“The Karen Ann Quinlan case is where the right to life and the right to...” — Jill Lepore Quote

The Karen Ann Quinlan case is where the right to life and the right to die got bound together, and I don't think they've ever gotten untangled.

In the last years of the nineteen-eighties, I worked not at startups but at what might be called finish-downs. Tech companies that were dying would hire temps - college students and new graduates - to do what little was left of the work of the employees they'd laid off.

When I was a kid, I used to deliver the newspaper all over town, cramming papers between screen doors and into mailboxes and under doormats.

Since childhood, I wrote a lot of fiction, a lot of stories, but I most loved writing essays.

I am bound by a contract to not accept other films until 'Mohenjo Daro's release.

Even printed, on pages that are bound, sentences remain unsettled organisms. Years later, I can always reach out to smooth a stray hair. And yet, at a certain point, I must walk away, trusting them to do their work. I am left looking over my shoulder, wondering if I might have structured one more effectively.

When you're walking in heels in a long dress, you're bound to fall at some point.

Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.

The farm women are extremely well organized and are bound to be heard from.
