Being nice to governments doesn't work, they are such lying bastards.

Winning doesn't satisfy us -- we need to do it again, and again. The taste of success seems merely to whet the appetite for more. When we lose, the compulsion to seek future success is overpowering; the need to get out on the course the following weekend is irresistible. We cannot quit when we are ahead, after we've won, and we certainly cannot quit when we're behind, after we've lost. We are addicted.

It's a wonderful thing to be optimistic. It keeps you healthy and it keeps you resilient.

Daniel Kahneman

If you don't like the President, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don't like the Governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don't like me, 90 cents.

Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.

Ronald Reagan

Beauty is harsh.

Cassandra Clare

Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.

All sects are different, because they come from men morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.

Voltaire

The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger-print of reality upon the beautiful.

Nadine Gordimer

Women didn't want to watch other women on television because they were jealous of their husbands' diverted attention.

Jessica Savitch

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
