This creates the opportunity for powerful political theater, all the more powerful because it is genuinely felt.

Even the hardest bitten reporters in the room were wiping tears from their eyes."27 — John Gartner

I'm always telling myself I don't have many feelings. Even when something does affect me I'm only moderately moved. I almost never cry. It's not that I'm stronger than the ones with teary eyes, I'm weaker. They have courage. When all you are is skin and bones, feelings are a brave thing. I'm more of a coward.

I have heard what poets write about women. They rhyme and rhapsodize and lie. I have watched sailors on the shore stare mutely at the slow-rolling swell of the sea. I have watched old soldiers with hearts like leather grow teary-eyed at their king's colors stretched against the wind.

A trouper knows. — Patrick Rothfuss
