Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My parents had an arranged marriage, as did so many other people when I was growing up. My father came and had a life in the United States one way and my mother had a different one, and I was very aware of those things. I continue to wonder about it, and I will continue to write about it.

There's more of yourself in a book than a play. that's why we know all about Dickens and not much about Shakespeare. Ben Jonson murdered people; Marlowe was a spy; Shakespeare just sat in the corner and took notes.

Sir John Mortimer

If truth is the first victim of war, then read on - I've got some great lies for you this month.
