Personal Life
"Jim Goad may in fact be the bad man his wife, his girlfriend, the State of Oregon and numerous others said he is, but he's also a man of principle. You may disagree with his ethics, they may even repulse you, but you can't deny that he's thought them through, can articulate them with unusual clarity, tries to live by them more faithfully than you live by yours and if you debated him on them he'd probably kick your ass. Figuratively speaking, of course."
—John Strausbaugh, 2002

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The pursuit of Fashion is the attempt of the middle class to co-opt tragedy. In adopting the clothing, speech, and personal habits of those in straitened, dangerous, or pitiful circumstances, the middle class seeks to have what it feels to be the exigent and nonequivocal experiences had by those it emulates.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“Just so hollow and ineffectual, for the most part, is our ordinary conversation. Surface meets surface. When our life ceases to be inward and private, conversation degenerates into mere gossip.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
