Oliver Wendell Holmes

Moral, Means, Possible

Patti Smith

Work, Freedom, Fact

The government, for example, has determined that black people (somehow) have fewer abilities than white people, and, so, must be given certain preferences. Anyone acquainted with both black and white people knows this assessment is not only absurd but monstrous. And yet it is the law.
David Mamet

Government, Black, Law

I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.
Christian Bale

John Sununu

Vladimir Putin

I don't have any preferences.

Ron Perlman

Work, Fun, Done

Ayelet Waldman

Fear, Lost, Different

Kellan Lutz

Book, Down, Team

Andrew Cohen

Problem, Big, Another

Politics, Time, Good
