"It's the old American Double Standard, ya know: Say one thing, do somethin' different. And of course this country is founded on the double standard. That's our history. We were founded on a very basic double standard: This country was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free."

“If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards."

"The kingly office is entitled to no respect. It was originally procured by the highwayman's methods. It remains a perpetuated crime, can never be anything but the symbol of a crime. It is no more entitled to respect than is the flag of a pirate."

An authoritarian’s biggest win comes when he convinces the world that he’s winning, even when he isn’t, and other world leaders genuflect in obeisance as they fail in their duty to their countries and the world.

“The building, opened in 1940, features grand New Deal-era murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, Seymour Fogel and other esteemed 20th-century artists—all of which could be lost forever.”
