Treachery has existed as long as there’s been warfare, and there’s always been a few people that you couldn’t trust. Jim Mattis Read Quote
Christie led the way – with a bulldozer. The governor is blunt, brash, and self-consciously authentic, the antithesis to what turns off today’s voters: flip-flopping politicians who speak in poll-tested platitudes. Yes, he’s the anti-Romney. Ron Fournier Read Quote
Nothing is ever going to be as important or as exciting as a baby. Everyone has their highs and lows, but if you’ve got that one constant in your life – in my case, a baby – the highs are never going to be as big, and the lows are never going to be as bad. Catherine Tate Read Quote
Big Stephen King fan. I think he’s dismissed often as a hack probably because of his prolific body of work, but he’s anything but. I think he’s a terrific writer.
