    Anne Michaud
    “What we witness playing out in the relationships of our public figures we risk finding acceptable in our private lives. Feminists have connected women’s sexual subordination to their unequal status in society, and have strived to transform women’s expectations in their private lives. Private dignity at home equates to dignity in the workplace and the public sphere.”
    ― Anne Michaud, Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Eight Political Wives

    Brian J. Twiddy
    “Then I met Abigail. She was as intoxicating as the wine, the music was heady, and the body language, off the scale. When we finished our meal, I didn’t even have to ask, I went to the reception desk, picked up the key, and she followed me like a ticking bomb all the way to the room”

    Dalton Trumbo
    “Silence.
    What's this what's this oh my god can a men ever get lower can a man ever be less?
    Weariness and gasping convulsive exhaustion. All life dead all life wasted and becoming nothing less than nothing only the germ of nothing. A kind of sickness that comes from shame. A weakness like dying weakness and faintness and a prayer. God give me rest take me away hide me let me die oh god how weary how much already dead how much gone and going oh god hide me and give me peace.”
    ― Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun

    “A lot of people—young and old— have not done a very good job of taking care of our country so we can enjoy living in it. Almost everywhere today you see the marks of the stupid and the careless who are ruining what we should all take care of for our own pleasure—and our own good.”
