I am up at 3:30, reading the op-ed pages and getting ready to be on the air by 6 A.M. on the set of 'Morning Joe,' and after three hours of TV and two hours on the radio, it is only 12 noon.

We all need ways to express ourselves, and poetry is one of mine.

Jack Prelutsky

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.

Isaac Asimov

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The idea of redemption is always good news, even if it means sacrifice or some difficult times.

Patti Smith

Prudence is but experience, which equal time, equally bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply themselves unto.

Thomas Hobbes

Eure Kinder sind nicht eure Kinder. - Sie sind die Söhne und Töchter der Sehnsucht des Lebens nach sich selber.

Kahlil Gibran

One man's blasphemy doesn't override other people's free-speech rights, their freedom to publish, freedom of thought.

Dan Savage

William H. Hunt

Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.

Herman Hesse

The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock, he must leave his family.

Gustave Flaubert

Smiles are the language of love.

David Hare

Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
