"Hurry always empties a soul."

-- Ann Voskamp

“Each time I write, each time the authentic words break through, I am changed. The older order that I was collapses and dies. I lose control. I do not know exactly what words will appear on the page. I follow language. I follow the sound of the words, and I am surprised and transformed by what I record.”

“I think it doesn't matter what color you are. Everybody is getting the - getting the stick, and I'm sure Trump feels the same way.”
“And that's when you learned, your top fund-raiser was a murder suspect.”
“I'm really more prolific than most stand-ups. My act changes. I do fold in new experiences, new observations, whatever you want to call it.”
“You cannot be a conscious Christian without St. Paul. He translated the teachings of Christ into a doctrinal structure that, even with the additions of a vast number of thinkers, theologians and pastors, has resisted and still exists after two thousand years.”
“Science is being daily more and more personified and anthromorphized into a god. By and by they will say that science took our nature upon him, and sent down his only begotten son, Charles Darwin, or Huxley, into the world so that those who believe in him, &c.; and they will burn people for saying that science, after all, is only an expression for our ignorance of our own ignorance.”
“In Ronald Reagans case, he always bore with him this extraordinary ability to radiate confidence, optimism, clarity, a blitheness of spirit, in what other people saw as chaos. And after the 1970s, that was catnip.”
“I've been a jerk on the internet since the internet started.”
