More From Patrick Duffy

Once the law, properly enacted, is routinely ignored, and ignored with the blessing and the promotion of the political class, then you have a breakdown of organized society. and there is nothing compassionate about what's happening to the people of arizona. there is nothing compassionate about the violation of private property rights. there is nothing compassionate about the abuse of the taxpayer. there is nothing compassionate about the closing of schools and hospitals. nothing at all compassionate about increased drug trafficking and crime. nothing compassionate about that at all.

Of all the questions i'm asked, the most difficult is, "how does it feel to be famous?" since i'm not, that question always catches me with a feeling of surrealism....i've got three kids and i've changed all their diapers, and when it's two o'clock in the morning and you're changing something that's sort of special delivery with one eye open and one eye shut you don't feel famous.

Always maintain the attitude of a student. if you think you've done learning, bitterness sets in, but if you have more to achieve every day, in any arena, that makes each morning's awakening full of potential and cheery portent.

It came to mr. blood, as he trudged forward under the laden apple-trees on that fragrant, delicious july morning, that man—as he had long suspected—was the vilest work of god, and that only a fool would set himself up as a healer of a species that was best exterminated.
