More quotes by Andrew Sullivan
I'm openly gay because I'm a Catholic.
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
I purge compulsively. I'm constantly shedding things.
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 relationship of black Americans to Obama is sociologically riveting.
Andrew Sullivan
Homophobia: the fear that another man will treat you like you treat women.
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
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
Every generation is born into, for the most part, a heterosexual family.
Andrew Sullivan
What modernity requires is not that you cease living according to your faith, but that you accept that others may differ and that therefore politics requires a form of discourse that is reasonable and accessible to believer and non-believer alike. This religious restraint in politics is critical to the maintenance of liberal democracy.
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
I'm not one of these people who thinks everybody's gay.
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
The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
Andrew Sullivan
The New York Times had not become The New York Times overnight. It had to earn its reputation day-by-day.
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
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
I think you earn your reputation for honesty and integrity literally hour-by-hour, and taste for that matter.
Andrew Sullivan
Anything that raises any internal honesty about gay life is inherently suspect.
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.
