| 7c80e90 | When it comes to work, it isn't so much what we do or how much we're paid; it's the satisfaction we take in doing it. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 269025c | People always love it when you say their dogs are nice. Just shows you how out of touch they are. | dogs-and-humans | Sue Grafton | |
| 36cd5dc | A lot of people were mistaken about a lot of things. | Sue Grafton | ||
| cc85bff | My own mystery, unplumed, undetected, was sorted into files that were neatly labeled but really didn't say much. | Sue Grafton | ||
| d033c6b | I like my life as it is. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 8141cbd | There were pieces missing yet but they would fall into place and then maybe the whole of it would make sense. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 4af07bd | Violent death is like a monster. The closer you get to it, the more damage you sustain if you survive at all. | Sue Grafton | ||
| d273aea | When I'm with you, I don't feel self-conscious or like I'm crippled or ugly. I don't know how you do that, but it's nice. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 0f463fc | You can always push people around, but it's not a good idea. Better to let them volunteer information for reasons of their own. You get more that way. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 42e1134 | What was done was done. | Sue Grafton | ||
| c07260a | We are here this afternoon to mourn the passing of two good friends, Terrence Dace and Felix Beider. They were homeless. Their ways were not those we most desire for ourselves, but that didn't make them wrong. We seem determined to save the homeless, to fix them, to change them into something other than what they are. We want them to be like us, but they are not. The homeless do not want our pity, nor do they deserve our scorn. Our judgment.. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 64938f6 | Thinking is hard work, which is why you don't see a lot of people doing it. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 6cd60bd | a book has no unwanted calories and you don't have to worry about sizes as long as the subject matter appeals to the recipient. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 48ab84c | I used to have a crow named Albert. Bertie, when I got to know him better. I got him when he was just a little guy and had him for years. A young crow doesn't navigate well and they'll sometimes crash-land. They're called branchers at that age-that's about all they can do, lumber awkwardly from branch to branch. Sometimes they get stuck and they wail like babies until you get 'em down. Bertie must have bitten off a bit more than he could ch.. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 320c623 | There's nothinng like an outsider's idle glance to make you conscious of your own environment. | Sue Grafton | ||
| 0f972a1 | It's a dangerous assumption and I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but it's always easier to pin suspicion on someone you dislike. | dislike sue-grafton suspicion | Sue Grafton | |
| 5d5be72 | Don't let the bastards get you down. Stay true to yourself and your values. Most of all, keep going. | progress true-self values | Hillary Rodham Clinton | |
| abcc582 | What kind of woman was she? What kind of woman was it who called to me from that calamity on the Seventh Avenue line? What kind of woman do I love now, with a fealty that will not cease, not till my occluded arteries send their clots up to the spongy interiors in my skull and I go mute and slack? I love the kind of woman whose hair has gone gray in a not terribly flattering way, the kind who doesn't even notice how she has to keeps having t.. | optimism positivity women | Rick Moody | |
| ab932d0 | I chose option A. I kept my cool, aided by a lifetime of dealing with difficult men trying to throw me off. I did, however, grip the microphone extra hard. I wonder, though, whether I should have chosen option B. It certainly would have been better TV. Maybe I have overlearned the lesson of staying calm--biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world. .. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 73f0b75 | Given my inability to explain this mess, I decided to let other voices tell the story this time. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 8bb1641 | To this day, I can't hear "Fight Song," "Roar," or "Rise Up" without getting emotional." | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| b36cf51 | Republicans persuaded whites in places like West Virginia to vote against their economic interests by appealing to them on cultural issues-- in other words, "gays, guns, and God." | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| df956b3 | One thing that has never been a hard choice for me is serving our country. It has been the greatest honor of my life. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| cdfa0b2 | Strength is what it's all about. Trump doesn't think in terms of morality or human rights, he thinks only in terms of power and dominance. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 5e80589 | As much as I might have wanted to, I could never change my vote on Iraq. But I could try to help us learn the right lessons from that war and apply them to Afghanistan and other challenges where we had fundamental security interests. I was determined to do exactly that when facing future hard choices, with more experience, wisdom, skepticism, and humility. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| c274355 | Will we ever have a woman President? We will. I hope I'll be around to vote for her--assuming I agree with her agenda. She'll have to earn my vote based on her qualifications and ideas, just like anyone else. When that day comes, I believe that my two presidential campaigns will have helped pave the way for her. We did not win, but we made the sight of a woman nominee more familiar. We brought the possibility of a woman president closer. We.. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 7cc56f0 | The truth is, everyone's flawed. That's the nature of human beings. But our mistakes alone shouldn't define us. We should be judged by the totality of our work and life. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 0b76c7e | So I've never had much respect for activists who are willing to sit out elections, waste their votes, or tear down well-meaning allies rather than engage constructively. Making the perfect the enemy of the good is shortsighted and counterproductive. And when someone on the left starts talking about how there's no difference between the two parties or that electing a right-wing Republican might somehow hasten "the revolution," it's just unfa.. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| c63462e | They used a dossier of lies, paid for by a major political party, the Democratic National Committee, and a presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and even the FBI, to dupe the court! But based on text messages later found between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his girlfriend Lisa Page, they wanted to forum shop for their favorite judge, Rudolph Contreras, plotting their move under the pretense of a dinner party to get their warrant. Th.. | Jeanine Pirro | ||
| 820c5fc | They knew that the worse Washington looked, the more voters would reject the idea that government could ever be an effective force for progress. They could stop most good things from happening and then be rewarded because nothing good was happening. When something good did happen, such as expanding health care, they would focus on tearing it down, rather than making it better. With many of their voters getting their news from partisan sourc.. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| c490b83 | Take criticism seriously, but not personally. If there is truth or merit in the criticism, try to learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you. Easier said than done. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 29a5cc1 | Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 59d5cfc | When I got to know Mandela better, he explained that as a young man he had a quick temper. In prison he learned to control his emotions in order to survive. His years in jail had given him the time and motivation to look deeply into his own heart and to deal with the pain he found. He reminded me that gratitude and forgiveness, which often result from pain and suffering, require tremendous discipline. The day his imprisonment ended, he told.. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 6120f03 | I went back to de Tocqueville. After studying the French Revolution, he wrote that revolts tend to start not in places where conditions are worst, but in places where expectations are most unmet. So if you've been raised to believe your life will unfold a certain way--say, with a steady union job that doesn't require a college degree but does provide a middle-class income, with traditional gender roles intact and everyone speaking English--.. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 1794b20 | When people feel left out, left behind, and left without options, the deep void will be filled by anger and resentment or depression and despair about those who supposedly took away their livelihood or cut in line. Trump brilliantly tapped into all these feelings. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| e414bd2 | Bhutto acknowledged the difficulties faced by women who were breaking with tradition and taking leading roles in public life. She deftly managed to refer both to the challenges I had encountered during my White House tenure and to her own situation. "Women who take on tough issues and stake out new territory are often on the receiving end of ignorance," she concluded. In a private meeting with the Prime Minister, we talked about her upcomin.. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 3b2530b | When you are in a common boat, cross the river peacefully together. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| c456009 | we are living in an interdependent world where what our children hear, see, feel, and learn will affect how they grow up and who they turn out to be. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 9bac1a4 | When I said, "You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," I was talking about well-documented reality. ... But too many of Trump's core supporters do hold views that I find--there's no other word for it--deplorable." | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 51d6a81 | women are seen favorably when they advocate for others, but unfavorably when they advocate for themselves. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 734b9e7 | I have a weakness for Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers and was delighted to find out that 55 goldfish were only 150 calories - not bad! One time, Liz brought something I hadn't tried before: Flavor Blasted Goldfish. We passed around the bag and discussed whether it was better than the original. Some of my staff thought yes, which was incorrect. | Hillary Rodham Clinton | ||
| 0ebd909 | I cannot be a monk, nor a crusader, nor a tumbler. I must stay here and hem sheets until I die. My humors are greatly out of balance. I prescribe for myself wormwood and spiced wine and some of the custard left from supper, and I will let all of the dogs sleep in my bed. | Karen Cushman | ||
| 595c87b | in my opinion, life is like juggling... Things come at you--balls, clubs, knives, sorrow, loss. Either you stand there and let them hit you or you throw them back , with all your might. | Karen Cushman | ||
| 1fb8540 | All the Baptist churches she's ever visited smelled of the same sweat and boredom. | Sheri Holman |
