Goldwater hardly ever mentioned a statistic. He hardly ever used it EXAMPLE. He presumed you already knew what he meant. Reagan SHOWED you.

Almost alone among successful politicians, he took slights personally.

A candidate with no experience they would package as a citizen politician, a lifetime hack as an elder statesman.

Violent crimes had increased from 120 per 100, 000 in 1962 180 per 100, 000 by 1964.

For the first time on Planet Earth (in 1964 America), a nation was made up of more college students than farmers. An unheard-of 42% of high school graduates sought higher education.

Rebelling against the status quo was one of the definitions of conservatism.

(President) Lyndon Johnson still snapped between exultation and insecurity.

Goldwater had never even considered a non-Arizonan. Like a man on his deathbed, he wanted to be surrounded only by friends.

A confused and weak man hides his weakness and uncertainty with fiery speeches.

Goldwater's approach to any political problem invariably derived from the evidence of his own eyes.

Ronald Reagan was just as angry. But he made you want to stand right alongside him and shake your fist at the same things he was shaking his fist at.

The revelation that he was merely human, and frightfully so, was beyond my power to forgive.

Your values are your essence: an undistorted mirror showing you at your pure, attractive best.

All this Americanising and mechanising has been for the purpose of overthrowing the past. And now look at America, tangled in her own barbed wire, and mastered by her own machines.

Take your troubles to the Chapel, get down on your knees and pray. Your burdens will be lighter, and you'll surely find the way.

I'm desperate to have children. I am chomping at the bit. It's a problem. I can't imagine that I will not be a mother.

I've used a cellphone exactly twice. Things move on. The world changes. And I don't know it

In the olden times, privacy was good. Today people want to share, people are more open.

Back when I was dating, the dreaded C word was Commitment. As soon as most men found out I had a child, they ran. If I ever got close enough to say the words, 'I love you,' they ran faster.

I create my own backstory regardless of if I'm told something about the background or not. There's always more that you can develop in your head that makes a character more layered, more honest.

I like going from one lighted room to another, such is my brain to me; lighted rooms.
