“We forgot what happened yesterday. We know all about Paris Hilton. We know about that. But what do we know about why we are there in Iraq?”
“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.”
“What did I know of your fantasies? Why do we know so little about the fantasies of our parents? What do we know of somebody if we know nothing of the images passed to him by his imagination?”
“When we know what we most fear, we know what we most care about.”
“We don’t care about what you did yesterday—we care about what you’re going to do tomorrow.”
“We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.”
