Ethel MermanYou want to know about a certain period and what happened?-You go into this building and all of a sudden you are transported! You're not just shown pictures, not even 3-D pictures, not even movies, but suddenly you are transported live by a time machine to that very time, that very age and you see it happen, you watch it happen, you hear it happen, you feel it happen! Think of it! Not only the movies but the 'feelies'! You are there!
David BergExpectations are usually predicated on the idea that the everyday things that happen to ordinary people shouldn't happen to you.

Ted KoppelIf something's going to happen for you, it will, you can't make it happen. And it never does happen until you're past the point where you care whether it happens or not.

Marianne WilliamsonYou have to go back to the 1920s, almost a hundred years, to find the Democrat Party as weak and out of power as it is today. How did that happen with just one election?

C. S. LewisNight terrors are very different from nightmares. A lot of people will think they're the same, but they're really not.

It's not going to hurt our movement. Our movement will go on. And it's important that we not let the bully pulpit of the FBI and the other oppression agencies stop us from what we're doing. They are the violent ones. They are the terrorists ... we have to keep doing what we're doing.

Anne RiceSouth Africa used to seem so far away. Then it came home to me. It began to signify the meaning of white hatred here. That was what the sheets and the suits and the ties covered up, not very well. That was what the cowardly guys calling me names from their speeding truck wanted to happen to me, to all of me: to my people. That was what would happen to me if I walked around the corner into the wrong neighborhood. That was Birmingham. That was Brooklyn. That was Reagan. That was the end of reason. South Africa was how I came to understand that I am not against war; I am against losing the war.
June JordanThe political class can't imagine a decentralized world where good things happen...without them. But in the real world, that's exactly how good things happen, and how jobs are created.

Jonathan HaidtThere are those who believe that the value of a children's book can be measured only in terms of the moral lessons it tries to impose or the perfect role models it offers.

Ray HenaultI'm pretty instinctual when I write, and I really like to get to a point where I'm writing where I don't know what's going to happen next.
