"People who've had happy childhoods are wonderful, but they're bland... An unhappy childhood compels you to use your imagination to create a world in which you can be happy. Use your old grief. That's the gift you're given." -- Baron Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett "The one bonus of not lifting the ban on gays in the military is that the next time the government mandates a draft we can all declare homosexuality instead of running off to Canada." -- Lorne Bloch "If you think education is expensive, you ought to try ignorance." -- Derek Bok "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." -- Napoleon Bonaparte "When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country." -- Elayne Boosler "Sex is fucking, gender is everything else." -- Kate Bornstein "The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway." -- Henry Boye Index
