Joe Manganiello
“turning a goal into an action and, inevitably, into a success.”
Joe Manganiello, Evolution: The Cutting Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You've Always Wanted

Ruth Goodman
“Right next door to the bear gardens on the south bank of the Thames in the last years of Elizabeth's reign sat the main theatres of the day. Permanent theatres were brand sparking new, the very first not appearing until 1576. Throughout the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I, theatre had been a mobile activity, and a largely amateur one.”
Ruth Goodman, How To Be a Tudor: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Tudor Life

“I think the human race is pretty rotten. The more I see of it, the more rotten it becomes”
Jane Carter Woodrow, Rose West: The Making of a Monster

“There is a power within and without. If you ask, it answers. It's just a matter of being calm and wise and listening. It takes years.”
John Altman, In the Nick of Time - The Autobiography of John Altman, EastEnders' Nick Cotton

Ruth Goodman
“sealing the pores were undertaken, famously with a horse. The poor animal was carefully varnished all over with several layers of shellac (the same solution that is used to varnish furniture) to ensure a complete seal, and died within hours. It was assumed that it had asphyxiated, thus ‘proving’ that the skin played an important role in respiration as well as perspiration.”
Ruth Goodman, How to Be a Victorian: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Victorian Life
