In the fight against terrorism, national agencies keep full control over their police forces, security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities.

Integrity has no need of rules.

Albert Camus

When government disappears, it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone, other interests will take their place.

Lawrence Lessig

When I retire I'm going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.

Richard Milhous Nixon

The thing is, Obama is right that it would be a calamity for the government to default on its debt by not meeting its obligations. Such a thing has never happened and can't be allowed to happen.

John Podhoretz

Mel Karmazin

And I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction, especially apocalyptic and postapocalyptic fiction.

Justin Cronin

I need a teacher quite as much as Helen. I know the education of this child will be the distinguishing event of my life, if I have the brains and perseverance to accomplish it.

Anne Sullivan Macy

I might be a beast astray, with no sense of its environment, yet there was some meaning in my foolish life, something in me gave an answer and was the receiver of those distant calls from worlds far above.

Hermann Hesse

Such is an actor's life. We must ride the waves of every film, barfing occasionally, yet maintain our dignity, even as the bulk of our Herculean efforts are keel-hauled before our very eyes. On filming MacHale's Navy

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolutewhere no Catholic prelate would tell the President how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to votewhere no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preferenceand where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.

That is the kind of America in which I believe. And it represents the
