More quotes by Andrew Sullivan
Obama is looking good because he kept his nerve and retained his restraint. That's a tough combo: nerve and restraint. It takes a cold-bloodedness to pull this off, and there are times when ice seems to run through the man's veins.
Andrew Sullivan
The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
Andrew Sullivan
The first person I came out to was God. And the first conversation I ever had with anybody was in prayer.
Andrew Sullivan
Don't fool yourself that you're blogging when you're really just putting stuff up online.
Andrew Sullivan
Al Gore's problem, in my view, is that he never liked politics. He's actually deeply uncomfortable in it but felt he had to do it because of his father. He's much more comfortable in a private sector role and has, in fact, been much more successful in a private sector role, and I admire him for that.
Andrew Sullivan
Personally, I'd rather have pins stuck in my eyes than endure a conversation with John Kerry, but I'd love to hang with Bush.
Andrew Sullivan
I enjoy being around people who disagree with me and I enjoy being in non-political contexts and activities.
Andrew Sullivan
There is no escaping this fight. It is civilization or Jihadism. We can and should debate tactics but the sides are clear enough.
Andrew Sullivan
Bush has legitimized a huge expansion of the welfare state, liberalizing immigration, and using force for democratization abroad. All the next Democratic president has to do to finish Bush's hard work is to raise taxes to pay for it all.
Andrew Sullivan
Every generation is born into, for the most part, a heterosexual family.
Andrew Sullivan
When you put a tiny and despised minority up for a popular vote, the minority usually loses.
Andrew Sullivan
I actually bought the argument that if we democratized Iraq, we could create a space for venting some of the stuff that's going on in the Middle East in these autocratic regimes that is expressing itself through jihadism, because it has nowhere else to express itself.
Andrew Sullivan
Leftists would like to pretend that any criticism of their views raises the specter of domestic repression. But in a country with a First Amendment, no suppression from government is likely, and in the citadels of the media and the academy, the far left is actually vastly overrepresented.
Andrew Sullivan
Although I never publicly defended promiscuity, I never publicly attacked it. I attempted to avoid the subject, in part because I felt, and often still feel, unable to live up to the ideals I really hold.
Andrew Sullivan
I think a blog to live really has to be probably four or five times a day.
Andrew Sullivan
It's only because you can now watch cheerfully biased Fox News that you begin to realize how cheerlessly biased CNN really is - and always was. Or CBS. Or ABC. Or the BBC.
Andrew Sullivan
For me, friendship has always been the most accessible of relationships - certainly far more so than romantic love. Friendship, I learned, provided a buffer in the interplay of emotions, a distance that made the risk of intimacy bearable, a space that allowed the other person to remain safely another person.
Andrew Sullivan
...the current Human Rights Commission's working group is made up of the Netherlands, Hungary, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe. No, I'm not making that up.
Andrew Sullivan
Even if it's deep unhappiness, it's your unhappiness.
Andrew Sullivan
I purge compulsively. I'm constantly shedding things.
