It was my time to assume ascendancy. My powers were
in play, and in force. -- Jane Eyre

Every universe, our own included, begins in conversation.
-- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

No cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer.
-- The Last Unicorn
_______________________________

In grade school, we always had to write about My Summer Vacation, or My Life. We were supposed to say things like: My name is Barbara Fisher. I am eleven years old. I live with my mother and father and my brother Richard in Fair Park, New York. My favorite animal is The Dog. My favorite color is blue.

Actually, my favorite color is not blue. I love bright colors like red and purple, and dry colors like beige and brown, and silky colors like ivory. But it is too complicated to say all that, so I just used to put blue.

-- The Real Me, by Betty Miles

Let's say you have a backyard full of broken glass shards.
That doesn't break any laws. Now let's say you have a
backyard full of broken glass shards, and there's a jungle
gym right in the middle of it, and you live next to a school.
That would be an attractive nuisance. -- the first of my
friends to graduate law school

Women have often felt insane when cleaving to the truth of our
experience. Our future depends on the sanity of each of us,
and we have a profound stake, beyond the personal, in the
project of describing our reality as candidly and fully
as we can to each other ... When a woman tells the truth
she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.
-- Adrienne Rich

The test of our progress is not whether we add more
to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether
we provide enough for those who have too little.
-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I really think their foreign policy goal is to spread irony around the world.
-- Jon Stewart on the Bush administration
