More From Jules Feiffer

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.
Lying Way In Life Feet
We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.
Self Bird Underwater
You cannot choose between party government and parliamentary government. i say, you can have no parliamentary government if you have no party government; and, therefore, when gentlemen denounce party government, they strike at the scheme of government which, in my opinion, has made this country great, and which i hope will keep it great.

When they talk about family values, it's in a repressive way, as if our american tradition were only the puritan tradition or the 19th century oppressive tradition. the christian tradition.
Christian Way Tradition
Believing things on authority only means believing them because you have been told them by someone you think trustworthy. ninety-nine per cent of the things you believe are believed on authority... every historical event in the world is believed on authority. none of us has seen the norman conquest or the defeat of the armada.
Believe Mean Thinking
The urge to break with a tradition is only appropriate when you're dealing with an outdated, troublesome tradition: i never really thought about that because i take the old-fashioned approach of equating tradition with value (which may be a failing). but whatever the case, positive tradition can also provoke opposition if it's too powerful, too overwhelming, too demanding. that would basically be about the human side of wanting to hold your own.
