Hey, what did you say to Jerry?

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Understanding Fear and Anger in Vulnerability
Lloyd Vogel:
Listen, I realize I need to deal with my feelings. When I'm scared, which I was in the hospital, and I have been for a long time, I get really angry. I know it's a way of saying, "I can't deal with this. Get away from me." But that's not what I want. It's actually the opposite of what I want.

The Post - Perception of Treason and Government Reputation
Daniel Ellsberg:
I was struck, in fact, by President Johnson's reaction to these revelations as close to treason. Because it reflected to me the sense that what was damaging to the reputation of a particular administration, a particular individual, was in itself treason. Which is very close to saying, "I am the State".

The Post - The Cost of American Pride in Vietnam
Daniel Ellsberg:
Someone said this, at some point, about why we stayed when we knew we were losing. Ten percent was to help the South Vietnamese. Twenty percent was to hold back the Commies. Seventy percent was to avoid the humiliation of an American defeat. Seventy percent of those boys just to avoid being humiliated? That stuck with me.
