"Pass the bill to find out what's in it"

-- Nancy Pelosi

“I enjoy performing, always, but when you're taping a gig, you've got to blank out this mass apparatus of self-consciousness that's surrounding you, this invitation to drown in self-consciousness. Otherwise you just won't be able to do anything.”
“No self-respecting mother would run out of intimidations on the eve of a major holiday.”
“When the rare chance comes, seize it To do the rare deed.”
“The American flag represents all of us and all the values we hold sacred.”
“Everybody takes what they life from the teachings of the church, and ignores the parts that don't suit them.”
“And the second question, can poetry be taught? I didn't think so.”
“There was an Israeli artist who was in grad school with me. I remember trying to get to know him on a more personal level. He had moved to the Fairfax area, not realizing that it's a super Jewish part of L.A. He told me, I don't understand why American Jews feel this connection with me. I was embarrassed because I was feeling that connection with him, too!”
“Realise this: one day your soul will depart from your body and you will be drawn behind the curtain that floats between us and the unknown. While you wait for that moment, be happy, because you don't know where you came from and you don't know where you will be going.”
