The government didn’t care about people’s feelings because it was trying to create an image."― Ai Weiwei "I love and always have loved policy issues and trying to have an impact on the issues that are out there. I cherish my years in government. I have loved my participation at CNN, at Current; writing; teaching. Where I will go next, I will have to sort out."― Eliot Spitzer
