The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me!

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

I'd like to do policy and I'd like to do philosophy, I'd like to be able to get into the depth, into the meat of the argument - that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

I don't think Obama's a socialist or evil, I just think he's wrong and I disagree with him, he's a leftist, that's what they are in France and in Great Britain and in Canada.

I want the American people to understand that conservatism... is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.

I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired.

In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.

My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.

My mother taught me everything I know; how to speak properly, posture, enunciation.

Her rebirth stood in her mind with the clarity of a perfect diamond, the light scattering the rainbows through her body.

Every generation has a macabre notion that wars, government prohibition, natural disasters or mankind itself could be the downfall of society and the world as a whole.

The universe is a single atom: the convergence of science and spirituality.

Books must follow sciences, and not sciences books.

When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.

Stop falling in love with everything that lets you down, even if your hands are shaking and your faith is broken, even as the eyes are closing, do it with a heart wide open. Say what you need to say.

Six, or at most seven, hours' sleep is, for a constancy, as much as you or anybody else can want; more is only laziness and dozing, and is, I am persuaded, both unwholesome and stupefying.

When we confront facts and fears, we achieve real power and unleash our capacity for change.

It is a river of ideas from which I fish out sounds that make my soul happy.

When President-elect [Donald] Trump wants to take on these issue, when his goal is to increase the economic security of middle class families, then count me in.
