Reading is an activity subsequent to writing: more resigned, more civil, more intellectual.
Having a kid who begged for 'just a few more minutes' of television was the antithesis of what I had hoped parenthood would be. It was resigning ourselves to a universe of want and consumption.
If we resist our passions, it is more due to their weakness than our strength.
No American ambassador has produced more Security Council Resolutions on the issue of Iran than John Bolton.
The American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand.
