Yes, we need euthanasia, for certain cases where people are in comas or too immobile to even press a button. (Jack Kevorkian)
"I am trying to trust," said one to me this past week, who had heard the earth falling on the casket which held the cold form of the dearest human friend, " I am trying to trust," and so I have seen a bird with a broken wing trying to fly. When the heart is broken, all our trying will only increase our pain and unrest. But if, instead of trying to trust, we will press closer to the Comforter, and lean our weary heads upon His sufficient grace, the trust will come without our trying, and the promised "perfect peace" will calm every troubled wave of sorrow.

If I were running against Chuck Schumer. I would take every one of his Sunday press releases - and there are 52 for as many years as he's been there - and I would ask, 'How many of the things he said he was proposing became law?' I doubt many. View quote
Ed Koch
The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it he cannot grow or mature. View quote

John Masefield
We are not talking here about mere bad frat-boy behavior or professorial eccentricity but about orchestrated campaigns to assault the fundamental liberties of the American republic, tolerated by campus administrators who, in equal measure, fear confrontations with student activists as a threat to their career advancement, and hope that no news of their cravenness leaks out to the press and the alumni.

Annie Finch
I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press. View quote

I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High. (Ethan Hawke)
The press is still investing itself, it seems to me, in a sort of cynicism. It comes out better for them if they can predict hard times, bogging down, sniping, attrition. View quote
Christopher Hitchens
There are some people that the press like to pick on and not just the gay press, but the press in general. And some people, the press just doesn't care about at all. View quote

Bruce Hawker was a useful press secretary for a state premier a few years ago before becoming a lobbyist. Right now I am sure he has his hands full helping bail out a sinking Labor government with a recycled Kevin Rudd. View quote

The government can't create jobs; they'll destroy jobs trying to do it. The government doesn't have any money; all they have is a printing press. We need to free markets to create jobs; if the government wants to help, they should reduce their burden on the economy. View quote

I guess it's true what they say, the third time's a charm I grabbed the game and let it die in my arms Then resurrected it Changed clothes, same flow, perfected it They know Swain though they still won't respect the kid But I ain't slowin' up This time, blowin' up Sponsors, concerts, everybody showin' up Know enough tricks of the trade to get a record deal: Fresh kicks, press kits, sex appeal Had to mail my demo out 'cause I ain't had enough bus pass To take the bus first class So frustrated, had to puff-puff-pass Sent my CD out to Puff, Puff passed Must've had enough trash on his desk this year Sent one to So So Def, but it fell on so so deaf ears I never once shed tears, this must be a test here.

The most recent campaign [by the "Gay International”] has targeted the Palestinian Authority (PA). The campaign started two years after the eruption of the second intifada. Articles published in the US press, written by Israelis or pro-Jewish activists, claimed that Palestinian "gays” are so oppressed that they could only find refuge in "democratic” Israel. Interviews with such "gay refugees” recounted horrid torture by PA elements. Indeed, the effort was inaugurated by US Congressman Barney Frank himself, who used the occasion to praise Israeli "democracy”... View quote
