“I've always seen myself as a winner, even as a kid. If I hadn't, I just might have gone down the drain a couple of times.

“When you know too much information and you acquire it too easily, you tend to either use it in disagreeable ways, out of vanity, or you tend to be indiscriminate about it. I mean, in the old days, it was tricky, you had to go to various encyclopedias, you had to go to the library, maybe spend a day there, whatever. But in the end, if you found something, it was really exciting. Now you hit a couple of buttons and you get some information. Which, by the way, is almost always presented in that same goddamn mediocre style that characterizes the Internet for me. It is slightly deadening.” IfsKnowsWayMeanEndsUseFoundToo MuchStyleInformationCoupleInternetExcitingLibraryVariousVanityAcquireButtonsMediocreTrickyOld DaysDisagreeableEncyclopediaToo Much Information Author:Norman Mailer

“During the course of my presidency, it feels as if a couple times a year, I end up having to speak to the country and to speak to a particular community about a devastating loss. The grieving that the country feels is real, the sympathy, the prioritizing, the comforting of the families, all that’s important. But I think part of the point that I wanted to make was that it’s not enough just to feel bad.” IfsThinkingFeelsYearsImportantRealEndsCountryEnoughWantedCoursesSpeakCommunityLossParticularCoupleGrievingPresidencyComfortingPrioritizeDevastating Loss Author:Barack Obama
“People abhor boxing, and I agree, but I admire men and women who can stand in a ring like that, nowhere to hide. I've only been to a couple of boxing matches, and they're different from any other event. I'm not there to see blood; I'm there for the heart of someone being able to get up and keep going.
