“Trump is to business what professional wrestling is to sports: part of it, certainly, but also a cartoonish parody of it.”
Maggie Haberman, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America

Sebastian Junger
“Self-serving leaders can literally get people killed. But in any society, leaders who aren’t willing to make sacrifices aren’t leaders, they’re opportunists, and opportunists rarely have the common good in mind. They’re easy to spot, though: opportunists live reflexively, blame others for failure, and are unapologetic cowards.”
Sebastian Junger, Freedom

Clyde Edgerton
“Mr. Lowery gave a talk Wednesday night at prayer meeting about secular humanists. He said they were all over the place.”
“What are they, anyway? I keep reading about them.”
“Well, they do all these secular things for one thing and you just don’t know when one’s liable to break in your bedroom and start doing some of it.”
Clyde Edgerton, Walking Across Egypt

“[White House Chief of Staff and Four-Star General John] Kelly shared with [Mick} Mulvaney {who was appointed when Kelly resigned] his view that Trump was the most flawed person he had ever met.”
Maggie Haberman, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America

“It had never been that addicts don’t care whether they lived or died, it was that the feeling you were chasing rested right against the brink and sometimes you just fell over.”
David Joy, When These Mountains Burn
