It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your 'portrayal' of women. Even when I started out on 'The Office' eight years ago, we could write our male characters funny and flawed, but not the women. And now, thankfully, it's completely different.

Perfect is a dream that you wake up from and spend forever trying to remember.

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

Eric Hoffer

From what we've heard about George W., he has a lot issues that he wants to run on. They're positive. They're good. He thinks he's got a good vision for America.

Barbara Olson

It's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money.

W. C. Fields

Oscar Wilde

she might have been pretty when she started out, but the world had moved on since then.

Stephen King

Everybody liked better to conjecture how the thing was, than simply to know it; for conjecture soon became more confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the incompatible.

George Eliot

Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not.

Cher

We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.

Dwight D Eisenhower

The true measure of a real man is that he has the ability to admit when he is wrong, apologize, and make amends to those he wronged

Richard Ashworth

The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.
