Anne Lamott
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
Anne Lamott

Robert McCammon
“... some wounds refuse the remedy of time.”
Robert McCammon, Speaks the Nightbird

Anne Lamott
“it speaks of such integrity to refuse to pretend that you’re doing well just to help other people deal with the fact that sometimes we face an impossible loss.”
Anne Lamott, Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace

Tennessee Williams
“Nothing human disgusts me . . . unless it's cruel, violent. (spoken by the character Hannah Jelkes)”
Tennessee Williams, The Night of the Iguana

Chuck Klosterman
“Presidents lie all the time. Really great presidents lie. Abraham Lincoln managed to end slavery in America partially by deception. (In an 1858 debate, he flatly insisted that he had no intention of abolishing slavery in states where it was already legal — he had to say this in order to slow the tide of secession.) Franklin Roosevelt lied about the U.S. position of neutrality until we entered World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor. (Though the public and Congress believed his public pledge of impartiality, he was already working in secret with Winston Churchill and selling arms to France.) Ronald Reagan lied about Iran-Contra so much that it now seems like he was honestly confused. Politically, the practice of lying is essential. By the time the Lewinsky story broke, Clinton had already lied about many, many things. (He’d openly lied about his level of commitment to gay rights during the ’92 campaign.) The presidency is not a job for an honest man. It’s way too complex. If honesty drove the electoral process, Jimmy Carter would have served two terms and the 2008 presidential race would have been a dead heat between Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.”
Chuck Klosterman
