"But in my arms she was always Lolita."

-- Vladimir Nabokov

“It is particularly challenging looking how I look, but I think of my beautiful, swirled-up babies and I think, "You know what? I will be an example for you." I believe you can set the tone for any room or any conversation by being the first one to lead with love.”
“I am happy to receive any items of jewelry.”
“There's positive attention and there's negative attention - negative attention is easy, positive attention requires actual hard work.”
“Our Business here is not to know all things, but those which concern our conduct.”
“Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.”
“Many books condemn 'secular' culture, just as many books advocate (consciously or unconsciously) accommodating ourselves to culture. Brett has written something much different: a biblically informed and culturally savvy approach to consuming culture in a God-honoring, community-building, and mission-advancing way.”
“Resignations are for Prime Ministers and those caught with their trousers down, not for me.”
“If one day I have a daughter and my daughter wants to be a model, I would never let her! But then, if she wants to, what can I do? But definitely not until she's 18 years old. You know, every work has the bad side, and people will be mean to you, and when you're young, you don't know how to defend yourself.”
