On who's to blame for Sept 11th: "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way—all of them who have tried to secularize America—I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'."
On public education: "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again, and Christians will be running them."
On feminists: "I listen to feminists and all these radical gals. ... These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men; that's their problem."
"I always had trouble distinguishing between what happened and what merely might have happened, but I remain unconvinced that the distinction, for my purposes, matters." -Joan Didion
I am won over with offers of:
(1) plane tickets, theatre tickets, concert tickets for anything folky;
(2) late start times, obsolete alarm clocks, afternoon brunch;
(3) charming personal anecdotes, a good bullshit story, choosing one’s own adventure;
(4) pickles, multiple forms of the potato, every form of chocolate;
(5) and dogs. All of them.
