I dearly love the state of Texas, but I consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with consenting adults.

The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion.

I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics.

I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
