In the company of the accomplished, people hope it will rub off on themselves, in the company of the misfortunate, they fear it!
I am ready and prepared to work with the President, but I will not be a rubber stamp for any president.
If retirement means laying on a beach and rubbing coco butter on your stomach, about 48 hours of that will be enough for most people. You'll want something new.
A fresh and vigorous weed, always renewed and renewing, it will cut its wondrous way through rubbish and rubble.
My dream is to one day afford a real pair of ruby slippers. For me, they will always be the ultimate shoe.
The German Emperor is ageing me; he is like a battleship with steam up and screws going, but with no rudder, and he will run into something some day and cause a catastrophe.
I will be vigilant to protect the independence and integrity of the Supreme Court, and I will work to ensure that it upholds the rule of law and safeguards those liberties that make this land one of endless possibilities for all Americans.
The Constitution is worth saving, the rule of law is worth saving, democracy is worth saving, but these things can and will be lost if everyone waits around for someone else.

I'm not a Mensa member. I have no idea where that rumor came from. I never have been, and I doubt if I ever will be.
When people ask how I came up with the concept for my second novel, 'The Immortalists' - four siblings visit a fortune teller who is rumored to be able to tell anyone the date that they will die - I always wish I had a better answer.
Running away will never make you free.
I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.
At Rent the Runway, we rent designer clothes. We have a belief set that half of the closet over time is going to move into the cloud, and a portion of what we wear every single day will be comprised of things that we don't own forever.
I was talking to Rupert Murdoch the other day at a lunch, and he said, 'Maybe I'll live to 100'. He actually thinks he will live to 100!
