Time, Mother, Human

A pet store is a celebration of dogs' existence and an explosion of options. About cats, a pet store seems to say, 'Here, we couldn't think of anything else.'

Sloane Crosley

Pet, Else, Here

Jon Hamm

Life, Age, Time

I'll never get out of politics. I have friends in public office. I have things that I want to do. You can't go back in life. I won't go back to the existence I had before of running a political consulting firm and signing up clients and advising campaigns in exactly that way.
Karl Rove

Life, Politics, Political

Joe Nichols

Life, Yourself, Mind
