I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz, who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and... Allen Ginsberg
People used to ask me: 'Well, was it the power that attracted you to Bill Clinton?' And I said, well, how much power do you think the attorney general of Arkansas has? Of course not. It wasn't that for me. I just a thought he was wonderful in general. Gennifer Flowers
I met Bill Clinton in 1977 while I was working as a news reporter for KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after we met, we began a sexual relationship that lasted for twelve years. Gennifer Flowers

Like it or not, the people of Arkansas sent me to Washington to represent them in this great body. Mark Pryor
You know, in my hometown of Hope, Arkansas, the three sacred heroes were Jesus, Elvis, and FDR, not necessarily in that order. Mike Huckabee
Do you realize that if we could increase just by 50 percent the number of adults who have a college degree, it would add $5 billion to the economy and it would result in a net income to the state of Arkansas of $340 million a year? Mike Huckabee
Mike Huckabee quote: "A Republican in my state of Arkansas feels about as out of..."
A Republican in my state of Arkansas feels about as out of place as Michael Vick at the West Minister dog show. Mike Huckabee
It's about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they? Alan Cumming
Jim Hightower quote: "If you can't be a populist in Arkansas, you ain't going to be..."
If you can't be a populist in Arkansas, you ain't going to be a populist in Washington. Jim Hightower
Billy Bob Thornton quote: "I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me..."
I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip. Billy Bob Thornton
I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from. Mary Steenburgen
