"Everyone dies. I just choose the time and place for some of them!"

-- Gaston Leroux

“...in the eyes of her oldest friends and colleagues and extended family, she wasn't a painfully thin seventy-five-year-old gray haired woman dying of cancer- she was a grade school class president, the young friend you gossiped with, a date or double date, someone to share a tent with in Darfur, a fellow election monitor in Bosnia, a mentor, a teacher you'd laughed within a classroom or a faculty lounge, or the board member you'd groaned with after a contentious meeting”
“When you get honest with God, you can exchange the fig leaves you used to cover your sin with the righteousness of Jesus Christ.”
“I believe in the institution of marriage, and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.”
“To walk behind others on a road you are traveling together, to give precedence to others without envy - this is painful for an individual and painful for a nation.”
“Around 1980, I went back to painting with a vengeance.”
“Fans will come if you have a good product.”
“A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.”
“Conservatism is not the problem. Conservatism is the founding of this country, essentially. Conservatism isn't even really an ideology. Conservatism is just what is right, proper, decent, and moral. That's all it is.”
