“I really didn’t want to have my name on the center, because it just seemed like it was too much of a personal thing.”

My makeup wasn’t smeared, I wasn’t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?

Having babies is a blessing, not a duty.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.

Any woman should have the right to a safe and legal abortion.

I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.

The problem with drugs is that people forget to stop doing them. There’s a time and a place for everything, Mr. Mackey, and it’s called college.

The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom for women.

My family joins me in sharing the difficult news that Gerald Ford, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather has passed away at 93 years of age. His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country.

A housewife deserves to be honored as much as a woman who earns her living in the marketplace. I consider bringing up children a responsible job. In fact, being a good housewife seems to me a much tougher job than going to the office and getting paid for it.

I think once I made up my mind that I was allergic to alcohol, and that’s what I learned, it made sense to me. And I think it was kind of pointed out that you know if you were allergic to strawberries, you wouldn’t eat strawberries. And that made sense to me.

That’s what we’re here on this Earth for, to help others.

I’ll never forget the day that I was told I would have to have a mastectomy. My reaction to the words was total denial.

Holding these babies in my arms makes me realize the miracle my husband and I began.

Alcohol may pick you up a little bit, but it lets you down in a hurry.

We’re full all the time. And people do have good success and I think one of the programs at the center, the Continuing Care, helps them with their success. Because it’s difficult the first year.

You can make it, but it’s easier if you don’t have to do it alone.

I think there’s been a decline in the public’s access to what’s being done with their tax dollars, what’s being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired.

I never went after character payments. I’m pretty much terrible at naming characters, so I usually name them after people I know.

A domain name is your address, your address on the Internet. We all have a physical address; we’re all going to need an address in cyberspace. They’re becoming increasingly important. I believe we’ll get to the point where when you’re born, you’ll be issued a domain name.

Truth for us is simply a collective name for verification processes

You will not be asked about your culture in your grave. And you will not be judged based on your Father’s last name. When the trumpet blares, there will be no more kings, only slaves. And your family traditions will not be able to keep you safe.

We are born perfect, and we will die perfect. The problem is that we create that character in our story that we pretend to be, or that we want to be, and we cannot hide that from ourselves. We know that we are pretending to be what we are not in the name of perfection.

We’ve got a name for sushi in Georgia… bait

I chose the name Pi because it’s an irrational number (one with no discernable pattern). Yet scientists use this irrational number to come to a “rational” understanding of the universe. To me, religion is a bit like that, “irrational” yet with it we come together we come to a sound understanding of the universe.
