Conservative Talk

Famous quotes containing the words conservative and/or talk:

“The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
