Вернулась с просмотра "Линкольна". Не могу описать свое вдохновение этим человеком, нет таких слов в русском языке. Без фанфар, без слепого фанатизма, прибегая к рискованным уловкам и неправдам, человек изменил ход истории. И что меня особенно восхищает - в этом не было ничего личного.

The wife of a navy aide wrote, "Oh, there is a Bucktail soldier here devoted to the president, drives with him, and when Mrs. L is not home, sleeps with him. What stuff!"
A teenage Lincoln wrote this poem, published in LA Weekly, which seems to hint at gay marriage:
"I will tell you a Joke about Jewel and Mary
It is neither a Joke nor a Story
For Rubin and Charles has married two girls
But Billy has married a boy..."
