Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'
All that I have said and done,
Now that I am old and ill,
Turns into a question till
I lie awake night after night
And never get the answers right.
Richard Nixon looks like a flaming liberal today, compared to a golem like George Bush. Indeed. Where is Richard Nixon now that we finally need him?
I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.
Gore Vidal said "Nixon is us, we are Nixon." I think we have to acknowledge that combination of idealism and sleaze; we want to be better than we are, and we sometimes don't face up to the real questions.
I think I hoped for something more. Maybe I even hoped that I could find in Richard what I had with Ben.

I sometimes lie awake at night and try to imagine what would be the best period in history to spend one's seventy-odd years.
[democrats] hated Richard Nixon, and no wonder. It was Nixon who sent Alger Hiss to jail, and Nixon who waged the Vietnam War after the Democrats gave up.
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and wonder if my life would be different if I had to do it over... Then a voice comes to me out of the dark that says, "boy, there's an original thought!
[On Richard M. Nixon:] Americans began with a president who couldn't tell a lie and now they have one who can't tell the truth.
Richard Nixon was a very intelligent and able man. And he had the right ideas. But he did not have the adherence to principles that [Ronald] Reagan had. He did some very good things. We owe to Richard Nixon the volunteer army - he got rid of the draft. And that was a major increase in freedom.
Sometimes I think I'm funny. But then sometimes I see myself, and I think, 'There's somebody trying to be funny.'
I miss Nixon. Compared to these Nazis we have in the White House now, Richard Nixon was a flaming liberal.
