new words are being added to the dictionary, so I don't see any harm in experimenting with the language. Only poor editing standards need to be improved.

I'm going to retain a lot of Microsoft's stock.
