Tragically true:

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.

    You Americans, you really do have heroes and villains. Proper heroes and proper villains. Is that good or bad, Ellie?

  2. Well, I certainly think it's tragic that we no longer have journalists like Murrow.

    And I don't think it's a good thing that the U.S. is characterized by black-and-white thinking. We are not known for a tolerance for ambiguity and that is not only unfortunate, it is very dangerous.
