Tried Quotes

There’s always, I guess, a philosophy that if you come in, you want to change all the parts, you want to change everything over.

People may have thought that we changed a lot. I don’t think we came in with that intention. Certain things I can’t stomach. But I tried to be as collegial as possible. When you sign that contract, you’re tied to that opera house to try your best. But every different team will play with a different intensity Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to be inclusive in my 2B’ series.

I always tried to learn Greek, but all I got out of it was, poulaki mou. [My little chicken.] Picture Quote #1

Instead, I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce, with child custody, with so many other avenues; and it has not helped Picture Quote #1

As any sin passes through its stages from temptation, to toleration, to approval, its name is first euphemized, then avoided, then forgotten. A colleague tells me that some of his fellow legal scholars call child molestation intergenerational intimacy: that’s euphemism. A good-hearted editor tried to talk me out of using the term sodomy: that’s avoidance. My students don’t know the word fornication at all: that’s forgetfulness Picture Quote #1

I had what you could call a chaotic childhood. My parents divorced when I was 2; I went back and forth between my mom’s and dad’s houses for years.
