Got nothing to do with trying. You like someone, or you don't. If you're 'trying', you don't.

A lot of people get so hung up on what they can't have that they don't think for a second about whether they really want it.

I have no end of failings as a mother, but I have always followed the rules.

One of my problems with terrorism is that it's self-evidently bad. The main thing that makes it complicated is the fact that it works. When you go at it with a moral hammer, it's really, really bad. It's so bad you wouldn't believe it because you don't accomplish anything. I think the one thing terrorists themselves are vulnerable to is mockery. It's an excellent weapon.
