I’ve never had a divorce, but I’ve seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can’t write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I’m able to kind of express it, or their joy.

George Bush made a mistake when he referred to the Saddam Hussein regime as ‚evil.‘ Every liberal and leftist knows how to titter at such black-and-white moral absolutism.

And I think it’s that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.

Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him.

As a matter of self-preservation, a man needs good friends or ardent enemies, for the former instruct him and the latter take him to task.

When people say ‚marriage‘ to me… It’s always a means to an end. Everyone’s so in a rush to define the relationship.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.

It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone – so far.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

There’s no political point worth my son’s life.

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

Ranking among the greatest Christmas movie classics, ‚It’s a Wonderful Life‘ tells a beautiful story about the priceless value of relationships.
