It's my view that any conservative who loves his country has to be extremely concerned.

One thing I have seen over and over again in life is that there is virtually no correlation between intelligence and common sense. IQ doesn't seem to translate that way.

Doubt . . . impels a search for the truth. It opens the door to knowledge. Faith puts a lock on the door. Indeed, . . . faith anesthetizes the desire to seek knowledge and truth.

Winning is often simply getting up off the ground one more time than your opponent.

And I believe the truth is mighty, and shines by its own light.

I view myself primarily as a trial lawyer who happens to be writing, as opposed to a writer who happens to be a trial lawyer, so the audience is like a jury to me.

Waiting for the conspiracy theorists to tell the truth is a little like leaving the front-porch light on for Jimmy Hoffa.

My only master, my only mistress are the facts and the evidence. So if I reach a conclusion, it's only because the evidence took me there.

[Faith] is nothing more than wishful thinking, and the wish is no evidence of anything beyond itself. Yet so many religious people take their wishes for reality.

I may have implied on several occasions to several different people that I may have been Jesus Christ, but I haven't decided yet what I am or who I am.

A very beautiful honey blonde, Sharon Tate, looked into the eyes of the man who the evidence shows just four and a half months later would order her tragic and violent death.

Power has a social function.

Sometimes it's not what you say, Valkyrie, it's just the fact that you're saying it.

I have two speeds. Fast and faster. I don't just run. I take it.

If your opponent is at a distance, kick him in the groin. If he gets close, poke him in the eyes, bring up your knee, pop him with an elbow, dig a corkscrew punch to his stomach.

The last time I saw a brow that low I was watching slides in anthropology class

My son walked up to Nicole on the beach and I was throwing the ball for the dogs in the ocean... I was like, Max you get the dogs. I’ll talk to the hot blondes.

One thing I will commit to the people of Ohio is, when I'm a U.S. senator and there's issues being debated in Washington, when I'm a U.S. senator they'll know exactly what my position is.

Woody's [Allen] very relaxed with the cast and likes them to do their thing and is not an over-director type. Somehow it works.

We're still under the weight of this impression that the ocean is too big to fail, that the planet is too big to fail.

There's such an advantage to being involved in the day-to-day details of each other's lives. It's a marvelous fabric to exist in.
