Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven.

I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life. I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything.

Sure it's a big job, but I don't know anyone who can do it better than I can. ~John F. Kennedy

#quotes #warren-spahn

It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter. It is worth remembering that the Jeffersonian "wall of separation" between church and state has always been intended to protect the church from the state as much as the state from the church. ~Jon Meacham
