“This is a jury of your peers. They watch the same TV movies. They belong to Oprah’s Book Club. You can take any monster, slap a bad dad into his past, and all of a sudden he’s just another lost soul, lashing out. And you were the poor lady that got in the way. They’ll argue you lacked compassion. You were the one who took things too far.” WayBookSoulPastLostPoorCompassionWatchesTvsDadClubsArguingMonstersPeersJurySlapLost SoulsBook ClubLashing Out Author:Jeremy Robert Johnson
“My friends ... they usually rib me about how I just sleep in and watch Oprah and that I don't really have a proper job. I've given up arguing now, so I just agree with them, even though half the time I realise I've started work before they have. Still, it's best to keep the romantic idea alive. If they call around midday and ask if they woke me, I always say yes.” IfsStillsIdeasJobsAsksGivenSleepHalfWatchesAliveMy FriendsAgreeArguingRealisingGiven UpRibs Author:Markus Zusak
“The whole notion of politics is they always present you with this or this or this. I’ll get a newspaper to read between the lines. Why do you have to adhere to prescribed formulas that they have and people argue over them and they’re all in a box. And you watch Fox claw CNN, and CNN claw Fox. Sometimes I catch a piece of the news and it seems insanity to me. I quietly support candidates. I’m not out there banging a drum for candidates. But I have supported a candidate and it’s a whole other world.” PeopleWorldSometimesWholeSeemsLinesWatchesSupportPiecesNewsNotionBoxesArguingNewspapersInsanityCandidatesFormulasFoxesOther WorldsClawsCnnBangingBetween The LinesRead Between The Lines Author:Mel Gibson
