Obama's attitude toward the rule of law is apparent in the words he used to describe what he is looking for in a nominee to replace Justice David Souter.

It's fine until people try to cheer you up with gems like, 'snap out of it' or 'Come on, now'.

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

Alber Elbaz

I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.

Alber Elbaz
