I think Griezmann has all the quality to overcome Thierry Henry, as Mbappe has too.
I’ve been religiously reading the O. Henry Prize anthologies every year since college, when I first began trying to write stories. Many of the authors whose work I cherish the most were people I first learned about through The O. Henry Prize Stories – and then I’d go search for their books.
George Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower all rode their wartime heroics into the White House.
For almost every novel I’ve written, I’ve read the daily newspaper of the time almost as if it were my current subscription. For ‘Two Moons,’ which was set in 1877, I think I read just about every day of the ‘Washington Evening Star’ for that year. For ‘Henry and Clara,’ I read the ‘Albany Evening Journal’ of the time.
Arsenal are a special club for many French supporters. I watched them a lot, especially during the ‘Invincible’ era when they had Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Sylvain Wiltord, and Robert Pires.
We’ve always loved the automobile, and we all love Henry Ford’s original vision to open the highways to all mankind, the freedom and movement.
I like a composer called Henry Purcell, and I love to listen to Neil Young.
There isn’t a King Lear for women, or a Henry V, or a Richard III. You reach a level where you can handle that stuff technically and mentally, and it’s not there.
I did projects on Champlain coming up the St. Lawrence River and on Henry Hudson cast adrift in the bay that now bears his name. And I read dozens of historical novels: Rosemary Sutcliff on Roman Britain and G. A. Henty on British heroes, though my all-time favourite was Ronald Welch’s ‘Knight Crusader.’
I always seemed to disappoint them. They expected me to be different than Henry or exactly like Henry. I was neither.
In 2009, I edited, under the aegis of the Library of America, an anthology called ‘Becoming Americans: Immigrants Tell Their Stories from Jamestown to Today.’ It featured immigrants from different backgrounds, from black slaves like Phillis Wheatley to Yiddish-language speakers like Henry Roth.
I don’t want to be defined as the Asian leading man. I want to be the leading man. Henry Golding.
The Big Show and Mark Henry and even John Cena helped me along my journey.
Thierry Henry, without a doubt – he’s an absolute legend.
Men of Virginia, countrymen of Washington, of Patrick Henry, of Jefferson, and of Madison, will ye be true to your constitutional faith?
If you look at my personal library, you will notice that it ranges from Henry James to Steig Larsson, from Margaret Atwood to Max Hastings. There’s Jane Austen and Tom Perrotta and volumes of letters from Civil War privates. It’s pretty eclectic.
I enjoyed dancing with the Hardy Boyz back in the day. We did a lot of stuff at the house shows, dancing with Eddy Guerrero, and I think I had Mark Henry dancing as well. Kurt Angle danced. There were a lot of people who enjoyed that part of the magic of Rikishi and Too Cool.
I’ve never managed to get very far with Henry James.
I love long sentences. My big heroes of fiction writing are Henry James and Proust – people who recognise that life doesn’t consist of declarative statements, but rather modifications, qualifications and feelings.
I grew up watching Arsenal. You don’t think you’re going to get to play with Thierry Henry. Him breaking my dad’s record and now he assists half my goals, it’s weird. How’d that happen?
Political satire became obsolete when they awarded Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize.
When guys like Mark Henry, Paul Heyman, and Booker T all come up to me and tell me how much they appreciate my work and give me feedback on what to do better and how to improve myself it’s honestly just scary.
The author O. Henry taught me about the value of the unexpected. He once wrote about the noise of flowers and the smell of birds – the birds were chickens and the flowers dried sunflowers rattling against a wall.
I get my highlights touched up with Susan Henry at Shades in Beverly Hills. She developed hypo-allergenic hair color products with no ammonia because she’s allergic to others; she’s an incredible colorist. She does balayage instead of the foils, and I’ll go and she will do my entire head of highlights in an hour.
Henry Kissinger spent years negotiating the terms of our surrender there and ended up with a deal that he could have gotten on the first day he went to work in the Nixon White House – the Americans leave and North Vietnam wins.
I am pretty sure when Kenneth Branagh came up for ‘Thor,’ nobody at Marvel thought, ‘Yes, that Kenneth Branagh is masculine enough to do action: just look at ‘Henry V’ and ‘The Magic Flute.”
Torture and cruelty are the words that come to mind when people think of the Tower. Here it was that the princes were murdered, Guy Fawkes racked and Henry VIII’s queens executed.
The greatest lesson I learned that year in Mrs. Henry’s class was the lesson Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to teach us all: Never judge people by the color of their skin. God makes each of us unique in ways that go much deeper.
I’ve worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.
I don’t think that experience is a very useful or convincing attribute for a sensible foreign policy. Henry Kissinger had a lot of experience.
I got accused of misrepresenting all people of colour in Great Britain. I would get told off a lot. ‘How can you do African characters when you’re not African?’ But I gave it a go. Maybe if there had been more of us I could have just been Lenny Henry from the Black Country with Jamaican parents.
When I looked further into my mother’s history, I realised that her anxieties and her neuroses could be accounted for by facts from a very early age. Her parents, William Henry Jones and Sarah Emily, were desperately poor.
The biggest start-up successes – from Henry Ford to Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg – were pioneered by people from solidly middle-class backgrounds. These founders were not wealthy when they began. They were hungry for success, but knew they had a solid support system to fall back on if they failed.
I know what kind of books I read on vacation, and it is not necessarily ‘Diplomacy’ by Henry Kissinger. No disrespect to that book; I have read that book. But not on spring break.
I try to keep each different book different from the last. So ‘Sag Harbor’ is very different from ‘Apex Hides the Hurt;’ ‘The Intuitionist,’ which is kind of a detective novel, is very different from ‘John Henry Days.’ I’m just trying to keep things rich for me creatively and for the readers who follow me.
Henry James and Edith Wharton are huge for me because they gave me a way to understand America while still respecting the European backgrounds of my relatives.
Mr. Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty.
I have always been an old-line Henry Clay Whig.
I did a TV show called ‘Lenny Henry Dot TV’ a couple of years ago and I hated it. These things always happen when you don’t have time to reflect. And I didn’t do anything on the telly for three years.
Henry Blodget does occasionally have a new idea. If you’re making a point about aggregation or the emptiness of modern journalism, he’s far from the best target. Try Huffpo – or Gawker writers whose souls have been corroded by irony.
People talk about the history of Manchester United or Liverpool, but look what Arsenal achieved with the team of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.
The distinction between literary and genre fiction is stupid and pernicious. It dates back to a feud between Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. James won, and it split literature into two streams. But it’s a totally false dichotomy.
Happy Days, which we did for 11 years, we did with three cameras in front of a live audience. Very special. We had a party every Friday night. The boys, Ron, Henry, they grew up on that show.
I’m not like Henry Fonda. He lives to act. I’ve just had a dedication to do the best I could. When I don’t have challenges, the days get long. But I do enjoy being on stage. If I do good work, I get a kick out of that.
Who doesn’t want play with Thierry Henry?
We basically ran the Henry Bellmon campaign.
I was in a Bible study, Henry Blackaby’s ‘Experiencing God,’ and I started to experience God as I was reading the pages of this workbook and studying scripture with some friends, and we all just searching to fill that void in our lives.
Quite naturally, the men who led in stirring up the revolt against Great Britain and in keeping the fighting temper of the Revolutionists at the proper heat were the boldest and most radical thinkers – men like Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson.
Colonel Parker asked Henry and me to come to Elvis’ suite and have breakfast. There were at least five policemen stationed up there. He was talking on the telephone.
My father and my uncle used to be amateur monologuists because their generation grew up with Henry Irving and the like, and they had that style of delivery, of declamation: ‘The Belllllls!’ What we call ‘ham’ now, larger than life.
If all Henry Kissinger contributed to the Middle East were a regional arms race, petrodollar addiction, Iranian radicalization, and the Tehran-Riyadh conflict, it would be bad enough. His legacy, however, is far worse than that: He has to answer for his role in the rise of political Islam.
