All artists are anarchists in some way; some more extreme than others, but it is something that I think artists are supposed to do. We are supposed to present a different angle on everything, and I certainly think it is as much as poetry, in my opinion. ~Robert Zemeckis

Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times.

But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
