I end up liking politicians, both left and right, who talk about political matters as if they are addressing a bunch of adults, as if they are capable of handling both complexity and emotional responsibility.

More From Rachel Maddow

The fact is that in england so many of our politicians are career politicians - they've always been politicians since they left their education. and in the old days of course politicians used to be fish mongers or doctors or whatever. they'd lived life. these days, power seems to go to the hands of people that that's all they've done. and i'm not sure that's a good thing, because it does remove them from the realities of life.

Remember when you were a kid and the boys didn't like the girls? only sissies liked girls? what i'm trying to tell you is that nothing's changed. you think boys grow out of not liking girls, but we don't grow out of it. we just grow horny. that's the problem. we mix up liking pussy for liking girls. believe me, one couldn't have less to do with the other.

When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?

You read a bunch of books and you get a bunch of how-tos, and you take a bunch of classes and you learn a bunch of techniques. you set yourself goals and benchmarks. i think people have imported that into their experience of taking care of children.

It's as if scientists exert every effort of will they possess deliberately to find the least significant problems in the world and explain them. art matters. happiness matters. love matters. good matters. evil matters. slam the fridge door. they are the only things that matter and they are of course precisely the things that science goes out of its way to ignore.

The unconscious wants truth, as the body does. the complexity and fecundity of dreams come from the complexity and fecundity of the unconscious struggling to fulfill that desire. the complexity and fecundity of poetry come from the same struggle.

Similar Quotes

The playing field is more sacred than the stock exchange, more blessed than capital hill or the vaults of fort knox. the diamond and the gridiron -- and, to a lesser degree, the court, the rink, the track, and the ring -- embody the american dream of eden.

We all have two lives: the true, the one we dreamed of in childhood and go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin.

What people tell me they take away from my books is that they can shape their lives, they can achieve their own dreams. and certainly that's what i want them to take away.

One might point to the great illumination that has resulted from freud's analysis of the abracadabra of our dreams. no one can any longer dismiss the fantasy because it is logically inconsistent, superficially absurd, or objectively untrue.
