King of Kings - Ambition and Governance in Ancient Rome
Pontius Pilate: [sarcastically]
Judea. A fine wedding present your father gave me.
Claudia:
My dear Pontius, it is said whoever can govern Jerusalem can govern anywhere, even Rome.
Pontius Pilate:
Do you think Tiberius really has me in mind as his successor in Rome?
Claudia:
I wish I knew my father's mind as well as I know my husband's ambition.

The Sure Thing - Embrace Life to Enhance Your Writing
Professor Taub: [commenting on students' papers; class laughs; class hoots, hollers, and high-fives]
Miss Bradbury. You, on the other hand, you express your ideas very clearly. Except that, your paper is dry, Alison. There's not enough of *you* coming through. Loosen up, Alison. Have some fun! Yes, sleep when you feel like it, not when you think you should. Eat food that is bad for you - at least once in a while. Have conversations with people whose clothes are not color coordinated. Make love in a hammock! Life is the ultimate experience, and you have to live it to write about it.
Professor Taub:
Yes, Alison?
Alison:
What did you say after "hammock?

The Sure Thing - A Night of Longing and Uncertainty
Professor Taub: [reading Gib's paper aloud]
It could be tonight, he thought as he stood in the corner, pretending to have a good time. He would meet her tonight. All his young life, he had dreamed of a girl like this. 5'6, silky hair, trim, nubile body. Nubile, by the way, is spelled with a "u". Trim, nubile body that really knew how to move. And soft, deeply tanned skin. Now as for personality traits, she needed only one. She had to love sex and all the time. To arrive at this moment, he had traveled vast distances enduring many hardships. Abject poverty, starvation, show tunes, you name it. From across the room, he saw her. She was perfect. He knew almost nothing about her and she didn't know much more about him. It was exactly how it was supposed to be. He brought her to his room. The lights were soft, the moment was right. Then she leaned over and whispered in his ear, Do you love me? Thoughts raced through his mind. Did she really want him? What had he done to deserve this bounty? Does God exist? Who invented liquid soap and why? Do you love me? Staring into her eyes he knew that she really needed to hear it but for the first time in his life, he knew these were no longer just words and if he said it, it would be a lie. Do you love me? she whispered. Do you love me? It would not be tonight. The answer was no.
