The human world is made of stories, not people.
You've got to dream a little bit if you're going to get somewhere.
My experience is that if the military didn't want to use force and was confronted with a president that did, the military would come back with what I would call the 'bomb Moscow' scenario. They would say it had to be done with conditions that were so extreme, you obviously wouldn't do it.
You don't get gushers of revenue by raising tax rates. You get it through expansion.
I don't know how you define 'neoconservatism,' but I think it's associated with trying to spread open political systems and democracy.
The minute you start talking about what you're going to do if you lose, you have lost.
He who walks in the middle of the road gets hit from both sides.
Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life.
I don't actually talk about my books much, because I find if I talk about them I don't want to write them anymore. I write to find out what happens. You know how you read a book? That's what I'm doing except I'm just doing it a lot slower because it takes a lot longer to do.
I sound like such a tool, but becoming a mother has made me next-level confident. I've never felt more empowered.
I did publish a Bill once called "Common Sense" with a new constitution for Europe called the "Commonwealth of Europe," setting it all out - what it's rights were, how it would work. And I think that that will be where is has to go. But I'm not anti-European, I'm just a democrat, a very committed democrat. I don't see why the hell I should obey a law made by someone I didn't elect and can't remove.
