We live in an imperfect world, and imperfect people surround us every day.

Parenting is the most important job on the planet next to keeping Gary Busey off the nation's highways.

Dennis Miller

I feel that we will continue to have a non-violent movement, and we will continue to find the vast majority of Negroes committed to non-violence, at least as the best tactical approach and from a pragmatic point of view as the best strategy in dealing with the problem of racial injustice. Realism impels me to admit, however, that when there is justice and the pursuit of justice, violence appears, and where there is injustice and frustration, the potentialities for violence are greater, and I would like to strongly stress the point that the more we can achieve victories through non-violence, the more it will be possible to keep the non-violent discipline at the center of the movement. But the more we find individuals facing conditions of frustration, conditions of disappointment and seething despair as a result of the slow pace of things and the failure to change conditions, the more it will be possible for the apostles of violence to interfere.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try.

Fran Lebowitz

Arnold Bennett, The Journals of

People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not.

Johann von Goethe

Let us all be happy, and live within our means, even if we have to borrow the money to do it with.

Artemus Ward

May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.

Vincent Cassel

A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit. A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.

Vaclav Havel

I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women's history.

Antonia Fraser

It's an ongoing joy being a dad.
