More quotes by Andrew Sullivan
The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they're called Republicans.
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
In this nonfundamentalist understanding of faith, practice is more important than theory, love more important than law, and mystery is seen as an insight into truth rather than an obstacle. It is the great lie of our time that all religious faith has to be fundamentalist to be valid.
Andrew Sullivan
If you change the society and a culture, the politics will follow.
Andrew Sullivan
Here’s why I find it impossible to be a Republican: any crowd that instantly cheers the execution of 234 individuals is a crowd I want to flee, not join.
Andrew Sullivan
I think sex is completely absurdly demonized in our culture. But in the end, however much sex you want to have, with however many people in how many ways, to be loved and to love is what human beings really want.
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
The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
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 believe that there are moments in sex that are so awesome that they actually reflect God.
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
When I was about eight, I asked my mother if it was true that God knows everything about you. When she answered yes, I said, Then there's no hope for me, Mum.
Andrew Sullivan
How can you tell when a political ideology has become the equivalent of a religion?
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
It is one of history's great tragedies that American conservatism, born in part in resistance to Soviet torture, should end by endorsing it in America, by Americans.
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
When you put a tiny and despised minority up for a popular vote, the minority usually loses.
Andrew Sullivan
Don't fool yourself that you're blogging when you're really just putting stuff up online.
Andrew Sullivan
I've never been a partisan, I've never been a Republican, I've never been a Democrat, ever, which is why I was very frustrated being called a gay Republican when I never attached myself to that.
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.
