Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere.

C.S. Lewis

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

Yancy Butler

The most powerful entities on earth are not governments but the multi-national corporations that see women as their territory, indoctrinating them with their versions of beauty, health and hygiene, medicating them and cultivating their dependency in order to medicate them some more.

Germaine Greer

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.

Groucho Marx
