The heroines in ‘That’s What She Said’ are flawed, messy, damaged, hilarious and culpable and not really concerned about being acceptable to the audience in any traditional sense, which for me is what makes them all the more gorgeous.

(Acceptable Quotes)
India and China have not shied away from addressing boundary questions, have wisdom to find a fair and mutually acceptable solution... We have been able to put all issues on the table. (Acceptable Quotes)
It is no longer acceptable in British politics to be fat or eccentric or religious (Acceptable Quotes)

To be acceptable is for one to ignore his weakness while knowing his strength, to cover the scar even though it’s always there, however, to be impossible is for one to see his weakness as, not an adversary, but the cherry on top of his strength, to rearrange the scar so that it compliments his features. (Acceptable Quotes)

[The word class has] been excised from the acceptable political vocabulary, except in the limited usage of right-wingers when they accuse liberals of inciting ‘class warfare’ - a charge that means it’s okay for rich people to vote their economic interests but it’s not all right to encourage poor people to do so. (Acceptable Quotes)
