The gun lobby finds waiting periods inconvenient. You have only to ask my husband how inconvenient he finds his wheelchair from time to time.

I've thought Cheney was scary for a long time. Now I know I was right to be nervous.

We must get rid of all the guns.

I give no sources, because it is indifferent to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me by another.

In my long and colorful career, one thing stands out: I have been misunderstood.

I want to thank God because that's who I look up. He's graced my life with opportunities. He's shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates.

Even though I think writers can sometimes thrive from being misread. It can give them something to push off of.
