George Eliot

This thought manages to stun me: There’s no place I’d really rather got... J. D. Salinger
I heard Q-Tip on the Jungle Brothers' song 'The Promo.' It was very exciting. It was very new. The music and the culture around hip-hop was evolving.

The problem isn't that people don't understand how good things are. It's that they know, from personal experience, that things really aren't that good. Paul Krugman
I tell her all the time I'd gladly retire and hang out with the kids and clean the house. I want to have a good life and great family, and from a professional standpoint I want to be successful, but it's not the most important thing at all. Nick Lachey
