More From Rachel Maddow

If i cannot brag of knowing something, then i brag of not knowing it; at any rate, brag.
Science Knowing Bragging
My real purpose in telling middle-school students stories was to practice telling stories. and i practiced on the greatest model of storytelling we've got, which is "the iliad" and "the odyssey." i told those stories many, many times. and the way i would justify it to the head teacher if he came in or to any parents who complained was, look, i'm telling these great stories because they're part of our cultural heritage. i did believe that.
Teacher Real Believe
There's a social and human necessity for some kind of continuity, but it's not axiomatic and not something you're born into; it's something you have to work at. and one of the ways to work at it - perhaps the best - is storytelling: telling stories about yourself to others, telling stories about yourself to yourself, telling stories about others to others.
Telling Stories Way Kind
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.
Sunshine Practice Sky
The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you. and that is a fact. so if you need to brag, brag about that.

At home it's all batman and star wars and they do gang up on me. sometimes i don't want to dress up as darth vader or play train sets, so i'll go out for a drink with the girls.
Girl Stars War
Many of our greatest musicians abandoned all of their aesthetic objectives to try to become pertinent. and, at the end of the day, they never became pop stars. i counter stated that very strongly, and i continue to do that.
Stars The End Of The Day Trying
The only thing a star asks is to be allowed to twinkle.
Stars Asks
Two things hold promise of improving those lights. one is to apply science to land-use. the other is to cultivate a love of country a little less spangled with stars, and a little more imbued with that respect for mother-earth - the lack of which is, to me, the outstanding attribute of the machine-age.
