While liberals had embraced Obama as someone who had left-wing progressive ideas, the truth is that by personality he's a very incremental guy.
Anna Quindlen
Catastrophe is numerical. Loss is singular, one beloved at a time.
Anna Quindlen
I've been a feminist since I was a teenager, but originally it was because I wanted to make the world a better place for me.
Anna Quindlen
When I write a novel, I have what I think of as an icon that helps get me into the world of the book.

Sometimes we don't see out of our peripheral vision what's coming right around the corner.
Anna Quindlen
So carry your courage in an easily accessible place, the way you do your cellphone or your wallet. You may still falter or fail, but you always know that you pushed hard and aimed high. Take a leap of faith. Fear not. Courage is the ultimate career move.

Anna Quindlen
You cannot be really first-rate at your work if your work is all you are.

February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.
Anna Quindlen
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.
Anna Quindlen
We almost manage to forget that things happen that we don't anticipate.
Anna Quindlen
It's so much easier to write a resume than to craft a spirit.
Anna Quindlen
I think a lot of people, but particularly a lot of women, get to this stage when I'd say they're over 50. We face a lot of hard judgment from the world, we women. If you're a full-time mother, you should be out working. If you're out working, your kids must be being overlooked.

If God had meant Harvard professors to appear in People magazine, She wouldn't have invented The New York Review of Books.
