My solo series, in some ways, have been rarely truly solo.

Marjorie Liu

I start from one point and go as far as possible. But, unfortunately, I never lose my way. I 'localize,' which is to say that I think always in a given space. I rarely think of the whole of a solo, and only very briefly. I always return to the small part of the solo that I was in the process of playing.

John Coltrane

If the Presidents Club had a seal, around the ring would be three words: cooperation, competition, and consolation.

Fewer people have successfully solo-circumnavigated the globe than have journeyed into space.

Abby Sunderland

The needlework of lies and rumors seeks to distract peoples attention from the daily business of governance under the Presidents leadership. Those who continually plot for the Presidents downfall will never succeed because she is a hard-working President with no other agenda than to promote our peoples welfare

Stupid presidents, smart presidents, white presidents, black presidents - doesn't work! What this country needs is a crazy Third World dictator. And Donald Trump has what it takes to be that. He's already got a plane with his name on it, solid gold buildings, a harem...

Lewis Black

Not by the forces of civil war can you govern the very weakest woman. You can kill that woman, but she escapes you then; you cannot govern her. No power on earth can govern a human being, however feeble, who withholds his or her consent.

Emmeline Pankhurst

When you look at the development of the American presidency, you see that the presidents who have had the greatest impact are the ones who fit their times most successfully.
