I've been talking about the centrality of libraries in our information society for a while now.

A degree of lying - you know, white lies - seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.

Many of you might already recognize me as the guy in the question-mark suits appearing in the late night TV commercials and on the cover of educational books and CDs.

No salesman can ever guarantee you a grant from any government or non-profit organization.

Government workers often get a bad rap, but it's rare for them to receive much appreciation when government works.

Not offering this kind of guarantee means that they do not believe in their product enough, and they do not care about if a salesman is over promising or over selling their product.

Most every dental school has discount dental services.

A big part of finding the right resources is knowing what to look for and what to avoid.

What is also strange to me is that public libraries have always been in the forefront of opposing censorship.

There are thousands of grant programs and every program has different requirements and deadlines.

I've been bragging for over 25 years that my first New York Times bestseller was a book I copied from the U.S. Government Printing Office!

God wasn't love, couldn't be love. Because for me, love was a corpse.

It's the most unhappy people who want to stay alive, because they think they haven't done everything they want to do. They think they haven't had enough time. They feel they've been shortchanged.

Because of our interconnectedness we all know that extreme poverty and exclusionary practices are violations against the basic dignity of people.

And for a very special group of people, we've provided their only job. I'm speaking of course of the disabled. They have stated they don't want a hand out just a hand. We are happy to give them one.

I'd rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.

I think the thing that I most appreciate now is that stereotypes involving Jewish identity activate fears of persecution that exist in the present day.

Everything I wear doesnt put me in the league of women. If I were a boy, I could look a lot prettier than a lot of boys I know.

You don't want to pitch a tent and live inside the Louvre. You want to check it out, appreciate it, and move somewhere else.

The zeitgeist is ever-changing. If you try second guess what people want, you'll miss it.

I've grown used to being lonely over the years, so I don't seek to change it. But aren't there many people who are lonely?
