Spiro T. Agnew

“Back when the Bible was written, then edited, then rewritten, then rewritten, then re-edited, then translated from dead languages, then re-translated, then edited, then rewritten, then given to kings for them to take their favorite parts, then rewritten, then re-rewritten, then translated again, then given to the pope for him to approve, then rewritten, then edited again, the re-re-re-re-rewritten again...all based on stories that were told orally 30 to 90 years AFTER they happened.. to people who didnt know how to write... so...”
“I don't like to play favorites, and I do try to spread the ball around. But there's an old rule: You throw to the guys who get open in practice.”
“Innovation happens when people are given the freedom to ask questions and the resources and power to find the answers.”
“This is a pivotal time for urban regeneration. We must take a long term view.”
“When experts say nuclear power generation is safe and doesn't cost much and this is the only way to go if we want to stop relying on coal, well, we believe them. But they've been lying to us for years. And the point is, we've never really known anything about nuclear power generation. We had little interest in it before 3/11, and we certainly had no idea how difficult it is to control nuclear energy.”
“I've discovered new parts of my manhood, places I couldn't get to without loving someone else unconditionally and putting others before myself.”
“It is in the interests of society to put the Pill into slot machines and to place cigarettes on prescription.”
“There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and "live" with the characters.”
