I will hear no talk that there are no intermediate-range weapons on the NATO side.

At a certain point one ceases to defend a certain view of history; one must defend history itself.

The talk about balance, nuclear balance, seems to me to be metaphysical and doesn't seem to be real at all.

The missiles come first, and the justifications come second.

I have become a prisoner of the peace movement. But you can't say that the termination is coming and then say that you are going back to your own garden to dig.

This going into Europe will not turn out to be the thrilling mutual exchange supposed. It is more like nine middle-aged couples with failing marriages meeting in a darkened bedroom in a Brussels hotel for a group grope.

We must not look at the past with the enormous condescension of posterity.
