If you thought Donald Trump was going to be swallowed up by the conventional Republican Party or by Washington, you were wrong.

This death cult has no reason and is beyond negotiation. This is what makes it so frightening. This is what causes so many to engage in a sort of mental diversion. They don't want to confront this horror. So they rush off in search of more comprehensible things to hate.

Donald Trump appalls me. I won't be shy about that.

Our emotions tell us what to value. They're like a little GPS system: Go that way. Don't go that way.

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.

Who could have predicted this, that the presidency is kind of a hard job? Nobody knew that. I also like the fact that Trump is a detail-oriented person. I find his interviews amazing. He's actually kind of remarkably candid.

If you just rely on one model, you tend to amputate reality to make it fit your model.
