Movie Quotes
“If you have power, people will always try to take it from you. Always.” – Lynne Cheney
“Beware the quiet man. For while others speak, he watches. And while others act, he plans. And when they finally rest… he strikes.” – Anonymous [written quote on the screen]
“I sense that, uh, you’re a kinetic leader. You make decisions based on instinct.” – Dick Cheney
“I am. People have said that.” – George W. Bush
“Yeah, yeah. Very different, very different from, uh, from your father in that regard. Now, maybe I can handle some of the more mundane jobs, overseeing bureaucracy, managing military, uh, energy, uh, foreign policy.” – Dick Cheney
“That sounds good.” – George W. Bush
“By all accounts of what people saw in that room on that terrible day, there was confusion, fear, uncertainty, but Dick Cheney saw something else that no one else did, he saw an opportunity. As the world becomes more and more confusing, we tend to focus on the things that are right there in front of us, while ignoring the massive forces that actually change and shape our lives.” – Kurt
