"So much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse can seem small
and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insults and phony controversies
and manufactured outrage. It is a politics that pretends to be brave, and tough,
but in fact is born of fear. John called on us to be bigger and better than
that."
