HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Jed Bartlet calls the Butterball Hotline. A holiday classic.
President Bartlet: Sweden has a 100% literacy rate,
Leo: 100%! How do they do that?
Leo McGarry: Well, maybe they don’t and they also can’t count.
I think…our side has done a bad job explaining that what we’re fighting for is important. It’s not about abstract programs and endless acronyms, but real things that affect real people, like affording college.

First of all, I’m crazy about the President, Josh. I’ve been crazy about him for longer than you’ve known who he was. And I’ll keep poking him with a stick. That’s how I show my love.

Can I please be CJ Cregg when (if) I grow up?
There is a connection between progress of a society and progress in the Arts. The age of Pericles was also the age of Phidias. The age of Lorenzo de Medici was also the age of Leonardo Da Vinci. The age of Elizabeth was the age of Shakespeare.
Toby in “Gone Quiet” on The West Wing
An artist’s job is to captivate you for however long as we’ve asked for your attention. If we stumble into truth, we got lucky, and I don’t get to decide what truth is…I write poetry, Toby. That’s how I enter the world.
Tabitha Fortis in “The U.S. Poet Laureate” on The West Wing
I whole heartedly agree with the first sentence. I just ask, if artists can’t decide what truth is who can? Can anyone?
