Richard Ben Cramer
“Couple of weeks back, he was up in New Hampshire—nighttime, a living room, late already and it wasn’t the last event—and some guy stood up and asked Joe about his education. Not his education plan ... his own goddam education, like he wanted to make sure Biden went to college. Anyway, that’s how Joe heard it ... and he blew: he started yelling how he’d graduated with three degrees, went to law school on scholarship, clawed his way up from the bottom of his class—or some bullshit—he offered to compare IQs ... all with the chin out, the hectoring voice, like ... I may be stupid, but I’m Einstein next to you! ... And Ruthie Berry and Jill, who were sitting, resting, in the next room, had to scurry in and steer Joe out of there.”
Richard Ben Cramer, What It Takes: The Way to the White House

“President of the United States. What a rotten job. You’re the guy or gal who’s always to blame. The economy. Foreign policy. Drugs in the schools. Crime on the streets … It’s all your fault.”
Gregg Stebben, White House Confidential: The Little Book of Weird Presidential History

Howard Zinn
“The plight of Jews in German-occupied Europe, which many people thought was at the heart of the war against the Axis, was not a chief concern of Roosevelt. Henry Feingold’s research (The Politics of Rescue) shows that, while the Jews were being put in camps and the process of annihilation was beginning that would end in the horrifying extermination of 6 million Jews and millions of non-Jews, Roosevelt failed to take steps that might have saved thousands of lives. He did not see it as a high priority; he left it to the State Department, and in the State Department anti-Semitism and a cold bureaucracy became obstacles to action.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present

Howard Zinn
“Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present

Stacy Schiff
“Deeply idealistic — a moral people, Adams held, would elect moral leaders — he believed virtue the soul of democracy. To have a villainous ruler imposed on you was a misfortune. To elect him yourself was a disgrace.”
Stacy Schiff, The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams
