I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Mmmm... the comedy that matters is the comedy you pull out of thin air. It's a bit like when something funny has happened and you try to explain it to someone else and end up saying, 'You had to be there.'

No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.

Rabindranath Tagore

Eulogy. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power, or the consideration to be dead.

Ambrose Bierce

In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place.

Oscar Wilde

It has been my honor to support and work with President Barack Obama, a man who has brought courage and character to the presidency. President Obama's strength of character leads him to do the right thing, even when it isn't the easy thing.

Harry Reid

Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.

Iris Murdoch

Don't cling to fame. You're just borrowing it. It's like money. You're going to die, and somebody else is going to get it.

Sonny Bono

James Wolcott

I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture, everything connects.

Richard Powers

The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.

William Cowper

Reckless predictions of the second coming of Christ create an artificial excitement among believers followed by a corresponding depression. In addition, it hardens skeptics in their unbelief and provides new fodder for cynics to mock the Christian faith.

Doug Batchelor

I fly through memory to find a newborn love.
