More From James Salter

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

The first thing, the very very first thing, "find out what your greatest characteristic is, your greatest undoing, your central characteristic of unconsciousness." each one's is different. somebody is sex-obsessed. in a country like india, where for centuries sex has been repressed, that has become almost a universal characteristic; everybody is obsessed with sex. somebody is obsessed with anger, and somebody else is obsessed with greed. you have to watch which is your basic obsession.

Perez hilton is brilliant to me. because he’s taken something that people don’t think is valid, don’t think is important, and he’s made them obsessed with it. people are obsessed with him. they’re obsessed with his site, they’re obsessed with what he does. they love him. they all love him. they love you, they hate you, what you don’t want is indifference. the day that i put a record out that nobody says a damn thing about, that’s bad.

It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. according to psychiatrists, the fear of public speaking is caused by the fear of ostracism, the fear of standing out, the fear of criticism, the fear of ridicule, the fear of being an outcast. the fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.

I don't fear death. i'm not obsessed with it the way everybody else seems to be. it's wrong to say "everybody," but in literature i see it all the time - preoccupation with it, philosophical preoccupation, in fact. that's a principle element of literature and philosophy, often cited as the main element, the only real element. i say give it up.

Philosophy Law Advice
Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. matter and energy, yang and yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.
Philosophy Two Heaven
The best and safest way of philosophising seems to be, first to enquire diligently into the properties of things, and to establish those properties by experiences [experiments] and then to proceed slowly to hypotheses for the explanation of them. for hypotheses should be employed only in explaining the properties of things, but not assumed in determining them; unless so far as they may furnish experiments.
Philosophy Science Experience
I would say the 1980s, most importantly, there's been a witnessing of the bankruptcy of the liberal philosophy and the anti-moral and amoral philosophies that were so prevalent in the 1960s and '70s, the rebellion of young people, which brought about the drug epidemic in so many to break down the family. particularly during this decade, the spiritual rebirth. i'm an evangelical, and i've watched the evangelical church here and around the world preaching christ, the death, burial, resurrection of the savior, receiving more receptivity everywhere, and that growth.
