“What men usually say of misfortunes, that they never come alone, may with equal truth be said of good fortune; nay, of other circumstances which gather round us in a harmonious way, whether it arise from a kind of fatality, or that man has the power of attracting to himself things that are mutually related.” MenWayKindMaySaidCircumstancesTruth IsEqualFortuneRoundsAriseRelatedMisfortunesGood FortuneHarmoniousMe AloneFatality Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“To me, the fun part of both jobs is to always try to push the discussion and debate forward in some way. The most fun part of being a theater critic for the Times was always to try and champion something that maybe other people didn't like, or that was produced under obscure circumstances or had to fight for its life. And I would say in the column what I try to do is in some ways related in that I'm trying to fight for a point of view. I'm not trying to be a kingmaker in either job, and don't want to be, and shouldn't be.” PeopleWayWantTryingJobsFightingFunViewsCircumstancesTheaterCriticsPoint Of ViewDebateDiscussionChampionRelatedObscureColumns Author:Frank Rich
“The education system is where young skulls full of mush are programmed and propagandized into the system. They are highly valuable. That's why they're subsidized. You know, universities are approaching the same circumstance we have in health care. What it costs is not related at all to market forces.

You get right down to it, how many Americans, how many families can afford 20,000, 30,000, $50,000 a year or semester to send their kids off to college? It has to be subsidized.” PeopleKnowsYearsCareKidsYoungForceCollegeCircumstancesCostUniversityValuableHealth CareRelatedSkullsEducation SystemSemesterOff To College Author:Rush Limbaugh

“Character isn't what we think it is or, rather, what we want it to be. It isn't a stable, easily identifiable set of closely related traits, and it only seems that way because of a glitch in the way our brains are organized. Character is more like a bundle of habits and tendencies and interests, loosely bound together and dependent, at certain times, on circumstance and context.” ThinkingWayWantCharacterSeemsTogetherCertainInterestBrainHabitCircumstancesBoundsTendenciesRelatedOrganizedDependentTraitsStableBundlesGlitches Author:Malcolm Gladwell
