Our original idea was to help three or four hundred candidates in the first election run for the Ohio State legislature and the California legislature around the country.

Pete du Pont

I tried to hostess... but they fired me after four days because I couldn't figure out how seating plans worked.

Taylor Schilling

Hanoi Rocks was our baby and we were the core and we started the band. All those years that went to waste because of that accident, it's only right that we have some kind of advantage because it's our history. The name 'Hanoi Rocks' I think is one of the very best names, if not the best name of all rock n' roll bands.

Michael Monroe

Each state is a unique laboratory of democracy, and California Republicans need to create a party tailored to the people of California.

Kevin Faulconer

A little bit about my family: We didn't really come from much, and we didn't take family trips to California, so my first trip to California was actually my first day of school.

Bresha Webb

That's why I call the Senate the graveyard of democracy, because even when you have 58 senators, they can block it and block it and block it.

Ralph Nader

And I am not one of those women who trips twice over the same stone.

Isabel Allende

What does the quarter-back do after handing off? He runs to the perimeter and blocks. Or tries to block. I tried to throw a block at the cornerback but his knee got me right on the temple. I remember thinking, 'boom.'

Oliver Luck

I won, we won, because we grew the base of voters who share our values - not because we tried to talk Republicans into embracing us just long enough to cast a ballot.

Katie Porter

California is among several states that already have fought their way out from under partisan gerrymandering by taking line-drawing authority away from the Legislature.

Eric Swalwell

Republicans in the South... are trying to find ways, not so much to block black and brown people from voting, but to block black and brown people from getting people they want elected, which is a far more subtle thing to do.

Joe Morton

It must be that people who read go on more macrocosmic and microcosmic trips – biblical god trips, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Ulysses, Finnegan’s Wake trips. Non-readers, what do they get? (They get the munchies.)

Maxine

This is the question I'm asking: Do Americans live twice as long because they consume twice as much energy as Europeans? Are you people twice as smart as the average Frenchman? Do you enjoy life twice as much as the average Danish guy? What have we gotten for consuming twice as much energy as Europe? What have we gotten in return?

Vaclav Smil

There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write.

Terry Pratchett

I went West and took part in the strike of the machinists - the Southern Pacific Railroad, the corporation that swung California by its golden tail, that controlled its legislature, its farmers, its preachers, its workers.

Mary Harris Jones

I think this is exactly where the action is, is in the middle. I have seen it when I was governor of the state of California. I have seen it firsthand, that the only way we brought Democrats and Republicans together, we could really solve very important issues. I remember that's how we really started rebuilding California and invested $60 billion in infrastructure.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
