We can't make China a friend, but we can behave to make them an enemy.

We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order coming out of the collapse of the US-Soviet antagonisms.

An idea can be as flawless as can be, but its execution will always be full of mistakes.

First of all, I think the Saudis are deeply concerned about the collapse of negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians and the resumption of conflict.

Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.

Saddam's ouster will not necessarily lead to the same result, since Iraq lacks democratic traditions. Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

But there is scant evidence to tie Saddam to terrorist organizations, and even less to the Sept. 11 attacks.

It is beyond dispute that Saddam Hussein is a menace.

After all, we didn't bring democracy to Germany in 1945; Hitler destroyed democracy there first.

My point was that removing Saddam should not have been our highest priority. Fighting terrorism should have been our number one concern, followed by the Palestinian peace process.

You never stand beside the same river twice; you have to keep looking upstream.

You always do that with movie musicals. You prerecord and then you lip-synch to playback.

I hate being the only mortal in a gathering full of Immortals who think killing each other cleverly is the height of good manners.

And for just a fleeting moment, a tiny wisp of time that hung in the air like fireflies in summer skies, she wondered if she was in love with him again.

We are slaves to whatever we don't understand.

We do not write as we want, but as we can.

But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.

Believe in your passions and act on them.
