Allison Jaslow: "This time demands that every American who’s willing to step up and lead in this moment, does. That’s one of the many reasons why I’m launching my campaign for Congress today, and I hope you’ll join me as I look to give the people of NC-03 the representation they deserve."

A quotation from Candice Bergen
I used to believe that marriage would diminish me, reduce my options. That you had to be someone less to live with someone else when, of course, you have to be someone more.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
