John Green

Credit or debit cards, for starters, are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain.

Jeffrey Kluger

Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.

Lauren Bacall

The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.

Paul Tillich

If you can't get people to listen to you any other way, tell them it's confidential.

Proverb

For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d.

Meir Kahane

England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.

Daniel Radcliffe

Liberals subscribe to the new flexible, pluralistic definition of the family their defense of families carries no conviction.

Christopher Lasch

To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a home might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.

Emily Post

The only thing worse than having a party that no one attends is having a party attended only by two vastly, deeply uninteresting people.

John Green

Money often costs too much.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
