What is the gay life style? Short hair? Minimalist decor? We can't simply be talking sex acts here, can we? Because if we are, tha...t would mean that the heterosexual life style would consist largely of the missionary position. That doesn't entirely conform to my view of the heterosexual life style, which consists largely of folding towels, calling out for pizza and fighting over the remote for the TV.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God.... We must serve him in whatever way we are called. I am called to help the individual; to love each poor person. Not to deal with institutions. I am in no position to judge.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One reason--perhaps the chief--of the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that beca...use they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

She even had a kind of special position among men: she was an exception, she fitted none of the categories they commonly used when... talking about girls; she wasn't a cock-teaser, a cold fish, an easy lay or a snarky bitch; she was an honorary person. She had grown to share their contempt for most women.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The Americans are violently oral.... That's why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all--isn'...t respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It's impossible to represent a saint [in Art]. It becomes boring. Perhaps because he is, like the Saturday Evening Post people, in... the position of having almost infinitely free will.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The criterion which we use to test the genuineness of apparent statements of fact is the criterion of verifyability. We say that a... sentence is factually significant to any given person, if, and only if, he knows how to verify the proposition which it purports to express--that is, if he knows what observations would lead him, under certain conditions, to accept the proposition as true, or reject it as being false.... To make our position clearer, we may formulate it in another way. Let us call a proposition which records an actual or possible observation an experiential proposition. Then we may say that it is the mark of a genuine factual proposition, not that it should be equivalent to an experiential proposition, or any finite number of experiential propositions, but simply that some experiential propositions can be deduced from it in conjunction with certain other premises without being deducible from those other premises alone.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
