Roger Ebert:

We're great in this country about doing things that are "good" for children.

I think on this day, for the first time in my life, I can speak for all of America and perhaps for all of mankind, when I say that if proctological examinations ever become part of airport security, that's where I draw the line.

Annie Lowrey, on Peter Kant, of Rapiscan:

I hope Rapiscan is paying him extra for this.

Paul Graham:

I'm not saying we should stop, but I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.

Lisa Belkin:

There is often a mismatch between what we see when we look at our children, and what is really there.

Marc Lacey:

In other words, there has to be a line people will not cross, even for a suitcase full of cash.

Ali Dhux:

A man tries hard to help you find your lost camels.
He works more tirelessly than even you,
But in truth he does not want you to find them, ever.

Cormac McCarthy:

At dusk they halted and built a fire and roasted the deer. The night was much enclosed about them and there were no stars. To the north they could see other fires that burned red and sullen along the invisible ridges. They ate and moved on, leaving the fire on the ground behind them, and as they rode up into the mountains this fire seemed to become altered of its location, now here, now there, drawing away, or shifting unaccountably along the flank of their movement. Like some ignis fatuus belated upon the road behind them which all could see and of which none spoke. For this will to deceive that is in things luminous may manifest itself likewise in retrospect and so by sleight of some fixed part of a journey already accomplished may also post men to fraudulent destinies.
