It's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.

My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.

I never even had the time to read novels.

I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

I think it was my study of history that convinced me that the Democratic Party was more on the side of the average American.

I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.

We seem bent upon saving the Vietnamese from Ho Chi Minh, even if we have to kill them and demolish their country to do it....I do not intend to remain silent in the face of what I regard as a policy of madness which, sooner or later, will envelop my son and American youth by the millions for years to come.
