If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.

The real killers in the business world aren't the ones who aim for the top, it's the ones who aim for two notches below the top.

Doug Coupland

But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.

William Tecumseh Sherman

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.

Blaise Pascal

Big-government proponents embrace both the power of the federal government and the idea that millions of Americans ought to be dependent on its largesse. It's time to return to our Founders' love for small government. More is not always better.

Gary Bauer

I can't be a hypocrite as a coach because as a player that's what I wanted. I wanted feedback, I wanted communication from the boss. I showed up for work, you can yell at me if you want, but I want input. So that's the kind of coach I want to be.

Adam Oates

The main business of religions is to purify, control, and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality.

Alexis de Tocqueville

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness.

Allen Ginsberg, Howl

Early-twentieth-century abstraction is art's version of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It's the idea that changed everything everywhere: quickly, decisively, for good.

Jerry Saltz

No one worth possessing can be quite possessed.

Sara Teasdale

The troubles of the young are soon over; they leave no external mark. If you wound the tree in its youth the bark will quickly cover the gash; but when the tree is very old, peeling the bark off, and looking carefully, you will see the scar there still. All that is buried is not dead.

Olive Schreiner

The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human.

Victor Hugo

I have always been on the side of the heretics, against those who burned them, because the heretics so often turned out to be right....Dead, but right.

Edward R. Murrow
