So I have to create the whole thing afresh for myself each time. Probably all writers now are in the same boat. It is the penalty we pay for breaking with tradition, and the solitude makes the writing more exciting though the being read less so.

Virginia Woolf

Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It's impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.

Charles Stanley

William Shakespeare

If any organism fails to fulfill its potentialities, it becomes sick.

William James

I love being one half of a romantic couple.

More than illness or death, the American journalist fears standing alone against the whim of his owners or the prejudices of his audience. Deprive William Safire of the insignia of the New York Times, and he would have a hard time selling his truths to a weekly broadsheet in suburban Duluth.

Lewis H. Lapham

What's unnatural is homophobia. Homo sapiens is the only species in all of nature that responds with hate to homosexuality.

Alex Sanchez

John Ruskin

Big women do themselves a disservice when they attempt to become the Righteous Fat (the Righteous Thin are bad enough, all that running around and sweating, somehow believing it means anything).

Julie Burchill

I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.

George McGovern
