"History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible." ― Paul Wolfowitz Topic(s): History More From Paul Wolfowitz "Someone once said that history has more imagination than all the scenario writers in the Pentagon, and we have a lot of scenario writers here. No one ever wrote a scenario for commercial airliners crashing into the World Trade Center." "One of the things that ultimately led me to leave mathematics and go into political science was thinking I could prevent nuclear war." "If greater openness is a key to economic success, I believe there is increasingly a need for openness in the political sphere as well."

You gotta face them, otherwise you don’t get through."― Lesley Gore "I think people in general have neglected to learn about history."― Maynard James Keenan "A Conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling ‘Stop!’"― William F. Buckley, Jr.
