"I refused to march because George Bush marched."

--

Diane Nash

“If you do something and it saves your life, it was good taijutsu. In a real fight, you aren't worried about what's pretty.”
“I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.”
“Dogs are like their owners. If you get an uptight owner, you have an uptight dog. If you have an assertive owner, half drunk who thinks he owns the whole track, the dog will be the same. If you see that kind of person, he doesn't own a miniature Poodle.”
“I know a lot of funny people in a lot of funny places.”
“No matter how painful something is, you have to take it. I saw that in both my parents.”
“The way to innocence, to the uncreated and to God leads on, not back, not back to the wolf or to the child, but ever further into sin, ever deeper into human life.”
“A friend is, as it were, a second self.”
“They all looked like a shampoo commercial, healthy and clear-skinned, perfectly proportioned, a group of handsome young men. Their clothes hung on them like they were glad to be gracing such supermodels.”
