Quotes

  • Israel went to extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties.
  • One of the things that fascinated me about the Chinese is whenever I would have a conversation with them about international standards or international rules of behavior, they would inevitably point out that those rules were made when they were absent from the world stage. They are no longer absent from the world stage, and so those rules need to be renegotiated with them.
  • To Deanie, who's been there every step of the way.
  • There are people in our lives who may know more about what's good for us than we do.
  • Not all of us have a moral compass on our desks, but we need to have one in our hearts. Without it, we won't live a life in which character matters.
  • Like most graduate students, I took my studies far more seriously than I had as an undergraduate. I sometimes think of my undergraduate studies as a survival reality show, but I wanted to do well in graduate school and felt I had the proper attitude and life experience to do so.
