• No debemos ocultarnos a nosotros mismos que no es posible ninguna mejora en la deprimente situación actual sin una severa lucha; porque el puñado de los que están realmente decididos a hacer algo es minúsculo en comparación con la masa de los tibios y los descarriados. Y los que tienen interés en mantener en marcha la maquinaria de la guerra son un cuerpo muy poderoso; no se detendrán ante nada para hacer que la opinión pública se someta a sus fines asesinos.

• I know that Dad was an idol to millions who grew up loving his music and his ideals. But to me he wasn't a musician or a peace icon, he was the father I loved and who let me down in so many ways. After the age of five, when my parents separated, I saw him only a handful of times, and when I did he was often remote and intimidating. I grew up longing for more contact with him but felt rejected and unimportant in his life.
  ... ... While Dad was fast becoming one of the wealthiest men in his field, Mum and I had very little and she was going out to work to support us.

We are so underrepresented and whether we like it or not, we are in area - in an era that still the women, the handful that are there, have two jobs: they represent the constituency that they're from, and they also represent the women of the nation or the state or sometimes as Maloney has done, of the world.

It's the most horrible, horrible process known to man. I wouldn't want anybody to go through it.

• Contrary to the rhetoric emanating from the American left, the 'rich' are currently paying a lot more than 'their fair share.' It is only a handful of mega-rich, those whose entire incomes are derived from dividends and capital gains, rather than salaries or business profits, who have the ability to pay lower tax rates than some members of the middle class. The left knows this but continues to build their 'freeloading millionaire' straw man because it makes good politics.
