Virtually throughout its history, and certainly in the 20th century, california has been known as the place to go for dynamism and growth. it did not become the richest, most populous, and most productive state solely because of its weather and natural resources. so it takes a lot to turn california around from growth to contraction, from people moving into the state to a net exodus from the state, from business moving into california to businesses leaving california. it takes some doing. and the left has done it.

In pakistan, many of the young people read novels because in the novels, not just my novels but the novels of many other pakistani writers, they encounter ideas, notions, ways of thinking about the world, thinking about their society that are different. and fiction functions in a countercultural way as it does in america and certainly as it did in the, you know, '60s.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.

You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

If you love your company and love what you do, you will serve your customers better-period!

'sort of' is such a harmless thing to say... sort of. it's just a filler. sort of... it doesn't really mean anything. but after certain things, sort of means everything. like... after "i love you"... or "you're going to live."

I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. i love you.

I love you. i will love you till the stars crumble, which is a less idle threat than is usual to lovers on parting.
