Pierce Brosnan

America is the only high income nation without a paid family leave program.

Kirsten Gillibrand

You have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its mommy.

Anguish over the loss of a loved one or feelings of helplessness have complex roots. But in the end, they make you feel bad because they adjust your brain’s chemistry.

That’s what stress management is about, that’s what psychotherapy is about, finding religion, or finding your loved one or your hobby – any of those, they give you more outlets, more of a sense of control, more of a sense of predictability, of social support. They give you the means to psychologically finesse ambiguous outside reality. Robert Sapolsky
