More quotes by Andrew Sullivan
What gay culture is before it is anything else, before it is a culture of desire or a culture of subversion or a culture of pain, is a culture of friendship.
Andrew Sullivan
I watched Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle. Good grief. What whining weenies.
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
[D]id you really expect fairness on the environmental issue? For a swathe of reporters, this is not a matter of empirical reporting it's a matter of faith. Bush cannot be pro-environment because he's Bush.
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
To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now.
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
My own early crusade for same-sex marriage, for example, is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.
Andrew Sullivan
What I love about the Internet and what I try to do on the issues is insist upon the ability to have bad taste if one wants.
Andrew Sullivan
If you change the society and a culture, the politics will follow.
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
We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out, so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.
Andrew Sullivan
My own view is simply that there are some very basic rules very simple rules that apply to all writing in a way, which is: don't lie if you're wrong, correct do not misrepresent and try and keep oneself intellectually honest - which means, as a writer, the very difficult task in public of admitting you were wrong.
Andrew Sullivan
In academia, left-liberalism is so entrenched its advocates' debating skills have gone rusty. When you've been talking to yourself for decades and imposing speech codes on everyone else, your ability to argue coherently - let alone entertainingly - inevitably wanes.
Andrew Sullivan
The good news about me is that my friends and social network is entirely independent of politics.
Andrew Sullivan
The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
Andrew Sullivan
The one man more responsible for destroying the Democratic centrist revival, for throwing away the Clinton legacy, and for suicidally pitching his party to the populist left was Al Gore
Andrew Sullivan
I like the pluralism of modernity it doesn't threaten me or my faith. And if one's faith is dependent on being reinforced in every aspect of other people's lives, then it is a rather insecure faith, don't you think?
Andrew Sullivan
I think very few people are gay. I'm a two-percenter myself.
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.
