Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today.

Bob Woodward

I'd like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.

Dee Dee Ramone

It seems to me I spent my life in car pools, but you know, that's how I kept track of what was going on.

Barbara Bush

It's a very small and select slice of all the people who have ever been born. I believe we've come back during this time, those of us who are here now, specifically to experience it. And to cause a 'quickening of the spirit.'

Neale Donald Walsch
