Anna Quindlen Quotes

Socialized medicine, some still cry, but it’s long been socialized, with those covered paying for those who are underinsured. American medicine is simply socialized badly, penny wise and pound foolish Picture Quote #1

Each instance of sexual harassment has to be judged on its merits. Facts, timing, motives, credibility: all must be considered before we make up our own minds what to believe Picture Quote #1

When an actress takes off her clothes onscreen but a nursing mother is told to leave, what message do we send about the roles of women? Picture Quote #1

If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me, I could fit in at least one, maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children Picture Quote #1

If you want something, it will elude you. If you do not want something, you will get ten of it in the mail Picture Quote #1

Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle Picture Quote #1

Look back, to slavery, to suffrage, to integration and one thing is clear. Fashions in bigotry come and go. The right thing lasts Picture Quote #1

The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you’d never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools Picture Quote #1

I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves Picture Quote #1

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home Picture Quote #1

The joy of someone who had been a reader all her life, whose world had been immeasurably enlarged by the words of others Picture Quote #1

Trying to be perfect may be inevitable for people who are smart and ambitious and interested in the world and its good opinion... What is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself Picture Quote #1
