The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids career and I travel and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

I have wandered all my life and I have also traveled the difference between the two being this that we wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

The attention of a traveller should be particularly turned in the first place to the various works of Nature to mark the distinctions of the climates he may explore and to offer such useful observations on the different productions as may occur.

Traveling you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities places exchange their form order distances a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.

You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.

If I could wake up in a different place at a different time could I wake up as a different person?

Young poets bewail the passing of love old poets the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

The intellectual is different from the ordinary man but only in certain sections of his personality and even then not all the time.

I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career running time and time again. I made a difference. I put in place the things I wanted to do.

The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.

I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely.

I'm thankful for the work that feminists like Gloria Steinem have done. I am a feminist but the geography for women today is vastly different than it was in the '60s.

I feel like I still am struggling in a lot of different ways. I still have to fight for certain things. Certain jobs. At least I'm working and I'm thankful for that.

I progressed through so many different styles of music through my teen years both as a player and a vocalist particularly the jazz and pop of the early 20th Century.

Material Girls was so different for me I'd never done a teen movie.

Yeah I spent my teen years in West Virginia and when I was a kid in Louisiana. I definitely have that exposure to two different sorts of rural: the South and Appalachia.
