-- Ogden Nash

“Class certainly loomed large in Katrina's aftermath. Blacks of means escaped the tragedy; blacks without them suffered and died. In reality, it is how race and class interact that made the situation for the poor so horrible on the Gulf Coast. The rigid caste system that punishes poor blacks and other minorities also targets poor whites.”
“If you want to become humble, the first thing you have to admit is that you are proud.”
“I think it's more important to be fit so that you can be healthy and enjoy activities than it is to have a good body.”
“O Lord God, we pray that we may be inspired to nobleness of life in the least things. May we dignify all our daily life. May we set such a sacredness upon every part of our life, that nothing shall be trivial, nothing unimportant, and nothing dull, in the daily round.”
“I'm not for raising taxes on anyone - period.”
“What you want, when you want it. As opposed to everything you could ever want, even when you don't.”
“I've always had a soft spot for comic books. I learned to read from them. The words in them were so interesting.”
“I have never had my face lifted. I prefer to have my spirits lifted. In my opinion, the effect is very nearly the same.”
