I was a mimic when I was a child. I mimicked the teacher and made friends that way, actually. That was a very subversive activity, because I was a goody-goody who never got in trouble. But if I went off in the corner and mimicked the teacher, people loved it.

It's fun being a kid.

Or sometimes you just aren't the right person.Thanks for nothing, Shakespeare.

Neil Gaiman

This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.

John Podhoretz

There is no longer any such thing as fiction or nonfiction; there's only narrative.

E. L. Doctorow
