A Woman is home caring for her children! even if she can't. Trapped in this well-built trap, A Woman blames her mother for luring her into it, while ensuring that her own daughter never gets out; she recoils from the idea of sisterhood and doesn't believe women have friends, because it probably means something unnatural, and anyhow, A Woman is afraid of women. She's a male construct, and she's afraid women will deconstruct her. She's afraid of everything, because she can't change. Thighs forever thin and shining hair and shining teeth and she's my Mom, too, all seven percent of her. And she never grows old.

Does that mean we love our children less than our mothers loved us? No, but it certainly causes a lot of guilt trips.

Jane Pauley

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.

Conrad Hall

We do not sit as a superlegislature to weigh the wisdom of legislation.
