“May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; may peace rule in states and in the lands of the potentates; may peace rule in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies.”

“There is no way any rational, reasonable person can saythat the Bush Administration has been good for America.”

“Over and over again, stories in women's magazines insist that women can know fulfillment only at the moment of giving birth to a child. They deny the years when she can no longer look forward to giving birth, even if she repeats the act over and over again.

There is no other way she can even dream about herself, except as her children's mother, her husband's wife.”
