The government is us; we are the government, you and I.

The government is us; we are the government, you and I.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that in a functioning democratic society, the government is not a separate entity but rather a representation of the people it governs. It implies that citizens collectively hold the power and responsibility to shape the decisions and actions of the government. By recognizing that we are the government, it encourages active participation, engagement, and promotes the idea that government actions should be aligned with the will and interests of the people.

Rosewater was twice as smart as Billy, but he and Billy were

Rosewater was twice as smart as Billy, but he and Billy were dealing with similar crises in similar ways. They had both found life meaningless, partly because of what they had seen in war. Rosewater, for instance, had shot a fourteen-year-old fireman, mistaking for a German soldier. So it goes. And Billy had seen the greatest massacre in European history, which was the fire-bombing of Dresden. So it goes. So they were trying to re-invent themselves and their universe. Science fiction was a big help.
