Andrea Dworkin

You beat your Pate, and fancy Wit will come: Knock as you please, there's no body at home.

Bill Vaughan

I have three daughters, so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are, that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.
