I'm named after a horse. My mom's best friend had a horse named Brooke, so my dad suggested 'Brooklyn' as a more formal version, and it just stuck - and now I live in Brooklyn part-time, so go figure.

Eastward I go only by force; but westward I go free.

Henry David Thoreau

More than five million seniors have already saved money on their prescription drugs, and almost 33 million have benefited from free preventive services. The president cracked down hard on Medicare and health care fraud, recovering a record-breaking $10.7 billion over the last three years, protecting our seniors. That's what change looks like.

There's no one thing that is true. They're all true.

Ernest Hemingway

These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.

Virginia Woolf

Some guys travel with expensive Louis Vuitton luggage but it gets all scratched up under the plane. I'd rather not spend too much money on something that's just going to get messed up.

James Harden

The only thing I like about rich people is their money.

Nancy Astor

Christopher Dodd

Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence he is just using his memory.

Leonardo da Vinci

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.

Dale Carnegie

When I want your opinion I'll give it to you.

Laurence J. Peter

I have retired, but if there's anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.

Nelson Mandela

There is no virtue so truly great and godlike as Justice. Most of the other virtues are the virtues of created Beings, or accommodated to our nature as we are men. Justice is that which is practised by God himself, and to be practised in its perfection by none but him. Omniscience and Omnipotence are requisite for the full exertion of it. The one, to discover every degree of uprightness or iniquity in thoughts, words and actions. The other, to measure out and impart suitable rewards and punishments.As to be perfectly just is an attribute in the divine nature, to be so to the utmost of our abilities is the glory of a man. Such an one who has the publick administration in his hands, acts like the representative of his Maker, in recompencing the virtuous, and punishing the offender.

Joseph Addison, Guardian, No. 99
