In that second it dawned on me that I had been living here for eight years with a strange man and had borne him three children.

Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.

Mike Krzyzewski

I doubt if you can have a truly wild party without liquor.

Carl Sandburg

I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.

John F. Kennedy

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

Brandy Norwood

Time's the thief of memory

Stephen King

The rate of interest acts as a link between income-value and capital-value

Irving Fisher

Since God is truth, a contempt for truth is equally a contempt for God.

Gordon H. Clark

I think, without question, that unemployment of more than 6 per cent is something to be concerned about. You don't push the panic button, but you don't relax and enjoy it either... I myself don't believe in a numbers game in which you give a maximum tolerable percentage, because I think, truly, it does vary with the times... I would hesitate to specify the figure today, but I will say this: it would be, in my mind, less than a 4 per cent figure - that is, for the period ahead. I would not, realistically, think we could hope for a 2 per cent figure in the near future, as certain European countries have been able to do. But I do think that if we are pretty zealous in this matter and insist upon getting low figures - say, 3.5 per cent - then our very success in accomplishing that may lead to a new epoch just beyond when we could hope to go below 3 per cent...

Paul A. Samuelson, (interview),

The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.

Francis Bacon

I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.

Oscar Wilde

Whose rights will we acknowledge? Whose human dignity will we respect? For whose well-being will we, as a people, assume responsibility?

Robert Casey

Never wear anything that panics the cat.
