More From L. Ron Hubbard

Vulnerability of artists is definitely what makes organizations like pen necessary because, as i tried to argue, the actual work that writers and artists do has an ornery way of surviving. particularly in this age of the internet, it is very easy for forbidden work to be found online somewhere if you know where to look. artists themselves, however, are in increasing danger, and not just artists. the great concern is that year after year, rising numbers of journalists are being killed in pursuit of their work.
Artist Age Arguing
Utilitarianism is a civilization of production and of use, a civilization of "things" and not of "persons," a civilization in which persons are used in the same way as things are used. in the context of a civilization of use, woman can become an object for man, children a hindrance to parents, the family an institution obstructing the freedom of its members.

You think i have more than most people dream of? what other people dream of doesn't matter. i always had less than i ever dreamt of. all i ever dreamt of was family. a father and a mother. most people don't even need to dream of such luxuries, they take them for granted. that is what i used to dwell on, alone in my bedroom. i dwelt as all children do, on the injustice. injustice is the most terrible thing in the world, oliver. everything that is evil springs from it and only a cheap soul can abide it without anger.

The fame thing is interesting because i never wanted to be famous, and i never dreamt i would be famous....you know i didn't think they'd rake through my bins, i didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lens. i never dreamt it would impact my daughter's life negatively, which at times it has. it would be churlish to say there's nothing good about being famous; to have a total stranger walk up to you as you're walking around safeways, and say a number of nice things that they might say about your work.

Ultimately, it comes down to taste. it comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you're doing. picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal. and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and i think part of what made the macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.
