Jandy NelsonHis masterโs pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself.

The house Negro was in the minority. The massesโthe field Negroes were the masses. They were in the majority. When the master got sick, they prayed that heโd die. If his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.

Bill MaherHe says, you have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you canโt make up an empty mind. Stock your mind, stock your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it.

Vernon got Monica [Lewinsky] a gig somewhere out of the White House, got her an offer for a gig somewhere.

Dorothy DraperGod is still in the business of coming down to earth: to this cubicle, this email, this room, this house, this job, this hospital room, this car, this bed, this vacation.

And I'm not sure exactly what that is, but our friend, Walter Dellinger, has a theory about it, and I think he's probably right. And the theory starts with the fact that I worked in the White House for a year and a half before coming over to the position of SG. And because of that, when I was nominated, there was some chatter out there that, "Oh. They're putting a political hack in. This has never happened before."

We just don't have a house to put it in."

Amy PoehlerBob Saget was known, in the comedy clubs in those days, as extremely funny but with dark humor. It was always an inside joke among comics, when he got Full House, it was, like, wow, hes playing this all-American dad kind of thing. That was not Bob Saget. His comedic style is definitely more twisted, and he has an edgier side than he showed in Full House.

Delphine ArnaultWhen you get to a certain level of recognizability, celebrity, you can't go out of the house without someone going, "Can I just have one photo?"

Jack BlackLet the grass die. I let almost all of my indoor plants die from neglect while I was writing the book. There are all kinds of ways to live. You can take your choice.
