By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may get to be a boss and work twelve hours a day.

We'll have a public power authority, which will also have the ability to build power or finance power. And more importantly, we'll have more power than our economy provides. All of that will give us leverage we don't have today.

Gray Davis

God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back.

Gloria Steinem

Beauty isn't made of sugar.

Diana Wynne Jones

All my life I believed I knew something. But then one strange day came when I realized that I knew nothing; yes, I knew nothing. And so words became void of meaning. I have arrived too late at ultimate uncertainty.

Ezra Pound

At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear... when he will no longer have the assistance of reason as guaranteed by God, or when he will no longer have the assistance of God such as reason guaranteed. It is necessary to recoil, but it is necessary to leap, and perhaps one only recoils in order to leap better.

Georges Bataille

It is a pleasure to give advice, humiliating to need it, normal to ignore it.

Red Sox fans have been pushed to the brink over the years, but that's how faith grows stronger.

Julianna Baggott

The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.

E. L. Doctorow

Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.

Vaclav Havel

I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.

Toni Collette

Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.

Friedrich Von Schlegel

Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.

Mahatma Gandhi
