I believe that during the intervention of nato in kosovo there is an element nobody can question: the air attacks, the bombs, are not caused by a material interest. their character is exclusively humanitarian: what is at stake here are the principles, human rights which have priority above state sovereignty. this makes it legitimate to attack the yugoslav federation, although without the united nations mandate.

What the world needs today is a definite, spiritual mobilization of the nations who believe in god against this tide of red agnosticism. it needs a moral mobilization against the hideous ideas of the police state and human slavery. i suggest that the united nations should be reorganized without the communist nations in it. it is a proposal based solely upon moral, spiritual and defense foundations. it is a proposal to redeem the concept of the united nations to the high purpose for which it was created. it is a proposal for moral and spiritual cooperation of god-fearing free nations. and in rejecting an atheistic other world, i am confident that the almighty god will be with us.

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

Unfortunately, the united states and a few other governments have used the war on terrorism as a way of violating human rights. i am referring to the case of the guantánamo bay prisoners. this violation of the rights of prisoners has been so unbelievable that the united nations has reminded the united states repeatedly that the treatment of prisoners should take place according to the preestablished conventions of the united nations.

You have to listen to trump in a nonpolitical way. when trump starts talking on the campaign trail, "nato's pointless, it's worthless. we're paying the lion's share and these people aren't contributing, and that's gonna end. this make america great, put america first." people think, "wow! we're gonna get out of nato, finally. he's gonna close up nato!" no. if you listen very carefully, he was complaining that the other members were not doing their part.

We had shot six episodes of the west wing season when 9/11 happened. an extraordinary thing that would never happen today is aaron going to the network and saying, "i think we need to go back and reshoot, i have something i want to do," and the network just kind of let him do it.

I can't think of any one film that improved on a good novel, but i can think of many good films that came from very bad novels.

I don't think nations can stand aside for ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Time allows change to take place and the very evolution of the universe is what requires some conception of time. mathematically can we write down a universe that doesn't have time? sure. do we think that would be realised in the larger reality that is out there? none of us take that possibility seriously.
