Barbara Boxer Quotes

They can say I have an opinion about something.

I don't delve too deep into reviews.

It is necessary to judge accurately the things that rest on opinion

Description is hard. Remember that all description is an opinion about the world. Find a place to stand.

You don't have to lay an egg to know if it tastes good.

It all depends on the way you look at it. The point of view is everything in this world.

Criticks are like brushers of Noblemens cloaths.

One of the problems I have always discussed is the refusal to distinguish between comment and fact. The newspaper wraps every fact into a comment. It is impossible to give mere fact without establishing point of view.

Necessity is not a fact; it's an interpretation.

Opinions can't be inaccurate.

Once you have a point of view all history will back you up.

What you see from here is not what you see from there.
