QUOTES
I
do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe
this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love,
to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.
Defend
us from fundamentalism abroad but don't turn a blind eye to the fundamentalism
of a diminished citizenry through loss of civil liberties, of dangerously heightened
presidential autonomy through acts of Congress, and of this country's mistaken
and pervasive belief that its "manifest destiny" is to police the world.
I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt,
truly, by one.
There's
a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored
or discouraged.
