We live in a culture that encourages us to be big about ourselves, and I think the starting point of trying to build inner goodness is to be a little bit smaller about yourself.

I do not believe that anything like what Donald Trump just proposed is going to get through Congress. Those deductions have a lot of defenders. The idea that they're going to completely explode the deficit is just a party killer for the Republican parties.

I learned I'm not a science writer. I'm not very good at describing how something is happening. I try to describe "So What?"

Donald Trump didn't emerge from the orthodoxy of the Republican Party. And so there's going to be bigger differences than normal.

Parties that are majority parties are incoherent parties.

I generally think debates within a party should not be treated as a scandal. They should be treated as a sign of strength, to be honest.

If we are going to stop wars on this earth, we are going to have to make war on hunger our number one priority.
