The software program for motherhood is impossible to fully download into the male brain. You give them two tasks and they’re like, ‘I have to change the baby and get the dry cleaning?’ – Allison Pearson
I think you could offer seven or eight different possible ends for energy policy. Climate change is one of them. Dealing with criteria pollutants is one of those related to that. – Brad Carson
What strikes me, the more I cook, is that the best recipes are ones where the basic anatomy is so sound it will survive multiple adjustments. When a recipe has good bones, you can change the seasoning, double the garlic, swap lime for lemon, and it still turns out delicious. – Bee Wilson

For policemen to be honest about the fact that they may be fearful when they come into a certain situation, not understanding what’s going to happen. The only way things will change and things will get better is if people are able to be honest without feeling like they’re going to be offended, or they’re going to offend someone else. – Benjamin Watson

I change my socks often, because I had bad bouts of athlete’s foot fungus infections as a kid. I may be able to change socks less frequently and not get the fungus. But, I’d rather not run the test to determine just how infrequently I could change socks. I don’t feel superstitious about it. – Bill Nye
