“Don't you know that four fifths of all our troubles in this life would disappear if we would just sit down and keep still?”

“Don't you know that the principal business of women, all down the ages, has been to go along after the men and clear up the everlasting muss they made? Well, we are still at the same task. Our politics are no more corrupt than our housekeeping would be if we let you run it alone.”

“Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear”

“In another life, I would be your girl.
We'd keep all our promises,
Be us against the world.
In another life, I would make you stay,
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away,
The one that got away.”

“Nobody's life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn't be perfect little moments. They would just be normal. How would you ever know happiness if you never experience downs?”

“I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking to each other instead of about each other.”

“We must not wish for the disappearance of our troubles but for the grace to transform them.”

“Nothing would make me happier than to have you share it with everyone you know. All surveys have shown that, the more people who see it — especially those still sitting on the fence — the more likely we will have regime change.”

“Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.”

“Perhaps that's what all human relationships boil down to: Would you save my life? or would you take it?”
