“Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.”
Daniel J. Boorstin

With her position as a senator she's become more 'let's see which way the wind blows, and what's going to get me re-elected or elected, or how am I going to benefit from this,' instead of truly voting from her integrity.”
Cindy Sheehan
“There aren't words to characterize the emotions I'm feeling right now, ... It's wonderful, like a dream come true.”

“I honestly can't characterize my style in words. It seems that whatever comes to me naturally, I play.”
