The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don't acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.

The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is what should be. Now, if you're taught to live up to a what should be that never existed -- only an occult superstition, no proof of this should be -- then you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!

Lenny Bruce

Brevity and conciseness are the parents of correction.

Hosea Ballou

My mom, the fabulous Bertie Kinsey, is an amazing seamstress. She quilts and sews and is so crafty. We call her the Southern Martha Stewart!

Angela Kinsey

Any serious shift towards more sustainable societies has to include gender equality.

Helen Clark

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

Anne Lamott

She represents the un-vowed aspiration of the male human being, his potential infidelity -- and infidelity of a very special kind, which would lead him to the opposite of his wife, to the woman of wax whom he could model at will, make and unmake in any way he wished, even unto death.

Marguerite Duras

Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.

Doug Larson

Never deprive someone of hope it might be all they have.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.

William Ellery Channing

My passion is doing movies, so as long as I keep doing that I will be happy.

Vanessa Hudgens

We really love all sports, but we don't think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.

Peter Farrelly

Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion.
