“The desire to do something really wonderful, and the worry that it’s really awful—and how to rebound from those two situations. I think the most difficult thing is looking at your work and understanding what to edit, and what not to do. I mean there are a million decisions you have to make, and I guess, in the end, one hopes to not be boring. That would horrify me until the end of time if I thought my work was boring.
You also have to have perseverance—and maybe that’s the hardest thing, to persevere and to believe that what you’re doing is worth doing—and to do it, rather than talking about doing it.”

Leo: Mr. President.
Bartlet: A morphine drip, and we can skip the formalities. I might get one myself… wheel it into meetings with the joint chiefs. You’re not fired, Leo. You can delegate, work part-time. Bring the morphine with you for all I care.
Leo: You… You remember… what you told me… when you offered me the job?
Bartlet: “I need you to jump off a cliff.”
Leo: And I did. And I’d do it again. But you need a new… chief of staff.
Bartlet: We came here to put the job first. Spend our lives for something that would outlast us. I just thought we’d have a longer line of credit is all. I’m gonna need that list of names.
Leo: Only one name.
Orla Kiely x Uniqlo.
Still find it baffling that the collection consists of just scarves. My friend said they look like giant kitchen towels. (Well, the apple print reminds me of Orla’s collection for Target.) But I still want them!
