More From Alan K. Simpson

A politician is required to listen to humbug, talk humbug, condone humbug. the most we can hope for is that we don't actually believe it.
Believe Politician Humbug
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
Funny Humor Cutting
When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. they then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. it's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.
Thinking Errors Democracies Have
We forget that, although freedom of speech constitutes an important victory in the battle against old restraints, modern man is in a position where much of what "he" thinks and says are the things that everybody else thinks and says; that he has not acquired the ability to think originally - that is, for himself - which alone gives meaning to his claim that nobody can interfere with the expression of his thoughts.
Men Thinking Expression
I didn't go to college. i got tired of it. i didn't want to take ballroom dance taught by a former drill sergeant in the wacs. i didn't like flunking speech, me, flunking speech. but i realized sometime later, okay, i don't have a piece of paper that says i've been educated, so i'm gonna have to be able to demonstrate that i'm educated. so i began self-teaching. it was all related to desire.
Tired College Desire
No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself. thus a man's wife, however realistic her view of him, always flatters him in the end, for the worst she sees in him is appreciably better, by the time she sees it, than what is actually there.

Similar Quotes
Christians were never meant to be normal. we’ve always been holy troublemakers, we’ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension that’s incompatible with the status quo; we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that god wants it to be. and the kingdom of god is different from the patterns of this world.
Change God Christian
He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. god's power and will are equal; what he wills he works.

Can a civilization hold together if man abandons his faith in god?
