I'm getting grumpier all the time..

It is hidden but always present..

I don't love everything I do, and I don't always like how I am in it. I'm not always pleased..

Unless you go forward then you are going back..

I am not a neoconservative. I am pro-American..

It's not the words but the music that counts..

The military caste did not originate as a party of patriots, but as a party of bandits.

Dilettantism is the sort of thing one must avoid..

Neither fear nor resist change - cultivate it..

God never violates the trust we put in Him..

There's only one truth about war: people die..

Music to me is life. It's what gets me going..

Every true artist is at war with the world..

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn..

It is open to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely….

I never tried to kill myself or anything..

We are the sum total of our experiences..

Beauty exists where you least expect to find it..

I keep everything that's private private..

I think the War on Terror has succeeded in creating more terror, more terrorists, a less safe America, and a less safe world..

No faith is our own that we have not arduously won..
