Summary

This quote, often attributed to Kurt Vonnegut, suggests that we are currently stuck in an unchanging present moment without a clear purpose or reason. It symbolizes a feeling of being frozen in time, disconnected from the past or future. It reminds us that sometimes life's circumstances or situations don't always have logical explanations or motives, and we must learn to accept them as they are. It serves as a reminder to embrace and make the most out of the present moment, even when there may be uncertainty or lack of understanding.

Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to sit down and shut up over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people.

What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.
