I wanted to go into the balance between fear and transcendence. — Colin Stetson

And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision. — Burton L. Mack

There is the apocalyptic influence in the Trumpean presidency: The world is destroyed in order to be purified and renewed in the ideal way that is projected by a Steve Bannon.

So there is an apocalyptic suggestion, but I don't think it's at the very heart of his presidency. — Donald Trump
