'Friends' started because Rachel left her husband at the altar. This likability factor is just so stupid to me. It's the same thing as 'wish-fulfillment,' which is a big word you hear in a lot of Hollywood rooms.

What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while. What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.

I wish the constitution, which is offered, had been made more perfect; but I sincerely believe it is the best that could be obtained at this time.

When we lose sight of God we become hard and dogmatic.

Oswald Chambers
