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
I think if someone is writing continuously for 10 years and has not changed their mind about something - there's something wrong with them. They're not really thinking.

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
The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
Andrew Sullivan

This religious restraint in politics is critical to the maintenance of liberal democracy.
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 do not believe that the truth can ever be in conflict with God.
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
I'm not going to sit around an pretend I'm not thinking things on my blog when I am thinking them and when I'm open to rebuttal.
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 important things are not worth knowing because they are useful. They are worth knowing because they are true.
