Jordin Sparks
After doing 'Firefly' and moving on, I always wanted to be part of a series again. I love doing films, too, but there's just something special about being part of the team and feeling like you're actually a part of the family, and I always look to re-create that.

Many movies about people recovering, moving on, and redeeming themselves are really wonderful and inspiring.

Marjorie Liu
Grief is never something you get over. You don't wake up one morning and say, 'I've conquered that; now I'm moving on.' It's something that walks beside you every day.

Terri Irwin
The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy.

David Remnick
The Real is ever-present, like the screen on which the cinematographic pictures move. While the picture appears on it, the screen remains invisible.

Greta Gerwig
Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.

Meghan Daum
My breakthrough was when I began to write during my commute, at first taking notes on my Palm Pilot, and then moving on to writing full prose on the tiny QWERTY keyboard of my iPaq smartphone.

Marvin Minsky

John Petrucci
