~By Zakk Wylde ~

~By Yeardley Smith ~
I think it's a question which particularly arises over women writers: whether it's better to have a happy life or a good supply of tragic plots.
~By Wendy Cope ~

~By H. L. Mencken ~
I have to think that I think it's always been a horse race between this administration's temporary political acumen and their completely, utterly, totally bankrupt policies. And they're coming home to roost. It was always a question of time. These guys aren't conservative. These guys are radicals.
~By Bradley Whitford ~

~By Richard Parks Bland ~

~By Caleb Cushing ~

~By Cotton Mather ~

~By Ellen Muth ~
Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.

~By Carlos Castaneda ~
What does that represent? There was never any question in plastic art, in poetry, in music, of representing anything. It is a matter of making something beautiful, moving, or dramatic - this is by no means the same thing.
~By Fernand Leger ~
Without question, conditions in the Haiti are worse since Aristide's removal, and continue to deteriorate.
~By Charles Rangel ~

~By Dag Hammarskjold ~
Let me pose you a question. Can farm-raised salmon be organic when its feed has nothing to do with its natural diet, even if the feed itself is supposedly organic, and the fish themselves are packed tightly in pens, swimming in their own filth?
~By Mark Bittman ~
Today's white majority is largely silent about the race question.
~By Constance Baker Motley ~

~By Wislawa Szymborska ~
By nature's kindly disposition most questions which it is beyond a man's power to answer do not occur to him at all.
~By George Santayana ~
So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal.
~By Clare Short ~
I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.
~By Leo Durocher ~
One of the fundamental questions of today's world is undoubtedly the question of equitable globalisation.
