The President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

I’ve always liked quiet people: You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.

People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.
