History is littered with wars which everybody knew would never happen.

If I cannot understand my friend's silence, I will never get to understand his words.

I do not keep a diary. Never have. To write a diary every day is like returning to one's own vomit.

History is cyclical, and it would be foolhardy to assume that the culture wars will never return.

When I repress my emotion my stomach keeps score.

The life of nations no less than that of men is lived largely in the imagination.
