My own dream is that we discover that the NSA has been secretly keeping files on members of the National Rifle Association.

My all-time favorite program in my entire life was 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.'

Nobody gets to grow old in the America they grew up in.

The history of American women is all about leaving home - crossing oceans and continents, or getting jobs and living on their own.

Illegal immigration can never be completely stopped, no matter how high the wall or how many patrol agents you have watching it.

Hillary Clinton almost got to be president. The reasons why she didn't become president had to do with bad judgments about how to handle the early caucus states, which is not a gender-specific trait.

Despite my excellent mood, I don't have any sympathy for Romney. If he'd been a good candidate he wouldn't have had a different campaign for every month on the calendar.

Unfortunately, he was about as deep as a melted ice cube.

I'm being driven crazy by people who are obsessed with limiting the scope of government, but feel perfectly free to demand that government get involved in women's most personal choices.

We always need to remember that behind almost every great moment in history, there are heroic people doing really boring and frustrating things for a prolonged period of time.

When you have a kid in your house, it's time to learn rather than teach!!!

This was the power of the story weaver, Nell realized. An ability to conjure color so that all else seemed to fade.

The contrast between the 1970's and today is very marked.

Real faith rejoices in the promise of God as if it saw the deliverance and was enjoying it.

I cheerfully quit from life as if it were an inn, not a home; for Nature has given us a hostelry in which to sojourn, not to abide.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it was the sausage-maker who disposed of the body.

I feel the happiest when I can light my American cigarettes with Soviet matches.

What's great about art is that if you can reach people, if they hear or see what you do and it moves them, there's a commonality.

The books that matter to me...are those that galvanize something inside me. I read books to read myself.
