It's hard to convince people that you're killing them for their own good.
Molly Ivins
I know: Guns Don't Kill People. But I suspect that they have something to do with it. If you point your finger at someone and say, Bang, bang, you're dead, not much actually happens.
Molly Ivins
I know vegetarians don't like to hear this, but God made an awful lot of land that's good for nothing but grazing.
Molly Ivins
Whenever you hear a politician carry on about what a mess the schools are, be aware that you are looking at the culprit.
Molly Ivins
The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win.
Molly Ivins
If you ever get to the place where injustice doesn't bother you, you're dead.
Molly Ivins
It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.
