Sir Terry Pratchett - he was knighted in 2009, and on him it looked earned rather than entitled - wrote about dragons, wizards, turtles, witches, time-travelling monks, and suitcases with legs.

Sir Walter, with his 61 years of life, although he never wrote a novel until he was over 40, had, fortunately for the world, a longer working career than most of his brethren.
‐‐ Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Wiggo sounds nice.
‐‐ Bradley Wiggins
Siren voices tell me, 'You don't have to keep going on.' And then you think, 'I'm a writer. What do I do? Sit there watching my wife clean up?' I don't know. I like being a writer.
‐‐ Terry Pratchett
SiriusXM has had my back ever since day one when I was making remixes in my dorm room at university, and it means a lot that they're supporting my music as I prepare to release my debut album, 'Cloud Nine.'

Sirk was every woman's dream of a director.
‐‐ Dorothy Malone
SIS, the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, also has no executive powers and operates abroad on CIA lines, but with a tiny percentage of the budget and a tiny percentage of the personnel.
‐‐ John le Carre
'Sister Act' was my first audition out of school. I was 21 and cast as the understudy. It was non-Equity, so I lived in L.A. on $300 a week. I did that for a month and then came to New York to do a couple of gigs, including 'Hair' in the park, before going to London with 'Sister Act,' where I played the lead.

Sister Hinckley and I are learning that the so-called golden years are laced with lead.
‐‐ Gordon B. Hinckley
Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
‐‐ Margaret Mead
Sister Virginia used to say, 'You'll be known by the company you keep.'
‐‐ Michael Scheuer
Sisterhood is important to me.
‐‐ Cheryl Cole
Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone.
‐‐ Phyllis McGinley
Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!
‐‐ Emily Dickinson
Sisters have ways of socializing brothers into the mysteries of girls. Brothers have ways of socializing sisters into the puzzle that is boys.
‐‐ Jeffrey Kluger
Sisters, if you got a good man, honor him.
‐‐ Mo'Nique
Sisters in Crime now has more than 4,000 members worldwide.
‐‐ Sara Paretsky
Sisters, some will try to persuade you that because you are not ordained to the priesthood, you have been shortchanged. They are simply wrong, and they do not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.
‐‐ Sheri L. Dew
Sisters, we as women are not diminished by priesthood power - we are magnified by it. I know this is true, for I have experienced it again and again.
‐‐ Sheri L. Dew
Sisters, when about their work, should not put on clothing which would make them look like images to frighten the crows from the corn. It is more gratifying to their husbands and children to see them in a becoming, well-fitting, attire, than it can be to merely visitors or strangers.
‐‐ Ellen G. White
Sisyphus, you know, had an easy life.
‐‐ Miriam Defensor-Santiago
Sit down and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.
‐‐ Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.
‐‐ Mary Harris Jones
Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.
‐‐ Thomas Huxley
Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.
‐‐ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Sit-ups and push-ups work without a gym.
‐‐ John Varvatos
Sitcom food is by far the tastiest of all showbiz food.
‐‐ Ken Jeong
Sitcom hours are silly easy compared to drama. Whenever an actor on a sitcom complains, I feel like smacking them!
‐‐ Tricia Helfer
Sitcom storylines are usually incredibly contrived.
‐‐ Josh Thomas
Sitcoms always made the most sense to me. I grew up watching them every day with my dad. Every Monday, Tuesday night, we would be sitting in front of the television watching any kind of sitcom. I connect with that more, but I love to do whatever kind of role.
‐‐ Hayley Orrantia
Sitcoms are designed for normal people who just want to turn on their TV and get a laugh. It's not high-brow, you don't have to work so hard, and it's meant to be a relatable genre. That's why I love it so much - my fans are from 8 years old to 80 years old, because everybody can relate to what's funny.
‐‐ Megyn Price
Sitcoms are incredibly limiting. When you do a sitcom and it becomes a signature part for you, it's harder to do something else; but if you do a drama, you can get lost in it and have a role to do other things.
‐‐ Aunjanue Ellis
Sitcoms are like summer stock. You put it up in three days, and then you do it in front of an audience, so it's a really great transition from theatre into camera work.
‐‐ Susan Egan
Sitcoms are making a comeback, but you've got to have a little quirkiness in there now.
‐‐ Jackee Harry
Sitcoms are more like stage drama than anything else on film - more than a one-hour and certainly more than a movie. You get a script on Monday. You rehearse all week. And on Friday, you're on.
‐‐ Thomas Gibson
Sitcoms are usually given short shrift by the acting profession, but it's quite an amazing job.
‐‐ Lea Thompson
Sitcoms are what got me excited about show business.
‐‐ Jen Kirkman
Sitcoms, I always figured that would be an easy gig, but man, it is not.
‐‐ Blake Shelton
Sites like Funny or Die and College Humor are great, but I'd say it's appealing to 80% men and 20% women.
‐‐ Zooey Deschanel
Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.
‐‐ Tim Berners-Lee
Sitting around and waiting for your muse is not the best choice.
‐‐ Kristin Hannah
Sitting around on the couch eating Pringles all day is not going to help anyone.
‐‐ Jennie Garth
Sitting around our kitchen table from a very early age on, we talked politics, and we talked policy. Never once can I ever remember my dad saying, 'Go away, this is an adult conversation.'
‐‐ Cheri Bustos
Sitting around the house playing the wife and mother is driving me crazy.
‐‐ Patsy Cline
Sitting at a candidate rally is similar to sitting in a ballyard. Both give you the opportunity to assess the technical metrics and reflect on the intangibles - what baseball calls 'make up' and politics calls 'character' - the leadership, talent and maturity to add value to a venture.
‐‐ Christine Pelosi
Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.
‐‐ Bud Abbott
Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner. You must be eating some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American.
‐‐ Malcolm X
Sitting behind the bench at games is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because basketball is really most of my happiness. So when I can't go out there and exert energy and have fun and things like that, it kind of puts everything else into perspective.
‐‐ Chris Webber
Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it'd be quite hard to live with - so I need to keep racing.
