Sue Miller

It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.

Mickey Mantle

You don't have any communication between the Israelis and the Iranians. You have all sorts of local triggers for conflict. Having countries act on a hair trigger - where they can't afford to be second to strike - the potential for a miscalculation or a nuclear war through inadvertence is simply too high.

Dennis Ross

One cannot be aware both of the history of Christian war and of the contents of the gospels without feeling that something is amiss.

Wendell Berry

What is a family, after all, except memories? Haphazard and precious as the contents of a catch-all drawer in the kitchen.

Joyce Carol Oates

I always love the soapy conflicts between somebody's family of origin and their new family - 'Do I have Thanksgiving at my husband's parents' house, or at my parents' house?'
