Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare, for my Mom's generation, for my generation, and for my kids and yours.

Paul Ryan

I was raised in Chicago and I guess that was one of the special breeding grounds for gangsters of all colors. That was the Detroit of the gangster world. The car industry was thugs.

Quincy Jones

The thought came to me that perhaps it is the loving that counts, not the being loved in return - that perhaps true loving can never know anything but happiness.

Dodie Smith

Conservatives shouldn't count on the Supreme Court to do our work for us on Obamacare. The Court may rule as it should, and strike down the mandate. But it may not. And even if it does, the future of health care in America - and for that matter, the future of limited government - depends ultimately on the verdict of the American people.

Bill Kristol

Anybody can write a three-volume novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature.

Oscar Wilde

If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard.

Ernest Shackleton

It is education that will arm us with the tools that will enable us to succeed and put a stop to the rising rates of preventable death.

Christy Turlington

Friend, I am not suggesting at all. You see, I know now. Let us be frank. Our opinions were not honestly come by. We simply found ourselves in contact with a certain current of ideas and plunged into it because it seemed modern and successful. At College, you know, we just started automatically writing the kind of essays that got good marks and saying the kind of things that won applause. When, in our whole lives, did we honestly face, in solitude, the one question on which all turned: whether after all the Supernatural might not in fact occur? When did we put up one moment's real resistance to the loss of our faith?

C.S. Lewis

To get anywhere, or even live a long time, a man has to guess, and guess right, over and over again, without enough data for a logical answer.

Robert A. Heinlein

I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.

Sarah Sutton

The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his own way.

Josh Billings

Hatred is the madness of the heart.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
