Because it is a dream, there are so many contradictions and I have to adjust them to make the story work. But, in principle, the original dream does not change." "I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision." "Mere humans who root through their refrigerators at three o’clock in the morning can only produce writing that matches what they do. And that includes me."

And as one Nation under God, we know that many times our most powerful tool is prayer."― Nick Rahall "So we just hope that all of these governors who are grappling will be able to provide the basic services to our citizens and not have to cut things that really are painful."― Jennifer Granholm "Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good."― Calvin Coolidge
