I think that if we get back to some basic fundamental principles, we can make sure that we resolve the issues. And I think that that's what the Tea Party was all about. It's getting back to a constitutional conservative government. And that is limited, but it's also effective and efficient. I think that that's what we'll be able to do.

The delicate and infirm go for sympathy, not to the well and buoyant, but to those who have suffered like themselves.

Catharine Esther Beecher

A short story is a writer's way of thinking through experience... Journalism aims at accuracy, but fiction's aim is truth. The writer distorts reality in the interest of a larger truth.

John L'Heureux

The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: Is this all?

Betty Friedan

I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth and then I can fly free.

Andrew Wyeth

On the Day of Atonement, Jews are commanded to seek forgiveness from the people we have hurt.

Laura Schlessinger

Maybe she just wanted to be the one to decide when things happened between them. Then again, what women didn't want to decide that?

Orson Scott Card

I'd always thought the Rats were good fun, but one of the very nice things about being of Saga age is that I can actually look back and think, When I was younger I was in a great band. It was always a collective thing.

Bob Geldof

What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.

Oprah Winfrey

People ask me how I keep my figure, and I tell them it's because I paint. When you're covered in paint, it's quite hard to put food in your mouth!

Jane Seymour

Nevertheless, there is another threat on the horizon. I see this threat in environmentalism which is becoming a new dominant ideology, if not a religion. Its main weapon is raising the alarm and predicting the human life endangering climate change based on man-made global warming.

Vaclav Klaus

There's something about a holiday that isn't all about how much money you spend.

Hilarie Burton

People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness.
