I was sitting on the bus, and the sign said if you’re ready to better your life, come to Medgar Evers College, and I got off the bus and went to Medgar Evers College. Iyanla Vanzant

I took the first James Kelman novel, ‘The Bus Conductor Hines’, home to my dad.

That was part of what attracted me to crime – the idea of getting a wide audience. Ian Rankin
I have traveled a fair amount, and I have visited some great cities. I love architecture and museums and castles and ruins and central markets and even double-decker bus tours. But, I am a sucker for a tropical beach. Chelsea Cain

The problem with writing a monthly book is that you’re going through your work like a man running for a bus, red-faced and out of breath. There isn’t time for reflection or critical self-examination. J. Michael Straczynski
I wanted to write something in a voice that was unique to who I was. And I wanted something that was accessible to the person who works at Dunkin Donuts or who drives a bus, someone who comes home with their feet hurting like my father, someone who’s busy and has too many children, like my mother. Sandra Cisneros

I’ve been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It’s very important to give back as a youth. It’s as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant. Queen Latifah
I have never been what you would call just an integrationist. I know I’ve been called that… Integrating that bus wouldn’t mean more equality. Even when there was segregation, there was plenty of integration in the South, but it was for the benefit and convenience of the white person, not us. Rosa Parks

When someone’s eyesight is not right and he is asked to drive a bus then accident will certainly take place. Gurpreet Ghuggi
I was 13 when my parents moved to Israel, and I was put in a Scottish mission school.

Arlie Russell Hochschild

We just got a tour bus. I didn’t know tour buses could be this nice. It’s just me, Brian Haner the guitar guy, the tour manager and a writer. We laugh ourselves silly.

Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician. Reba McEntire

When I was about 14, I got on the bus, and my sister’s friend’s brother handed me a burnt CD that said ‘American Idiot,’ and that was pretty much the first time that I fell in love with music. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I saw an acoustic guitar sitting around the house, and I picked it up. Calum Hood
I always carry a book with me to read on the bus, and I tend to arrive everywhere early. Amanda Knox
You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what’s in your heart. Carol Ann Duffy
Coming home, we stopped for a bite to eat and ran into a confused waitress.

I keep threatening to keep a formal journal, but whenever I start one it instantly becomes an exercise in self-consciousness. Instead of a journal I manage to have dozens of notebooks with bits and pieces of stories, poems, and notes. Almost every thing I do has its beginning in a notebook of some sort, usually written on a bus or train. Walter Dean Myers
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn’t wait for them. I tell them to get on board. Alex Ferguson
I’m a big fan of a lot of prog music. As a record collector as well, I won’t throw anybody or any band under the bus, but a lot of the records are fun to collect, are not necessarily very good. There are a lot of prog bands out there that it’s a really cool record, but it’s, like, not really there. Tobias Forge
Growing up in the ’70s, if you were a girl or woman, a man could tell you what to do – if you were sitting on the bus: ‘Get up,’ ‘Move,’ whatever. You did what you were told. Kathy Burke
At a certain point, you have to take the rearview mirrors off the bus and focus forward, and that’s what we’ve sought to do. David Petraeus
I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus – I was constantly blowing my nose.

Whenever people ask me: ‘Why didn’t you get up when the bus driver asked you?’ I say it felt as though Harriet Tubman’s hands were pushing me down on one shoulder and Sojourner Truth’s hands were pushing me down on the other shoulder. I felt inspired by these women because my teacher taught us about them in so much detail. Claudette Colvin
My wife and I just prefer Seattle. It’s a beautiful city. Great setting. You open your front door in the morning and the air smells like pine and the sea, as opposed to bus exhaust. Ron Reagan

Growing up, I had only one good pair of shoes. So on rainy school days, my mom would slip plastic bread bags over them to keep them dry. But I was never embarrassed. Because the school bus would be filled with rows and rows of young Iowans with bread bags slipped over their feet. Joni Ernst

Teams need the opportunity to learn about each other’s capabilities and develop productive routines. So once we get the right people on the bus, let’s make sure they spend some time driving together. Adam Grant
The rules of suspense are that you do know, and you just don’t know when. In the Hitchcock rules of suspense, you are supposed to know that there is a bomb on the bus that might blow up, and then it becomes very tense – but if you don’t know that there’s a bomb and it just blows up, then it’s just a surprise. Gus Van Sant
Cultivate the habit of zest. Purposefully seek out the beauty in the seemingly trivial. Especially in the trivial. The colors and shapes of the foods you eat. The shadows a vase makes on your table. The interesting faces of the people on the bus with you. Karen Salmansohn

If Willie Nelson had been Rosa Parks, there never would have been a civil rights movement in this country, because he refuses to leave the back of the bus. Kinky Friedman
I cannot live a life where I’m deprived. I’d much rather be five, 10 pounds heavier. With my luck, I’ll get myself to that perfect goal weight, and I’ll get hit by a bus.

Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn’t the case at all. Claudette Colvin

I have always known my mother as an agnostic, less certain than my father that the universe hadn’t been created by some great intelligence.

I had a brief experience in the food industry. I was a bus boy in a Mexican restaurant in Arizona, scraping re-fried beans off people’s plates. It teaches you a bit of humility and the importance of a good deodorant. Wentworth Miller
I have watched every episode of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’… I know a bizarre amount of drag queens now. And it’s weird because one of the guys that drives my tour bus in America drove the drag queen show before me, and I used to just sit there and hear all the stories so I could go tell my girlfriend because I knew what a big fan she was. Jim Jefferies
I was in New York on September 11 when those planes hit the World Trade Center. At the time, it seemed like it was a local thing.

We became the United States of America. John Madden

The sad reality is that there are no purely domestic issues in Israel. Issues that would be dealt with by municipalities in other countries – such as how to deal with a dangerous bridge or how to resolve conflicts between religious and secular bus riders – become major international issues when they occur in Israel. Alan Dershowitz
I think any girl would throw me under a bus to be within five feet of Robert Pattinson. I actually think he’s an attractive guy. And I watched most of ‘Twilight,’ and I think he was really intriguing. Paul Wesley
