Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day!
If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes'; They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.'
It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.
Live people ignore the strange and unusual. I myself, am strange and unusual.
I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.
I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?
Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.

Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.

Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid...He is the hero, he is everything.
