Meg CabotWhen I was in high school if you were black and lived in Detroit, and you wanted to drive down to Florida to go on vacation, you had to plan to drive all the way through, because you couldn't stop in a hotel all the way through South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. We can't even fathom such a thing now, can we?

They look over at the Drive-By Media and they see the Drive-By Media totally fronting and carrying the water for the Democrats, and they think you used to be on their side. But now you don't carry their water anymore, and that's why they're throwing down on you," and I guess that makes sense. I hadn't considered that as a possibility.

James CromwellThere are three things you need to do as a CEO-founder. Think strategically, drive design, and drive technology. Some people who are really good at one can build a pretty foundational company. Most people who are very successful are good at two.

Janet JacksonBut if we keep denying that there are problems with some male immigrants, then we will just drive the people into the arms of the right-wing populists.

Alice SchwarzerWhat keeps you going isn't some fine destination but just the road you're on, and the fact that you know how to drive.

Barbara KingsolverAll my favorite artists are downtempo - Portishead, Burial, a lot of 1990s trip-hop. Some people are saying that I'm trying to help with the trip-hop revival that's possibly going on, but I'm not aware of other artists that are necessarily doing that. But if they are, that's fantastic. It's a great medium of electronic music. There's a lot of emotion - it's good for soundtracking a late-night drive.

I had to push back away from her for a while before we could come up to that really lyrical close third in the final section.

William MapotherWhen I look out [the window] at the big houses on either side of the road, it's obvious we've entered the rich side of town. Poor people don't post signs like NO TRESPASSING, PRIVATE DRIVE, PRIVATE PROPERTY, MONITORED BY CAMERA SURVEILLANCE. I should know because I've been poor my entire life, and the only person I know who ever posted a sign like these is my friend...and he actually stole the sign off a rich guy's yard.
Simone ElkelesYou asked me if I believed in magic, and I said yes, and that's how. You just step out, start pulling your life out of the air. You make friends, you find work you really like doing, you find places. You find diners and Laundromats. You find beaches. You find a junk car and drive it for a month, then lave it beside the road. You find someone to fall in love with you. You make it all up as you go. Or, you know, maybe it makes you up.

Consumers have sent companies a clear signal that they do not want their purchasing habits to drive deforestation and companies are responding.

It can be done and this Declaration signals a real intention to accelerate action.

Vince StaplesIt's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
Noah BaumbachWhat can government do? They can listen to their own people.

You don't vote and go home and give them the keys to the car, he'll drive you right off a cliff. You have to help people to stay honest.
