You cannot export revolution, progress, by force of arms.

You have to be a soldier and a veteran, or a soldier who sacrificed your life for your country.

I think that we'd be very wise not to predict anything with Donald Trump.

Russia is a difficult country to deal with, but I think that American policy on Russia has been foolish in the extreme.

There's absolutely no reason for NATO to be sticking its fingers up the nostrils of Russia at every orifice. I mean, it's absurd. It's absolutely absurd.

I am deeply concerned about the kind of people Hillary Clinton's surrounded herself with in the past.

Our theories are the weakest part of what we say. What we're working from is the fact of an experience which we need to make sense of.

At 19, I basically held the position that if you were intellectually honest and really wanted to get in touch with political reality then you had to smell tear-gas.
