“Three of the last four [elections], '06, '08, and '12, were disastrous for Republicans. And they were years in which we just we stayed quiet, we went along the get-along, we didn't stand on principle. The only year that was a good year for Republicans was 2010, when we painted in bold colors, not in pale pastels. We stood for principle. I think winning this fight right now is the most important thing we can do to see significant victories in 2014.” ThinkingYearsImportantLastsPoliticalFightingThreePoliticsWinningCan DoCommunityLeadershipJusticePartyPrinciplesFourPolicyColorVictoryRepublicanRight NowQuietElectionImportant ThingsStrategyUnitySignificantIdeologyVotingPalePolitical PartiesPartisanshipGood YearsPastel Author:Ted Cruz
“I don't feel very good about myself. People always leave me. Nobody can stand me for very long. I wish I could cut my tongue out, or take out the part of my brain that has opinions. Or cares. I wish I could be simple. Be quiet, introverted, or shy. I'm half way in between a wallflower at a party and Elvis Presley. People love one or the other.

“Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers, they're the ones who stand by the punch bowl. In a world of mixers and pub crawls, they prefer to stay home with a book.

“We stand there, quiet. My questions all seem wrong: How did you get so old? Was it all at once, in a day, or did you peter out bit by bit? When did you stop having parties? Did everyone else get old too, or was it just you? Are other people still here, hiding in the palm trees or holding their breath underwater? When did you last swim your laps? Do your bones hurt? Did you know this was coming and hide that you knew, or did it ambush you from behind?” PeopleKnowsStillsSeemsLastsBitsHurtPartyBehindsTreeQuietBreathsBonesSwimHidingPeterPalmsLapDid You KnowUnderwaterPalm TreesAmbush Book:A Visit From the Goon Squad Source: A Visit From the Goon Squad
“All I wanted was to be left alone. They abhor a vacuum, other people.
