Quote examples
Margo Jefferson
American Critic
I would certainly say that my life, and perhaps human life in general, follows an intricate pattern of defining, declaring, struggling for, fighting for what we think of and treasure as the self. The inviolate self. This begins with our families: your parents are part of your cultural landscape, and they are also shaped by larger forces than them.
Quote examples
Tom Shales
American Writer

D. A. Pennebaker
American Director
