There’s nothing to do but to stand there and take it.”– Lyndon B. Johnson “Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing.

It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.”– Octavio Paz “In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.”– Newt Gingrich
