Our country's political discourse and debate are enriched by discussions of the political implications of our faith traditions whether they are taking place in our communities at our dinner tables or in our places of worship.

Until as recently as November of 1966 I had complete faith in the Warren Report. Of course my faith in the Report was grounded in ignorance since I had never read it.

Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.

I was very very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith but I question it.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

In Washington success is just a training course for failure.

When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady and was of course a complete failure.

I went to a motivational training course once a course of self-discovery and I found out after a week that my fear - it was not a fear of not being accepted - was a very violent fear of failure.

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt abandonment disappointment longing failure and shame where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.
