Henry HazlittPeople are sometimes having trouble deciphering what is true, and what is journalism with integrity, and what is not. It is incumbent upon us to, if anything, explain our process, and make sure that people understand the lengths that we go to bring objective truth-telling to the air, and to bring a wide variety of perspectives and the choices we make in how we cover the news. I think we could do a little bit of a better job doing that.

Mitch HedbergWhen coming up with Wonder Woman cover designs, sometimes people will pitch ideas to me, either the writer or the editor.

And it's something I immediately push back against.

Marvin OlaskyIt was the Almighty who decreed that men and women must cover their nakedness by wearing proper and modest clothing. No amount of rationalizing can change God's laws.

Tracey UllmanAt their best, religious and spiritual communities help us discover this pure and naked spiritual encounter.

Brian D. McLarenRationalization is a cover-up, a process of providing one's emotions with a false identity, of giving them spurious explanations and justifications - in order to hide one's motives, not just from others, but primarily from oneself. The price of rationalizing is the hampering, the distortion, and, ultimately, the destruction of one's cognitive faculty. Rationalization is a process not of perceiving reality, but of attempting to make reality fit one's emotions.

For with all our care and pain for those who had gone, it was ourselves too we felt the agony for. Perhaps ourselves above all.

Bill MaherIf you trace the history of Islamist terrorism, you see that its founders were great admirers of European fascism.
