If you think it’s not hard, you’re not doing it right.  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin, and the most nationalistic / patriotic country in the last 300 years was Germany during the Third Reich.  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) I think we too often go soft in trying to spare people the agony of confronting reality  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) I think there are a good many Donald Trump voters who are sick of government as it is practiced in America and genuinely want to blow up the system and see what happens.

The story you are telling is only as good as the information in it: things you elicit, or things you observe, that make a narrative come alive; things that support your point not just through assertion, but through example; quotes that don’t just convey information, but also personality  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) I don’t think there is prejudice against atheists the same way there is prejudice against fat people. I don’t think people hate or contemn atheists; I think people feel sorry for atheists  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) That is my theory to explain the I don’t knows. It’s human  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) The one thing an aspiring writer must understand is that it’s hard. If you think it’s not hard, you’re not doing it right  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) It’s as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots  (Gene Weingarten Quotes) We want to believe that the world is understandable and controllable and unthreatening, that if we follow the rules, we’ll be okay.
