Haiti is always talking about decentralization and nothing has been so obvious perhaps a weakness as the centralized nature of Haitian society as being revealed by the earthquake. I mean they lost all these medical training programs because they didn't have them anywhere else.

The patient's autonomy always always should be respected even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.

Mind you I've always been a very off-message type of fat broad one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people so there's no virtue in that it's the way one is raised.

I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.

People used to say my son looked like a Mexican Biggie. And when he was first born memories of Biggie... you know we didn't always have the greatest days. For at least half the length of our marriage we were separated so everyday was definitely not a good day.

When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side even if you're in your 30s it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl and I believe in marriage and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this.

I've always wanted to be independent and answer for myself. That probably is the part of me I would class to be feminist. I'd like to have children marriage I have a bit of an issue with.

I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.

Marriage may often be a stormy lake but celibacy is almost always a muddy horse pond.

I've always believed the two best anti-poverty programs are work and marriage.

I figure no matter how old you are it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces but then as my mother always says 'You can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.'

My parents' marriage was very rocky. They were always arguing. When they split up when I was in my 20s my brother and I were both delighted because we knew they weren't good for each other.

A marriage contract to me is as binding as any in business and I have always believed in sticking to an agreement.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces but then as my mother always says you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.

I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman I'm called a bigot.

I have to be asked I guess but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic and I always have been.

In marriage it's always that give and take and rebalancing that we have to do in how we can help each other. But I have been known at times by my sons that is the name that they call me-the Mitt stabilizer.

I am very old-fashioned about marriage. It is for life and I mean it. I always knew that when I met the right girl the life I had before - being single in a band girls everywhere - would be over.

Now I'm a wife and a mother of two. It's a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage because that's what it's like to be together for so long and go through what we've been through. I can't really have that relationship with them anymore.

I always felt that a marriage works best at a farm... where you're together and everybody has clear-cut roles they have chores 'you take care of this' and you know. But it's hard.

I've always been clear I support the traditional definition of marriage.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
