I hadn't the nerve to tell them so in the daytime, to their face, but up there it was safe. Help! Help! I shouted, just to see if it would have any effect on them. None whatsoever. Those people were pushing life and night and day in front of them. Life hides everything from people. Their own noise prevents them from hearing anything else. They couldn't care less. The bigger and taller the city, the less they care. Take it from me. I've tried. It's a waste of time. — LouisFerdinand Celine
It doesn't take a brain surgeon... or a cardiologist... or a pediatrician... or even a policy wonk to figure out that a penny's worth of preventive care is worth many dollars of sick care. — Heidi Murkoff

We have to remember that it's usually women who are making the health care decisions for their families....

We do not put enough emphasis on early childhood years. We neglect children in this society; as a society we're guilty of child neglect.

Everybody better vote and be thoughtful. — Judd Apatow
