Quotes

  • Nothing sells tombstones like a Girl Scout in uniform.
  • I would prefer to believe that a market in fetal organs would empower women to use their reproductive capabilities to their own economic advantage.
  • Depression and hopelessness are not the only reasons terminally ill patients wish to end their lives. Many individuals see nothing undignified about choosing to end their lives at the time and manner of their choosing — and many view such a choice as the meaningful culmination of a good life.
  • Victory [over homophobia] may require five or maybe 20 years. Yet I have no doubt that "don't ask, don't tell" and same-sex adoption bans will be as unspeakable and inexplicable to my grandchildren as counting a slave as three-fifths of a human being.
