Barack Obama
“But for a younger generation of conservative operatives who would soon rise to power... They were true believers who meant what they said, whether it was 'No New Taxes' or 'We are a Christian Nation.' In fact, with their rigid doctrines, slash-and-burn style, and exaggerated sense of having been aggrieved, this new conservative leadership was eerily reminiscent of some of the New Left's leaders during the sixties. As with their left-wing counterparts, this new vanguard of the right viewed politics as a contest not just between competing policy visions, but between good and evil. Activists in both parties began developing litmus tests, checklists of orthodoxy, leaving a Democrat who questioned abortion increasingly lonely, any Republican who championed gun control effectively marooned. In this Manichean struggle, compromise came to look like weakness, to be punished or purged. You were with us or you were against us. You had to choose sides.”
Barack Obama

“Whither be the heart of Justice?
            Lo, in stone, child. Lo, in stone.
            Whither be the heart of Justice?
            Lo, tis fast in stone.”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Sherman Alexie
“Humor was an antiseptic that cleaned the deepest of personal wounds.”
Sherman Alexie, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

Dalton Trumbo
“That was the trouble with numbers. They got so big you couldn’t handle them and even if you could they got you nowhere.”
Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun

Ellen J. Lewinberg
“Since Alice spoke about energy, I think that is the next thing we must talk about. As she said, everything is energy. Not the type of energy that makes you get up in the morning, but what you and everything around you is made of. You look solid but you’re really made up of very tiny particles that are always vibrating. Even what you call air is made up of those same particles!”
Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water
