"Sometimes I go for days without speaking to a soul. I think, â€œI should make that call", but I put it off. Because thereâ€™s something pleasurable about not talking. But then I love talking, so itâ€™s not that. But sometimes it can be nice. Itâ€™s not like I sit here philosophizing, because Iâ€™ve no talent for that. Itâ€™s just this thing about silence thatâ€™s so wonderful."

-- Ingmar Bergman

“During Richard Nixonâ€™s first term, when I served as secretary of defense, we withdrew U.S. forces from Vietnam while building up the Southâ€™s ability to defend itself.
