Tawni O'Dell
Each time a new disaster puts miners in the news, the press tries to make them into heroes, but they don't quite fit the bill. They don't march off to war or rush into burning buildings or rid our streets of crime.

I am actually a bit chubby, and I eat everything. I eat in a way - if my parents fed me the way I choose to eat as an adult, they would've lost custody.

Hari Kondabolu
I am actually a bit chubby, and I eat everything. I eat in a way - if my parents fed me the way I choose to eat as an adult, they would've lost custody.

Barry Humphries
Those women with collagen lips just look like frogs - 'muffin mouths,' I call them. There's not a line on their brows, and all the emotion gone from their faces, like all those actresses in 'Desperate Housewives.'

Marcia Clark
As I listened to the verdicts in the Casey Anthony case, acquitting her of the homicide of her baby girl, I relived what I felt back when court clerk Deirdre Robertson read the verdicts in the Simpson case. But this case is different. The verdict is far more shocking. Why? Because Casey Anthony was no celebrity.

Men and girls, men and girls: Artificial swine and pearls.

Gertrude Stein

Neil Postman
Our politics, religion, news, athletics, education and commerce have been transformed into congenial adjuncts of show business, largely without protest or even much popular notice. The result is that we are a people on the verge of amusing ourselves to death.

Everything breaks down but desire. And because we are old, doctors try to shame that out of us. Young punks! Lose one's youth, and doctors take it as axiomatic that you've lost your mind, your balls.

Kiana Davenport Shark Dialogues
Everything breaks down but desire. And because we are old, doctors try to shame that out of us. Young punks! Lose one's youth, and doctors take it as axiomatic that you've lost your mind, your balls.

Thomas Hardy Jude the Obscure
I have been looking at the marriage service in the Prayer-book, and it seems to me very humiliating that a giver-away should be required at all. According to the ceremony as they printed, my bridegroom chooses me of his own will and pleasure; but I don't choose him. Somebody gives me to him, like a she-ass or she-goat, or any other domestic animal.

Sports is to war as pornography is to sex.

Sam Harris Letter to a...
Clearly, it is time we learned to meet our emotional needs without embracing the preposterous. We must find ways to invoke the power of ritual and to mark those transitions in every human life that demand profundity - birth, marriage, death - without lying to ourselves about the nature of reality. Only then will the practice of raising our children to believe that they are Christian, Muslim, or Jewish be widely recognized as the ludicrous obscenity that it is. And only then will we stand a chance of healing the deepest and most dangerous fractures in our world.

And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to believing in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.

Terry Pratchett Feet of Clay
And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to believing in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.

Jon Krakauer Into the Wild
... Chris answered that careers were demeaning 'twentieth-century inventions,' more of a liability than an asset, and that he would do fine without one, thank you.

"We're a dramatic people," Perry Mason said slowly. "We're not like the English. The English want dignity and order. We want the dramatic and the spectacular. It's a national craving. We're geared to a rapid rate of thought. We want to have things move in a spectacular manner."

I'm just tired and I can't sleep yet. A woman's work is never done, isn't that what the fools say?

Laurie Halse Anderson Fever 1793
I'm just tired and I can't sleep yet. A woman's work is never done, isn't that what the fools say?

Youth is a deception - a deception of the press and textbooks. The best time of life! {...} Youth is the most difficult time of existence.

Hermann Hesse Gertrude
Youth is a deception - a deception of the press and textbooks. The best time of life! {...} Youth is the most difficult time of existence.

Dan Simmons Hyperion
I will not try to describe the beauty of life in a Swarm ‒ their zero-gravity globe cities and comet farms and thrust clusters, their micro-orbital forests and migrating rivers and the ten thousand colors and textures of life at Rendezvous Week. Suffice it to say that I believe the Ousters have done what Web humanity has not in the past millennia: evolved. While we live in our derivative cultures, pale reflections of Old Earth life, the Ousters have explored new dimensions of aesthetics and ethics and biosciences and art and all the things that must change and grow to reflect the human soul.
