“This country is not pro-American. It is United States property.”
“â€¦feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that weâ€™re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel weâ€™d rather collapse and back away. Theyâ€™re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where weâ€™re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, itâ€™s with us wherever we are.”

I am not talking here about the suspicions we sometimes have of one another, the distant but lurking sense that perhaps our lover lies to us, our best friend whispers behind our back. I am talking about a belief that betrayal inundates the atoms of the universe, is so woven into the workings of the world that every step is treacherous, and that below the rich mud lies a mine.”
