"Come on you winefizzling, ginsizzling, booseguzzling existences! Come on, you dog-gone, bullnecked, beetlebrowed, hogjowled, peanutbrained, weaseleyed fourflushes, false alarms and excess baggage! Come on, you triple extract of infamy!"

On Positive Thinking: Willful Ignorance and Delusion

"It's cruel to take people who are having great difficulties in their lives and tell them that it is all in their heads and they only have to change their attitude."

"Biggest evidence is the financial meltdown...people who tried to raise problems in the last decade were shut up or fired...people who said 'I'm worried about our sub-prime mortgage exposure' or to point out that the housing prices could not rise forever, were fired."

Barbara Ehrenreich
