Dave BarryA baby was a fact. It was a being with a mind and a nature, and you could feel about it any way you liked, but a baby wouldn't care.

Carolyn HaxMusic is the one art we all have inside. We may not be able to play an instrument, but we can sing along or clap or tap our feet.

Conan O'BrienI love babies. I think they are beautiful in all sorts of different ways. I try to pick up and hold a baby every day, if possible, because it nourishes me. It feeds my soul. Babies are drawn to me. And I think it's because they see me as one of them. But ... cooler and with my life put together a little bit more. If a baby were president, there would be no taxes.

Kiernan ShipkaChristianity, righty understood, is utterly unlike religion that man invents. It is so completely contrary to the way man does things that it must have come from God.
