A Kindle returns us to the inconvenience of the scroll, except with batteries and electronic glitches. It's as handy as bringing Homer along to recite the 'Iliad' while playing a lyre.
The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.
The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that's where it's at.
Jessica Battilana has been my kindred cooking spirit for more than 10 years. Our careers as cooks and writers have taken us through the same Bay Area restaurants, bakeries, magazines, and newspapers.
Let us be bold. Let us be brave. Let us be together.
Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.
Each of us bears his own Hell.
I'm still a firm believer that we were definitely put here to use our minds, and that is what makes us different. And that that's the key. If there is anything that is going to stop mankind from being such a beastly, destructive creature, it is reason.
We are so beaten down by political correctness that most of us are numb to the surrender of America.
The Beatles will exist without us.
They gave their money, and they gave their screams. But the Beatles kind of gave their nervous systems. They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did, and then blamed it on us.
Beautiful people are always with us, as evolutionary psychologists and a trip to the news-stand confirm.
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.
In the U.S., hospitals are rewarded for keeping hospital beds full. That's the market at work. The question is: should we work for the market, or should the market work for us?
You're gonna know, if I have beef with somebody, then one of us is just falling out.
The child is not an empty being who owes whatever he knows to us who have filled him up with it. No, the child is the builder of man. There is no man existing who has not been formed by the child he once was.
A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope.
If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be assigned probability.
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.
