More From Fred Rogers

All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. for if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.
Moving Simple Adequate
And thus, in full, there are four classes: the men who feel nothing, and therefore see truly; the men who feel strongly, think weakly, and see untruly (second order of poets); the men who feel strongly, think strongly, and see truly (first order of poets); and the men who, strong as human creatures can be, are yet submitted to influences stronger than they, and see in a sort untruly, because what they see is inconceivably above them. this last is the usual condition of prophetic inspiration.

I'm a very simple person. i'm very shallow. shallow, simple, easily pleased: that's me.
Simple Shallow Persons
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.
Real Simple Views
I despise those shallow religious comics. dennis the menace, for instance, is the most shallow. when they show him praying - i just can't stand that sort of thing, talking to god about some cutesy thing that he'd done during the day. i don't think hank ketcham has any deep knowledge of things like that.

Similar Quotes
Within my own lifetime, i have seen the most ferocious assaults on christian faith and morals; first on the part of the intellectual community, and then on the part of the government... the federal government has not even tried to conceal its hostility to religion.
Christian Religious Government
Because we have for millenia made moral, aesthetic, religious demands on the world, looked upon it with blind desire, passion or fear, and abandoned ourselves to the bad habits of illogical thinking, this world has gradually become so marvelously variegated, frightful, meaningful, soulful, it has acquired color - but we have been the colorists: it is the human intellect that has made appearances appear and transported its erroneous basic conceptions into things.
Meaningful Religious Truth
I am a deeply religious person, but i belong to no denomination. i follow the spirit of god's law, not the letter of the law. one can become so attached to the outward symbols and structure of religion that one forgets its original intent - to bring one closer to god. we can only gain access to the kingdom of god by realizing it dwells within us as well as in all humanity. know that we are all cells in the ocean of infinity, each contributing to the others' welfare.
Religious Ocean Cells
You should be real witnesses of a world of doing and acting differently. but in life it is difficult for everything to be clear, precise, outlined neatly. life is complicated; it consists of grace and sin. he who does not sin is not human. we all make mistakes and we need to recognise our weakness. a religious who recognises himself as weak and a sinner does not negate the witness that he is called to give, rather he reinforces it, and this is good for everyone. what i expect of you therefore is to give witness. i want this special witness from religious.
