Growing up in a Jewish matriarchal world inside the patriarchal paradise of Salt Lake City, Utah, gave me increased perspective on gender issues, as it also did my gay brother and my lesbian sister. Our younger sister is the perfect Jewish-American wife and mother, and is fiercely proud of that fact.
Was Frauen noch lernen müssen, ist, dass niemand ihnen Macht gibt. Sie müssen sie sich nehmen.
A guy is a lump like a doughnut. So, first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite, the male ego.
Schönheit gibt es in allen Größen - nicht nur in Größe 36
The day I worry about cleaning my house is the day Sears comes out with a riding vacuum cleaner.
I never do anything fun, because I'm a housewife. I hate that word 'housewife.' I prefer to be called 'domestic goddess.'
You can always get better. Nobody can stop you from getting better, and nobody can stop you from trying to make something right.
It's okay to be fat. So you're fat. Just be fat and shut up about it.
I'm tired of watching as men destroy all the world. Everything used to be beautiful when women were in charge, and now I, working as the physical manifestation of the goddess Isis and the reincarnation of Cleopatra, have decided to save the world.
As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.
The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.
I want to eat, cook, meet famous people and make fun of them.
Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you're feeling festive?
Meditation state is a place of deep relaxation where you can pinpoint the things you do and to set a paradigm switch from effect to cause. So how to be a cause in your own life.
I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of people... that's why I don't like any of them.
Women complain about PMS, but I think of it as the only time of the month when I can be myself.
Excuse the mess but we live here.
I actually regard Facebook as a huge bore, but I cannot refrain from participating in it. I guess I crave the feeling of hope it gives me to think that today will be different from yesterday, that I will find an interesting comment or poke or video, and on the extremely rare occasion when that happens, I am just thrilled.
I always had a dissociative disorder. But I healed from it over the course of 14 years of big-time therapy. But, you know, I mean, everybody's kind of loony now. So I was kind of a pioneer in the mental illness thing, too.
Women of this planet need some essential resources: wells, seeds and roads. That is primarily all we have ever needed. Added to that, women need righteous and strong men who will help us to use our most cherished gifts: the ability to multitask and problem solve.
Ever since I was a girl, I have written about one to five pages every day - on napkins, on scrap paper, in notebooks and tablets, on the walls in my room as a teenager, and in orange paint on the cheap white plastic blinds in my room.
Just ten of the Jewish billionaires on this Earth have more than enough to transform the occupied territories into heaven. We can put the 'pal' back in Palestinian.
I'm a farmer now, and it's fantastic. My goal is to be totally self-sufficient and grow everything that I eat. There's something about earning your dinner that's cool.
Patriarchy is impotent and qualitatively unable to solve even the most simple problems in the cosmos such as picking up their own socks or placing a carton of milk back in the refrigerator after drinking from it.
The end of my addiction to fame happened at the exact moment 'Roseanne' dropped out of the top ten, in the seventh of our nine seasons. It was mysteriously instantaneous!
When I used to watch comedians with my dad, he laid it all out for me. He wanted to be a comedian himself, and he was so funny. We'd watch stand-up on TV, and he'd tell me the subtext of what they were saying.
I always felt that it was easier to take a funny person and teach them to write television than to take somebody who was a television writer and make them funny. And I discovered a lot of great writers that went on to do a lot of great shows like 'Seinfeld,' 'Friends,' you know, 'Three and a Half Men.'

Happy Birthday Burt Lancaster!
Take the feeling of hunger out of your gut, and you're no longer a champion.
Solange man neugierig ist, kann einem das Alter nichts anhaben.
You have to fight against being an antique.
Optimismus ist meist eine Folge ungenügender Information.
I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee.
Solange man hinter einer Frau herläuft, hat man nichts zu befürchten. Gefährlich wird es erst, wenn man sie eingeholt hat.
Sell yourself first, if you want to sell anything.
Ich glaube, daß man alt wird, wenn die Wißbegierde nachläßt.
A circus is like a mother in whom one can confide and who rewards and punishes.
In Hollywood arbeitet man hart, um eine Traumvilla zu bauen, und arbeitet dann noch viel härter, um sie seiner geschiedenen Frau wieder abzukaufen.
My brother never had me to dinner in his life.
Um eine Schurkenrolle richtig zu spielen, muß man kein Schurke sein - es genügt, wenn man sich in seinem Bekanntenkreis umsieht.
Obviously I am not the young man who came to Hollywood in 1946.

I have turned down a lot of garbage lately.
I am interested in being in pictures that I would like to see.

Happy World Vegan Day! Happy Weltvegantag!
If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't
done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of
murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a
bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and
ask him if it hurts.
Ellen DeGeneres
Alles, was der Mensch den Tieren antut, kommt auf den Menschen wieder zurück.
Pythagoras
If slaughterhouses had glass walls, the whole world would be vegetarian.
Linda McCartney
Es ist die größte Befleckung, Leben zu entreißen und edle Glieder hineinzuschlingen.
Empedokles
We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.
Gary L. Francione
Sie sollen sich lieber an den gesunden Kohl und an Getreidebrei halten als an Fasane und Perlhühner.
Plinius der Ältere
A human body in no way resembles those that were born for ravenousness; it hath no hawk’s bill, no sharp talon, no roughness of teeth, no such strength of stomach or heat of digestion, as can be sufficient to convert or alter such heavy and fleshy fare. But if you will contend that you were born to an inclination to such food as you have now a mind to eat, do you then yourself kill what you would eat. But do it yourself, without the help of a chopping-knife, mallet or axe, as wolves, bears, and lions do, who kill and eat at once. Rend an ox with thy teeth, worry a hog with thy mouth, tear a lamb or a hare in pieces, and fall on and eat it alive as they do. But if thou had rather stay until what thou eat is to become dead, and if thou art loath to force a soul out of its body, why then dost thou against nature eat an animate thing? There is nobody that is willing to eat even a lifeless and a dead thing even as it is; so they boil it, and roast it, and alter it by fire and medicines, as it were, changing and quenching the slaughtered gore with thousands of sweet sauces, that the palate being thereby deceived may admit of such uncouth fare.
Plutarch
Es wird die Zeit kommen, in welcher wir das Essen von Tieren ebenso verurteilen, wie wir heute das Essen von unseresgleichen, die Menschenfresserei, verurteilen.
Leonardo da Vinci
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
Die fleischlose Diät ernährt einen Menschen vollständig, verlängert sein Leben und heilt solche Krankheiten oder beugt ihnen vor, welche wir der Schärfe oder Unreinheit des Blutes zuschreiben.
Albrecht von Haller
Violence begins with the fork.
Mahatma Gandhi
Die religiöse Ehrfurcht vor dem, was unter uns ist, umfasst natürlich auch die Tierwelt und legt dem Menschen die Pflicht auf, die unter ihm stehenden Geschöpfe zu ehren und zu schonen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Happy Dia de los Muertos!
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Thomas Campbell
He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.
Henry Wadsworth
He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Oh, may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again.
George Eliot
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
William Penn
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
Mark Twain
Hay más tiempo que vida.
Se me subió el muerto.
Ya ni en la paz de los sepulcros creo.
Al vivo todo le falta y al muerto todo le sobra.
Al diablo la muerte, mientras la vida nos dure.
A mí la muerte me pela los dientes.
Quien con la esperanza vive, alegre muere.
El muerto y el arrimado a los tres días apestan.
Estaba la flaca comiendo un buñuelo,
sentada en el parque con vestido y sombrero
Mirando a la gente y pelando los dientes
aguardaba impaciente sosteniendo un pañuelo.
Ya nadie pela a la parca en esa banca del parque
pues todos dicen estar ocupados
por lo que ha decidido cambiar de oficio
cobrando la hora de a veinte centavos.

Happy Halloween! May trick or treat be with you!
Eat, drink and be scary.
If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween.
Douglas Coupland
We were a family that made our Halloween costumes. Or, more accurately, my mother made them. She took no suggestions or advice. Halloween costumes were her territory. She was the brain behind my brother's winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips.
Ann Hood
It's said that All Hallows' Eve is one of the nights when the veil between the worlds is thin - and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright.
Erin Morgenstern
But I love Halloween, and I love that feeling: the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner.
Evan Peters
On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.
Rodney Dangerfield
The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It's unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there's a ton of it left over.
Lewis Black
I love the spirit of Halloween and the energy that comes with it.
Katharine McPhee
There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.
Jean Baudrillard
If ever there was a holiday that deserves to be commercialized, it's Halloween. We haven't taken it away from kids. We've just expanded it so that the kid in adults can enjoy it, too.
Cassandra Peterson
Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on.
River Phoenix
I love horror. I love 'The Shining,' 'Friday the 13th,' 'Halloween,' all those kinds of things. I love zombies, especially '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later,' where the zombies are going faster than the George Romero ones. I love being scared; there's something that's awesome about your heart rate going up like that.
Ricky Schroder
This Halloween, the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.
Conan O'Brien

Happy Birthday John Keats!
A Draught Of Sunshine
Hence Burgundy, Claret, and Port,
Away with old Hock and madeira,
Too earthly ye are for my sport;
There's a beverage brighter and clearer.
Instead of a piriful rummer,
My wine overbrims a whole summer;
My bowl is the sky,
And I drink at my eye,
Till I feel in the brain
A Delphian pain -
Then follow, my Caius! then follow:
On the green of the hill
We will drink our fill
Of golden sunshine,
Till our brains intertwine
With the glory and grace of Apollo!
God of the Meridian,
And of the East and West,
To thee my soul is flown,
And my body is earthward press'd. -
It is an awful mission,
A terrible division;
And leaves a gulph austere
To be fill'd with worldly fear.
Aye, when the soul is fled
To high above our head,
Affrighted do we gaze
After its airy maze,
As doth a mother wild,
When her young infant child
Is in an eagle's claws -
And is not this the cause
Of madness? - God of Song,
Thou bearest me along
Through sights I scarce can bear:
O let me, let me share
With the hot lyre and thee,
The staid Philosophy.
Temper my lonely hours,
And let me see thy bowers
More unalarm'd!

Happy Birthday Carlo Pedersoli! Happy Birthday Bud Spencer!
In Natur seht ihr ja noch schlimmer aus!
Arbeiten alleine klingt schon furchtbar und dann noch mit meinem Bruder, dieser faulen Sau!
Du musst dir mal die Zunge besohlen lassen!
Nein, ich mag den nicht. Aber ich respektiere ihn wegen des Geldes. Er hat viel mehr erreicht als Carlo Pedersoli.
Bud Spencer würde jedem, der ihn stört, eine verpassen. Ich dagegen lehne Gewalt ab.
Ich liebe das gute Essen. Und je älter man wird, umso mehr spürt man, dass Essen wie Sex ist, ein körperliches Lustgefühl, das mitunter zu einer Art Orgasmus führt.
Essen hat mit Sexualität nichts zu tun. Der große Unterschied zwischen beidem ist, dass man sehr wohl ohne Sex leben kann, ohne Essen jedoch nicht.
Es ist falsch, nach dem Glück zu suchen, denn es versteckt sich in den Wünschen. Wenn du es erlangst, ist es schon wieder woanders. Das gilt für die Liebe genauso wie für Geld.
Wenn Du in den Spiegel schaust und siehst, dass Du älter geworden bist, dann ahme das Geräusch eines Furzes nach und sage 'Scheiß drauf'!
Weil ich ihm ein Mittel gegen abstehende Ohren besorgt habe. Gewonnen aus dem gemeinen Unkraut Corruptas Ministerias, ein Gewächs, das häufig an Regierungsgebäuden wuchert!
Hat dir eigentlich schon mal einer mit einem Vorschlaghammer einen Scheitel gezogen?
Ich mache seit 30 Jahren das gleiche und will das so.
Er ist nicht besonders schlau - aber ich bin mächtig stolz darauf, dass Kinder ihn so lieben.
