I knew Buckley - he was a friend of mine - and Steve Bannon is no William F. Buckley. Buckley marginalized the kooks. Bannon empowered them.

Charlie Sykes

In my mid-adolescence, my friend Terry Martin and I became obsessed with William F. Buckley. This makes more sense when you realize that we were living in Bible Belt farming country miles from civilization. Buckley seemed impossibly exotic.

Malcolm Gladwell

I spent my career trying to speak to the broadest possible audience whether it's in print or whether it's in television.

Gwen Ifill

If you're going to stick around in this business, you have to have the ability to reinvent yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously.

I hunt because I love the entire process: the preparations, the excitement, and sustained suspense of trying to match my woodslore against the finely honed instincts of these creatures. On most days spent in the woods, I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether or not I got anything: it has to do with how the day was spent.

Fred Bear

Erich Fromm

Throughout the life cycle we consciously and unconsciously edit the events of our life, trying to give them meaning.

They don't make people like Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley anymore.

Morgan Neville

Creation is the highest form of Divinity, and your birthright. Truth is, you are creating all the time. The central question in your life is whether you are doing this consciously or unconsciously.
