"One can never outlive one's vanity."

-- Mary Wortley Montagu

“The politics of that year [2004] are old now, but the problem remains the same, the real culture clash of American life. It's between the essence of fundamentalism - paternalism, authority, and charity - and the messy imperatives of democracy, "the din of the vox populi" once derided by Abram Vereide. It's the difference between false unity, preached from above, and real solidarity, pledged between brothers and sisters - the kinds who are always bickering.”
“The EU is not a country and it's not going to become a country, in my view, now or ever in the future. It is a group of countries working together.”
“The best kisses in the world take place at night, in the ocean, with two naked bodies coiled around one another, only the stars to keep them company.”
“You gain your point if your industrious art can make unusual words easy.”
“You shouldn't rely on others to help you determine what's good and what's bad. In no time at all, you'll simply be under someone else's control.”
“You must dismantle your sources, lest you do nothing but ape the prejudices of others”
“We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.”
“I believe that those who believe in the power of human rights must find new ways to address economic injustice - and on a scale commensurate with the millions of people around the world that are mired in poverty.”
