"People don't slip. Time catches up with them."

-- Nat King Cole

“An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.”
“It is important for women to know who they are, and to know what makes their hearts sing.”
“If you took away everything in the world that had to be invented, there'd be nothing left except a lot of people getting rained on.”
“Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.”
“This is a time for a national conversation. A conversation about the document that binds us as a nation and a people. That document, of course, is the Constitution.”
“Stage charm guarantees in advance an actor's hold on the audience, it helps him to carry over to large numbers of people his creative purposes. It enhances his roles and his art. Yet it is of utmost importance that he use this precious gift with prudence, wisdom, and modesty. It is a great shame when he does not realize this and goes on to exploit, to play on his ability to charm.”
“My Grandmother standing wordless fifteen minutes Between rows of loganberries, clippers poised in her hand.”
“You must never call your enemy by a name you choose for him." â€œInstead you must call him by the name he calls himself. What he chooses will reflect his pride; it will reveal his desires. But what you choose to call him will reveal your fears, which should be kept to yourself, lest your enemy find the way to exploit them.”
