"I like to keep up with the fashions, but I had enough of long skirts when I was a girl. My dresses suit me fine when they’re just a little below the knee, and I hope sincerely that styles never take the hemline to the ankle again."

"Yet she had no intention of retiring to a quiet life. She never wanted to be just an old lady with nothing to do."

"Rachel had definite opinions on just about any topic and had little trouble expressing herself. On the subject of women’s fashion, she was delighted to see women shortening their skirts so they no longer swept dusty, dirty streets."

"If smoking were abolished it would be a benefit to mankind. It’s all nonsense about tobacco quieting the nerves. If the men did not use it they would not be nervous."

"Representative Bell’s wisdom and guidance leading JFAC has had a profound and lasting impact on the fiscal responsibility of the state of Idaho. Her prudence extends far past her work in the legislature, making her an esteemed leader in Jerome and beyond."

"I cannot think of a more deserving person for this honor."

"Maxine epitomizes service as indicated by the many years that she represented our community in the Idaho State Legislature. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful person residing in our community. I am blessed to call her a friend and mentor. Thank you Maxine!"

"Her life has been dedicated to improving the lives of Idahoans through the power of education. Her life has been, and continues to be, a life of service."

"Her remarkable 30-year tenure in the Idaho legislature brought about great progress for the Magic Valley and strengthened our state. I’m pleased to see the Senate approve the naming of the Representative Maxine Bell Post Office in Jerome, where her legacy will inspire generations of Idahoans."

"Representative Maxine Bell dedicated her life to serving her community and the people of Idaho."

"Women are a neglected resource. They are not sufficiently recognized and their full potential is not often developed"

"We can we can discuss what it is after we've proved that it exists. It's silly to do it beforehand."

"My favorite scene is the one I’m shooting at the moment. When people ask me which of my movies is my favorite, I always say, “the next one”. Perhaps the same is true of every scene. The next one is perfect. It is finished in my mind without a flaw. Untainted by the reality of time running out, actors forgetting their lines, light dropping fast, wagon stuck in the mud or mismatched piece of clothing that must be found and brought to set."

"Growing up, I experienced this viscerally because my parents are from Nigeria, I was born and raised in America and my parents tried to hand over that identity card and that didn’t fit me because I was growing up in a context in which their identity didn’t necessarily line up with how I saw myself…"

"He’s hitting hard against what the American societal definition of what being a black man is and also a diasporic Nigerian conception of what being a black man is."

"The sometimes-negative aspect of growing up in this country without a firm cultural basis is that your entire being becomes predicated on satisfying others. And I discovered that's what I was doing…"

"We're at an era where a lot of people are beginning to step in, in a really firm way, into their identities. Whether people are saying...they're born with one sex, they say: I'm actually another gender—that's who I am; or people are claiming their cultural heritage in a more profound way than they have in the past...For any number of reasons, we have an opportunity to construct our identities that are more honest and open and true to who we are than what we've been handed at birth."

"Armed? Well, yes; I am. I have a dressing bag, a portfolio and an umbrella. I don't believe I could do much damage with these. Do I look like a Carrie Nation to you?"

"Actors are often inspired while playing by the very spirit who impressed the part upon the writer. When the actor is really mediumistic, as all great actors are whether they know it or not, the spirit may actually play the part through him."

"He knew what I was when I married him. I have been working since I was seventeen. Homes and babies are all very nice, but you can't have them and a career as well. I intended, and intend, to have a career and Valentino knew it. If he wants a housewife, he'll have to look again."

"I felt as if I had at last returned home. The first few days I was there I couldn't stop the tears streaming from my eyes. It was not sadness, but some emotional impact from the past- a returning to a place once loved after too long a time."

"I'll confess it is rather fun being courted by your own husband."

"It wasn't love at first sight. I think it was good comradeship more than anything else."

"With butlers and super-butlers, maids and the rest, what work is there for a housewife? I won't be a parasite. I won't sit home and twiddle my fingers, waiting for a husband who goes on the lot at 5:00 a.m. and gets home at midnight and receives mail from girls in Oshkosh and Kalamazoo."

"The figure in fur advanced and shook hands. At least his handshake was firm. Might I add, a little too firm for comfort."

"I shall always love the Mexican people for what the happiness they gave us that day. There was nothing that was too much for them to do."

"Whether to call myself Winifred Hudnut or Natacha Rambova or Mrs. Rodolph Valentino, I don't know. Natacha Rambova seems to belong most to me, the individual I think I am, but of course, I wasn't born that way. When I went into the Russian Ballet, though, I had to have a Russian name. That was just after my course at art school in Paris and I was seventeen, and I have been using that name ever since. I speak Russian and all that is Russian appeals to me and moreover that is what Rudy calls me."

"A sensitive personality is like a great organ. Press the keys of discord and harshness comes forth. Play the keys of beauty and melody delight are given."

"Rudy gets horribly excited when I say this, but I do declare that if they keep him from working two years more, then I will work and support us both. There are many things that I can do. I can dance. I can go back to my designing, but I don't care what it is if it only brings in enough money for him to be able to go on fighting for decent treatment and good material."

"All women love the man who appeals to their maternity. Rudy does that instinctively and it is devastating in its effects on feminine resistance."

"Fame is like a giant X-Ray. Once you are exposed beneath it, the very beatings of your heart are shown to a gaping world."

"I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book."

"They say that ninety percent of TV is junk. But, ninety percent of everything is junk."

"If it weren’t for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we’d still be eating frozen radio dinners."

"This has made it all worthwhile. (The live televised first step by Neil Armstrong on the moon.)"

"Phil saw television as a marvelous teaching tool. There would be no excuse of illiteracy. Parents could learn along with their children. News and sporting events could be seen as they were happening. Symphonies would mean more when one could see the musicians as they played, and movies would be seen in our own living rooms. He said there would be a time when we would be able to see and learn about people in other lands. If we understood them better, differences could be settled around conference tables, without going to war."

"The damned thing works! (telegram, on the first successful television broadcast)"

"There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household, and I don’t want it in your intellectual diet. (to his son, on television)"

"I wish there was a knob on the TV so you could turn up the intelligence. They got one marked “brightness” but it don’t work, does it?"

"If we have truth, [it] cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not truth, it ought to be harmed."

"For me, that aspect of my job has been tremendously rewarding. My colleagues are brilliant people with wide-ranging and impressive backgrounds. Sometimes we approach issues from quite different perspectives, or with different priorities or values in mind. Yet we always listen to each other, and our conferences are marked by vibrant debate and discussion. Our commitment to this process, in my view, is the principal mechanism for assuring that we will reach the right decision as often as possible."

"The case for originalism is quite different. It is that in our system of government, written laws (statutes and constitutional provisions) are supposed to provide stable rules around which society can organize itself. Such rules are presumed to remain in place until amended or repealed by the people. Originalism is aimed at preserving the laws enacted by the people or their representatives, and at preserving stability and predictability in our legal system."

"Sometimes the messaging is a little bit hyperbolic. But if you’re going to wait around for a march or a protest in which you’re going to agree with every single message that’s on display, you’re never going to participate. You just never will."

"Evan McMullin is trying to save democracy... McMullin is a kind of civic superego, a Constitution-minded Jiminy Cricket."

"We need strong voices from all political persuasions to help curb the excesses and dangers of Trump. Evan McMullin is one such voice."

"Evan McMullin’s campaign was always a long shot. He had no name recognition, spent most of his adult life undercover in the CIA, had no political experience to speak of, and was running with no money or support from senior Republican figures. Yet he managed in only three months to garner over 20 percent of the Utah vote and even amassed votes in other states, including more than 50,000 votes in Virginia. In Utah, he may have a chance to contend for a senate seat in 2018. In short, his campaign surpassed expectations and his run was a rare positive note in an otherwise ugly and negative campaign season. As for his new conservative movement, its success remains to be seen. But his concession speech message, that conservatives are outsiders in a Trump administration, will likely resonate. All Republican conservatives will now be forced to choose between Trump and their principles. McMullin was just ahead of the curve."

"[T]elltale signs of authoritarianism... Attacks on the press. Probably even before that, attacks on Hispanics and African-Americans. Those two things really concerned me."

"The Republican Party can no longer be considered the home for conservatives. Conservatism is about protecting the fundamental rights: That we are all equal, regardless of the color of our skin, the faith that we practice or our gender. But tonight there are millions of Americans, I’m sad to say, who are now in fear that perhaps their liberties will be challenged and threatened under a Trump administration that has made a campaign of targeting people based on their race, religion and gender. We must hold our leaders accountable now. We can no longer trust them to do it. They had their opportunity."

"It must be clear that Donald Trump is not a loyal American and we should prepare for the next four years accordingly."

"America's interests are best served when we honor our own laws and foundational ideals. We derive much of our national power from doing so."
