I'm always on the road, and i drive rental cars. sometimes i don't know what's going on with the car, and i'll drive for ten miles with the emergency brake on. that doesn't say a lot for me, but it doesn't say a lot for the emergency brake. what kind of emergency is this? i need to not stop now. it's not really an emergency brake, it's an emergency make-the-car-smell-funny lever.

I did marry, i did get pregnant, but as i was giving birth, my daughter and i almost died. we were rushed to the hospital. i had an emergency cesarean and in that moment, in the emergency room, i felt my grandmother come to me. she was with me and when my daughter was born, instead of naming her hailey, i named her lucy after my grandmother. hailey lives in the pages of my books.

So my grandmother was not without humanity. and if she wore cocktail dresses when she labored in the garden, they were cocktail dresses she no longer intended to wear to cocktail parties. even in her rose garden she did not want to appear underdressed. if the dresses got too dirty from gardening, she threw them out. when my mother suggested to her that she might have them cleaned, my grandmother said, "what? and have those people at the cleaners what i was doing in a dress to make it that dirty?" from my grandmother i learned that logic is relative.

Hazel has to realize that her mom was wrong when she said, “i won’t be a mother anymore.” the truth is, after hazel dies (assuming she dies), her mom will still be her mom, just as my grandmother is still my grandmother even though she has died. as long as either person is still alive, that relationship survives. (it changes, but it survives.)

Emergency does not increase granted power or remove or diminish the restrictions imposed upon power granted or reserved. the constitution was adopted in a period of grave emergency. its grants of power to the federal government and its limitations of the power of the states were determined in the light of emergency, and they are not altered by emergency.

One thing i did have under my belt was, my mother lost her mother when she was 11. she mourned her mother her whole life and made my grandmother seem present even though i never met her. i couldn't imagine how my mom could go on but she did, she took care of us, she worked two jobs and had four children. she was such a good example of how to conduct oneself in a time of grief. when i lost my husband, i tried to model myself as much as i could on her.

Jeb bush's brother neil said that their mother has 'come around' to the idea of jeb running for president in 2016. because if there's anything that says you're qualified to be president, it's your own mom saying, 'i guess you could do it.'

Sorry, mom. sorry, god.

Promiscuous ... was a word i had never applied to myself. possibly no one ever does, for it is a sordid word, reducing many valuable moments to nothing more than doglike copulation.
