It is so easy to exist instead of live.
Anna Quindlen
I conveniently forgot to remember that people only have two hands, or, as another parent once said of having a third child, it's time for a zone defense instead of man-to-man.
Anna Quindlen
It makes me angry to think that . . . female sanitation workers will spend their days doing a job most of their co-workers think they can't handle, and then they will go home and do another job most of their co-workers don't want.

Anna Quindlen
A life of unremitting caution, without the carefree - or even, occasionally, the careless - may turn out to be half a life.

There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger.
Anna Quindlen
It's an odd kind of feeling because it sort of reminds me of being five again. When you're a five-year-old, you don't pay any attention to what anyone thinks of you. You just sort of are in your skin.
Anna Quindlen
The difference between government and leadership is that leadership has a soul.
Anna Quindlen
New York is a city where it's particularly hard to be poor, not only because everything costs twice as much as it does elsewhere but because over-the-top affluence is part of its identity.
Anna Quindlen
Over the last twenty years, we've changed the world just enough to make it radically different, but not enough to make it work.
Anna Quindlen
And a great misunderstanding is that children think their parents are grown-up, and parents feel obliged to act as if they were.
Anna Quindlen
Ignorance is death. A closed mind is a catafalque.
Anna Quindlen
Being a reporter is as much a diagnosis as a job description.
Anna Quindlen
I am an affirmative action hire.
Anna Quindlen
All parents should be aware that when they mock or curse gay people, they may be mocking or cursing their own child.
