More quotes by Andrew Sullivan
The middle part of the country - the great red zone that voted for Bush - is clearly ready for war. The decadent Left in its enclaves on the coasts is not dead - and may well mount what amounts to a fifth column.
Andrew Sullivan
Homophobia: the fear that another man will treat you like you treat women.
Andrew Sullivan
If you are a gay couple living in Alabama, you know one thing: your family has no standing under the law and it can and will be violated by strangers.
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'm openly gay because I'm a Catholic.
Andrew Sullivan
The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
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
Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.
Andrew Sullivan
I think very few people are gay. I'm a two-percenter myself.
Andrew Sullivan
If you change the society and a culture, the politics will follow.
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
A mind is a wonderful thing to change.
Andrew Sullivan
The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents. And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy.
Andrew Sullivan
I think essentially corrupting institutions in Washington are turning conservatism into something that is really very creepy, but also emotionally and psychically powerful for people.
Andrew Sullivan
For me, God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit have always been my closest friends in this journey.
Andrew Sullivan
I think there were two great gay Americans obviously, and that was Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman.
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
When Bush says that Abu Ghraib was the work of a few, he forgot to mention that he was one of them.
Andrew Sullivan
Every generation is born into, for the most part, a heterosexual family.

Don't fool yourself that you're blogging when you're really just putting stuff up online.
