QUOTABLE

(I've been keeping a commonplace book for nearly fifteen years. It's fun to dip back into the quotations, so I've decided to post one every now and then.)

"I really cannot believe that Americans are a historically unique and chosen people. I am myself a Jew and an American, and with all due respect to the Deity, I think the odds are prohibitive that He would have gone out of his way to choose me twice over."

Irving Kristol, as quoted by Michael Novak, in "The Neoconservative Imagination".
