"How many times had those awful words - "I know what I'm doing" - been uttered throughout history as prelude to disaster?"
"E-mails are the new herpes: You never get rid of them."
"Christopher Hitchens is the greatest living essayist in the English language."
"Reading any collection of a man's quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot.

"Nothing raises the national temperature more than a VACANCY sign hanging from the colonnaded front of the Supreme Court."
