I just have a real problem with people who seek to portray fatness or thinness as moral concepts.

Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist.

It has been said that a pretty face is a passport. But it's not, it's a visa, and it runs out fast.

What sort of sap doesn't know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway?

Families, generally, suck. And I say that as someone who, like my husband, had parents who proved the proverbial exception to the rule.

The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact.

Be still my hand and let the words write themselves upon my heart. Be still my heart and let your pages be filled in silence.

Remember this: a story that must be told never forgives silence. Speech is the mouth's debt to a story.

Theology is for homemakers who need to know who God is, who they are, and what this mundane life is all about.

Being locked up is one thing, but to have no concept of confinement, to be ignorant of its terms and never understand that struggle is useless - that's what hell must be like.

Also not the kind of place to hide a server.""Is that another pun?" She asked."No! I swear! I didn't mean that one."~Shell Game, Kingdom Keepers #5

The Democratic lawmakers are still trying to figure out how to capitalize on this new wave of leftist anger, if you want to call it that.

When I am walking in Central Park, I recognize the Italians. Because an Italian, even when he jogs, he's dressed perfect.

Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.

I will be ruthless in cutting out waste, streamlining structures and improving efficiency.
