Henry A. Kissinger
  • A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

  • It is, after all, the responsibility of the expert to operate the familiar and that of the leader to transcend it.

  • It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

  • You can't make war in the Middle East without Egypt and you can't make peace without Syria.

  • Ninety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
