All governments in all wars have used all the means at their disposal to put their own motives, decisions and actions, and the actions of their military forces, in the best possible light.

War is big and there are only so many reporters and only so many places for their words and images to appear. Choices are made constantly.

Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.

I'm a schoolteacher and a writer. So that's what I do.

I don't like to talk about things unless I have to. I don't like to talk a scene to death or overanalyze it, especially if I feel like I have some way in on my own.

I just want people to recognize my father as an artist who was way ahead of his time. He was a genius. His life just burnt out quicker than it should have. And that is unfortunate, but what is more unfortunate is that everybody focuses on the nature of his death as opposed to the nature of his life, which was so much greater and more important.

Since we all know that death is inevitable, I don't really see the difference between dying now and dying a decade later. So if I'm threatened with assassination, I welcome it!

I will die like a true-blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning - organize.
